The best of Durango, this beautifully maintained in town oasis is perfectly situated across from the Birket Trailhead leading to Animas Mountain and offers direct access to Durango’s favorite hiking and biking trails, all while being tucked into a quiet desirable neighborhood on a private cul de sac. For those with kids, there are 3 schools covering every grade within walking distance. This beautiful, well maintained and recently updated house is a rare in-town offering. Step inside to a sun-filled living room with soaring vaulted ceilings with skylights and windows that fill the space with natural light. The kitchen and primary bath have been recently remodelled, bringing a fresh, modern touch, while thoughtful updates throughout show the pride of ownership. A formal dining room connects seamlessly to the kitchen and opens to a spacious deck with an awning—perfect for summer evenings overlooking the beautiful fenced backyard with huge mature trees, lots of shade, lush green grass and a fenced vegetable garden for the green thumb! The primary suite feels like a private retreat with vaulted ceilings, a generous walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath featuring a double vanity and tiled walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms upstairs each offer walk-in closets and share a full bath. On the lower level, you’ll find a versatile great room, sun filled office space with doors that open to the serene backyard, and a fourth bedroom with its own half bath and direct backyard access. Practicality meets comfort and efficiency with a modern high-efficiency boiler for baseboard heating & instant hot water, in addition to a PV solar system for low utilities. The solar electric system covers regular electricity usage so the monthly fee is only a $35 monthly connection fee. This is less than 1/4 of the average Colorado electric bill of $145 a month! With the excellent insulation, windows, and the on demand water heater, the gas bill averages only $49 a month, even in winter months. This means your gas and electric bills together, are 58% of the average electric bill, truly incredible! With the mature shade trees the home stays nice and cool in the summer naturally. The oversized two-car garage and a convenient main-level laundry and powder room bring a nice flow to your daily routines. This home strikes the balance between convenience and lifestyle—whether you’re headed out the door for a trail run, walking or biking to town, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of your own backyard.
