Welcome to 43 Big Bend Loop—a striking example of mountain-modern living in one of Durango’s most sought-after neighborhoods, Edgemont Highlands. This exceptional 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers 2,067 square feet of beautifully crafted living space on a wooded 0.27-acre parcel that borders a tranquil greenbelt. From refined interior finishes to its seamless connection with nature, every detail has been thoughtfully curated to create a home that’s as functional as it is inspiring. Built in 2015 and meticulously maintained, the home greets you with an inviting open-concept great room filled with natural light from expansive windows and highlighted by vaulted ceilings, wood trim, and a beautifully finished gas fireplace—perfect for cozy Durango evenings. The gourmet kitchen is equally impressive, featuring under-cabinet lighting, a double-oven Maytag gas range and aluminum-tub Maytag dishwasher (both installed in 2021), and a sleek LG refrigerator (2023). Whether you're preparing dinner for guests or a quick breakfast before hitting the trails, the kitchen's layout and finishes support both elegance and efficiency. In 2023, the sellers enhanced the home’s organization and flow by adding a custom-built expanded pantry and a 5' x 7' mudroom with tile floors, a butler’s pantry-style counter, bench seating, and generous storage—an ideal space for shedding coats, boots, and outdoor gear after a day of adventure. The thoughtful updates continue with an oversized covered back patio (12' x 28')—wired and ready for a hot tub—creating the perfect space for outdoor dining, relaxing in the shade, or stargazing under Durango’s clear mountain skies. The main-level primary suite is a private sanctuary, offering a serene bedroom with abundant natural light, a spa-like en suite bathroom with a soaking tub, separate tiled shower, dual vanities, private water closet, and access to a spacious closet.
