Located in the most coveted of neighborhoods in Durango, this “Mountain Craftsman” home provides over 4600 sf of very livable and practical space. Driving through the neighborhood, most wonder why they have never known of this private location just off County Road 250. Enter the paved circular driveway to this stunning architecture covered in rock, metal and stained board and batten. With an oversized four car garage including a work station and sink, there’s plenty of room for cars, snowmobiles, or any other equipment you might own! The entry is something to behold: a large custom steel lined door that not will not only last a lifetime but will hint to the substantial quality you are about to experience. The entry contains a bench to take off your snowy shoes and hang your jacket. Here you will sense the home’s casual and welcoming nature. The great room is accented by a center piece fireplace covered in stone from floor to ceiling. Distressed pine plank flooring and seamless views of Animas and Hog’s Back Mountains complete this wonderful gathering place. Just around the corner awaits a Chef’s kitchen adorned with a Viking range, bull nosed granite counters and a specially fabricated stainless farm house sink . For special dinners and events a private dining area complete with its own fireplace provides a place for hours of great conversation over fine meals. This level also consists of a very large master bedroom complete with sliding barn doors with custom handles. The ceiling itself is a work of art. The split floor plan provides 2 additional bedrooms, the guest suite known as the “cowboy bedroom” while the other bedroom is the “skier get away”. An office complete with not one but two custom built in desks with shelving allows two people to enjoy this home office. The lower level offers a private bedroom, a complete bathroom and yet another office or media room. The laundry room with granite counters and ample cabinetry is at the end of the hallway. Perhaps two of the most special features of this home are the game room with gas fireplace and work out rooms. Either space could be altered to suit the needs of any new owner. At last, walk up to the third level and experience the reading or “morning” room. This unique space allows you to” take in” Missionary Ridge and Animas Mountain while starting or ending your day. Complete with a gas fireplace this sanctuary is also an ideal spot to view the herds of elk that wonder along the Animas River Valley .
