560 E Third Ave #A, Durango, CO 81301

Listed as a condo, but lives like a Stick Built! This unique lot contains two single family homes that live under an HOA. Condo in concept only! If you've been looking for your Durango dream home, you've just found it. Originally built in 1918, this adorable bungalow on Historic Third Avenue was gutted and completely rebuilt in 2019. The rebuild preserved many of the distinctive architectural details including the original window casings in the living room and dining nook; stunning wood beams and the charming oasis that is the covered front porch. The rebuild, however, also updated this charmer to offer all the modern comforts that you demand. An Ecobee smart thermostat controls the central AC and heating system while the gas fireplace is on easy remote control. A brand new roof and furnace keeps you toasty and warm during Colorado winters, and an on-demand water heater provides plenty of water for your luxurious soaking tub! As you enter the home, the spacious covered front porch invites you to linger, enjoying morning coffee or an evening sundowner while relaxing into the pulse of Durango's historic downtown and coveted Third Avenue promenade. After a relaxing glass of wine on the porch, stretch your legs and take a stroll to the plethora of downtown restaurants, boutiques and art galleries...just 2 blocks away! Perhaps your wander winds down with a gander at one of Buckley Park's free concerts, or one of the various street festivals that Durango hosts throughout the year. As you return to the main entrance of the house, you'll notice that custom tile work is consistently showcased throughout: in the living room's stunning fireplace facade; the whimsical sunflower themed kitchen backsplash and the artistic placement in both the master and guest bathrooms. The tidy kitchen features leathered granite counter tops, new appliances, custom wood cabinets and enough room for a romantic dinner for two or an intimate dinner party. The high ceilings in the master bedroom add an airy feel to your cozy evening respite. Feeling a bit chilled from your evening stroll? Simply "zen out" in the deep soaking tub of your master bath. Adjacent to the living room you'll enter an efficient office that can also double as a small bedroom, with a closet and egress window. Follow a short flight of stairs into a lofted bedroom with separate closet and storage area. The house has an unfinished basement with plenty of water-tight storage and a large freezer. The precious fenced yard is laden with tulips and flowering trees and perhaps the largest lilac bushes you've ever seen in your life! The fenced yard includes a lovely storage shed that is included with the sale of the home. This is a turn-key find that is ready for all of your Durango adventures!
