Welcome to your in-town Durango retreat — where luxury living meets everyday adventure. Whether you’re envisioning a gathering place for generations, a permanent home immersed in Durango’s lifestyle, or a strategic long-term investment, this property stands apart. Set on a rare double, oversized one-third-acre lot—a true scarcity within the Durango city limits—this residence offers a coveted location, panoramic vistas, privacy, and investment potential unmatched in town. Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in Durango's Historic Animas City, this irreplaceable residence showcases a 2007 remodel and addition that blends timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort, creating a move-in ready retreat. Here, location is luxury. From your door, roll onto the Animas River Trail for direct access to downtown’s breweries, cafes, and culture, or stroll to the Recreation Center, library, and Oxbow Park. This coveted enclave places you at the intersection of mountain adventure and in-town convenience—where every day feels like a getaway, and opportunities like this rarely come available. Just outside the back door, an expansive Trex deck invites you to savor your morning coffee, host memorable outdoor dinners, or create festive gatherings beneath mature shade trees. Beyond the deck lies a lush, fully fenced backyard — a private oasis with manicured lawns, perennial rose gardens, raised garden beds, 2 storage sheds, and an automatic sprinkler system. Furthermore, the gated alley access makes it effortless to park and store your RV, camper, boat, or raft right on-site — a feature that is ultra-rare for in-town living. At the end of the alley sits your heated, oversized two-car garage with an attached art studio — complete with electricity and a private yard entrance. With EN-3 zoning and the City of Durango’s special ADU allowances, the studio could easily convert into a legal Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), providing space for guests or generating rental income. Inside, thoughtful design and craftsmanship meet natural light and stunning views in every direction. The home’s remodel created a luxurious second-floor primary suite that captures panoramic views of Perins Peak, Animas City Mountain, and the La Platas. The expansive suite features a cozy gas fireplace, vaulted ceilings, a spacious dual-vanity bath, a walk-in closet, and a spa-style steam shower with dual heads and a seating bench. The kitchen — with arched doorways, vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, granite counters, two-toned cabinetry, large granite island with gas range and bar seating — anchors the home, connecting seamlessly to the back deck. The sun-drenched living room is defined by a wall of windows that perfectly frames the neighborhood mountains. This inviting space showcases gleaming wood floors, a cozy gas fireplace with a tiled hearth, and a custom-designed wall ready for your entertainment center. Tucked off the main living area, the sunroom captures the natural light and beauty of the grounds, offering a direct, secondary access point to the magnificent Trex deck and private backyard sanctuary. This versatile space provides exceptional utility, flexibly serving as a private office or mudroom, while granting convenient interior access to both the adjacent laundry room—complete with dedicated storage and a utility sink—and a nearby three-quarter hallway bathroom. On the first floor, two bedrooms share a spacious en-suite bath with a jetted soaking tub and tiled shower. The larger, light-filled bedroom provides privacy and deck access — perfect for guests. Every bedroom offers generous closet space, recessed lighting, and quality wood finishes. This combination of space, unrivaled access, condition, and investment flexibility ensures that this residence is not just a home, but a legacy asset in the heart of Durango. Come experience the space, serenity, and opportunity that make this property truly one of a kind — your Durango hub for years to come.
