About The Town Of Crested Butte

The Town of Crested Butte is the quintessential Colorado mountain town. Most of the town is a designated Historic District, with quaint Victorian style homes, a variety of shops and restaurants, and parks scattered throughout. Within the town limits you can easily walk or ride your bike to Elk Avenue stores & restaurants. The lots are usually 50x125 with a few exceptions, so to purchase in Crested Butte is to have your neighbors close to you and somewhat limited views as compared with homes in the outlying areas. A free shuttle bus runs between Crested Butte and Mt. Crested Butte.

413 Second Street

This is quintessential Crested Butte. The historic Kikel residence was one of a half dozen bars that at one time lined Second Street offering the miners many opportunities for a cold beer after coming down from the mine. While the old bar still remains, the house has served as a residence for over 60 years. There was an upgrade done in about 2003 that included a new foundation, wiring, plumbing as well as some structural improvements. There are 4 gas heating stoves as well as electrical backup. The home has 2 bedrooms on the main floor and 2 additional upstairs and a total of 3 bathrooms. At the rear of the property, a small yard separates the house from the historic, 600 sq ft log barn. The barn, with Town approval, could be renovated for use as a garage or possibly an accessory dwelling. The property is within the R3C Zone, which, with a conditional use permit, could be used for a variety of business purposes.
