247 Jenkins Ranch Rd

Available Nov. 30th for one person. All utilities and WiFi included. No pets (sorry). Studio with private entrance in a house in Skyridge: a beautiful, peaceful, quiet subdivision 2 miles from Downtown Durango at the base of Horse Gulch trail system. 4 blocks from a trolley stop, a restaurant with oxygen bar, liquor store, convenience store, and yoga. Also 4 blocks from Skyridge Park with tennis courts, pavilion with picnic tables, etc. hiking trail behind house. There is a BEAUTIFUL POND in the greenbelt behind the house, private sitting and grilling area, designated solely for renters, under a tree, with a view of the pond. We are also planning to add a very private porch (8' wide X 5' deep) solely for the renters ASAP. The last picture is the porch, which will be installed against the renter's side of the house. The large Kitchen/ living room was just beautifully remodeled in the Rustic Victorian style with hand-made oak cabinets, 2 murals and vinyl parquet tile floor. Full kitchen with dishwasher, full size refrigerator, brand new range stove, double sink with sprayer, lots of storage and counter space for cooking. This room has nice views. It is well soundproofed in all 4 walls and ceiling. Very quiet and private. It is downstairs from the main house. You enter it from the garage. The laundry room, with a large utility sink and gear storage for renters (including a small gear wall), is in the next room. This is the only space shared with the homeowners, who live upstairs and only use it to do laundry. In the garage, there are ceiling hooks for a kayak. We are also installing a private storage area in the garage, 48 sq ft, with many shelving units, a cabinet, etc. The private full bathroom (tub and shower combo) with saltillo tile, and the bedroom/office/whatever room, with a real hardwood floor, is at the top of the stairs in the main house, just across the hall from the stairs. That hallway area is made private with a solid wood door on one side and a curtain on the other. You never need to walk through or see the home owner's living space. We, the homeowners, are a friendly professional couple in early 60's with 2 well-trained, indoor cats who stay upstairs. They are the kinds of cats that people are usually not allergic to. No smoking or vaping on premises. No students. Small, 4WD or All Wheel Drive cars or SUVs are best (steep driveway). The lease is month to month, but we are looking for someone more long term. We are looking for a stable, mature professional. Move-in costs: $1,350 deposit $1,350 1st month's rent Renter's insurance required When emailing us, please tell us a little about yourself: how long have you been in your current work position, how long you plan to stay in this rental, etc. Thank you, Sue All utilities included, including wifi.
