15 Lizard Head Dr, Durango, CO 81301

Designed to maximize views! Not only is this custom home specifically designed in three levels to maximize the stunning views from this naturally landscaped Skyridge lot, but it’s constructed entirely of concrete block. If you have images of plain block homes, think again, because today’s concrete block homes are far from simple and anything but boring. It is a naturally strong and solid construction, and from an environmental standpoint, provides a thermal mass that holds heat longer in the winter and keeps air cool inside in the summer, which results in significant energy savings regardless of the season with interior temps and energy bills much more pleasant. You can relax in your low maintenance sustainable home that shelters you from 66% more exterior noise than a wood frame home. This construction makes this already quiet street a sanctuary. Once you’ve decided that life is simply better with block, take in all the other outstanding features of this home recently updated with new carpet and fresh paint. The design allows you to take a few stairs up to the top level where the large bright windows and vaulted ceilings offer unobstructed views of the mountains. The open floor plan and two-sided fireplace are perfect for entertaining inside or outside on the deck that stretches the width of the home. Kitchen details include a breakfast bar, recessed and under-cabinet lighting, and glass block accents. This level also features an office with French doors off of the living room, and master suite with walk-in closet, Jacuzzi tub, glass shower, and Trex deck with a hot tub. The middle level of the home provides for three equally sized bedrooms, a full bath, and a play/bonus area. The lower level is the perfect gathering place with a huge 25 x 18 family room with track and recessed lighting, built-in shelving and patio doors that walk out to the natural, no-maintenance landscape, full bathroom, and arts and crafts/ studio room. Storage abounds in this home with not only ample places inside, but also with a seasonal gear storage off of the back patio and a 2-car garage with extra storage space. The natural landscaping of the yard allows for a low-maintenance lifestyle, so you can enjoy your free time. The city park just blocks away provides ample space for perfectly manicured grass, tennis courts, and playground equipment for kids of all ages and kids at heart. Skyridge, just minutes from downtown Durango, offers opportunities for a morning hike or bike ride on over 80 miles of trails in over 1000 acres of Horse Gulch open space, an afternoon game at Hillcrest Golf Course, and an evening of culture at Fort Lewis College Community Concert Hall. 15 Lizard Head UTIL INFO LPEA:Low- $118; High- $156; Avg- $132 Atmos: Low- $38; High- $178; Avg- $92
