542 N Lakeside Dr, Durango, CO 81303

This home was creatively built with a combination of cedar, brick, and rock and adorned with a Colorado classic whole log fence on the front porch with river stone pillars on either side of the entrance that wins you over before you even walk through the front door. Once you do, you will fall in love with all the nooks and crannies, the spacious vaulted ceilings and fun built-ins throughout, not to mention the picturesque views through the many windows that seem to bring the mountains right into your home. There is a wet bar in the living room, adjacent to one of the most gorgeous custom river rock fireplaces you've likely ever seen. A hardwood floored chef's kitchen that anyone would feel pampered to be blessed with, complete with beautiful granite countertops and splashbacks, a Jenn Air cooktop and double ovens, a stainless steel refrigerator, and even a trash compactor. Where to eat depends on the occasion. There is a lovely formal dining room for special meals, or you can cozy up in the bright breakfast nook nestled in windows. Living in this sprawling home, there is more than enough room for everyone to spend time together or have separate activities going on in multiple spaces throughout the house. There are essentially three master suites, yet the true master suite with its own stone fireplace is absolutely divine. The family room below the main floor puts an elegant spin on your classic rec room with its own gorgeous complete bar and a space large enough for endless options. The 1600 sq ft of the two decks are likely to be your favorite part of this home, and it is mine! Countless parties, cookouts, and quiet mornings sipping coffee are bound to be enjoyed here overlooking the snow-capped mountains. There are so many wonderful things about this place I cant list them all, the heated 2 car garage, lots of storage space, an oversized laundry room, surround sound, central vacuum, sprinkler system in the yard that deems the property fire mitigated by Fire Ready, and so much more. You really need to experience this fantastic spot for yourself.
