2465 W 2nd Ave, Durango, CO 81301

This iconic, brick Craftsman home is not to be missed. Rarely do historic homes of this kind come to market. Located in the Avenues, this stately property on a gorgeous park like setting is fully enclosed by a privet hedge. All of the charm of an historic home but better with today's amenities. The 100x160 (16k SF) lot is one of a few remaining large lots in the City. The 4 BD/4BA, 3192 SF home has been tastefully updated while maintaining the vintage charm with a modern flare. Attention to detail and construction was years beyond its time with thoughtful updates including in-floor radiant heat on main level, air conditioning upstairs, and new sprinkler system. From the inviting covered front porch, enter into the bright living room with beautiful hardwood floors and a cozy fireplace for those snowy winter nights. The room is spacious and inviting; perfect for entertaining or family gatherings. The gorgeous windows with plantation shutters add to the appeal of this room. Located just off the living area is the formal dining room leading into the kitchen. The sunny kitchen was updated and includes attractive backsplash, upgraded stainless steel appliances, bamboo cabinetry, breakfast nook, and bar seating. The main level master suite is complete with walk-in closet, private washer/dryer; bathroom complete with claw-foot tub and custom tile, wrap-around shower. French doors lead to a small patio that looks out over the front and side yards. On the other side of the room is a small sitting area with windows facing the private and very large backyard. Upstairs, you will find two guest rooms that share a full bathroom with double sinks and a small kitchenette for guests. Skylights, loads of storage and built-ins can be found here. The finished basement has another bedroom (non-conforming ingress/egress and not included in bedroom count). One has a 3/4 bath and the other is very large and could be a bonus/family room. There is also a small kitchenette, tons of storage, and laundry room on this level. This level with separate entrance would be great for a live-in nanny or the in-laws. The long, flat driveway leads to the heated, detached 2-car garage with loft area for storage. Throughout the entire home you will see details of this craftsman home such as glass door knobs, beveled glass windows and architecture features of this era. The charm, character, and beauty of this home are endless. Easy access to all levels of schools, rec center, restaurants, fairgrounds, biking/hiking trails and the Animas River trail. This is an incredibly unique opportunity to purchase a portion of Durango history on one of the largest in town lots. Schedule your showing today!
