70 Lupine Cir #FLOR IDA RIVER ESTATES, Durango, CO 81301

If you're looking for a unique Southwest Colorado home, close to Durango with privacy and great access to some of the best bicycling in Southwest Colorado, this house is for you. 70 Lupine, sits on 1.3 acres of Ponderosa pine and open grass land which is fenced in for your pets safety and security. The property is situated at the end of a cul-de-sac and is 15 minutes to Fort Lewis College. Enjoy lots of wildlife and superb sunsets off of the pergola covered deck or from the cozy comfort inside through beautiful large picture windows on 2 floors. This cozy home is part of the Florida River Homeowner's Association, and includes 4 fishing permits on a private, mile section of Florida River and use of a trout pond a little ways up the road. The fireplace in the living room has a woodburning insert with a hearth that has been recently remodeled. The kitchen has lots of cupboard space above and below, and quaint enough for the busy cook. The South side of the house contains floor to ceiling picture windows for passive solar gain and recently renovated in 2010. A new Trex deck upgrade features a wrap around deck leading to an incredibly large open porch with an attached pergola for sun shade and ducking afternoon Colorado rain storms. The picture windows were upgraded and the exterior was replaced with stucco for increased insulation and reduced maintenance. Also installed at that time were insulated garage doors for the lighted, heated garage which also has lots of cupboard space. The walk out basement of the homeoffers a 1/2 bath, laundry room and a large open space for storage or an exercise area, or both! A covered carport is next to an insulated, heated garage and is easily accessible for firewood in the winter. The land is being converted to Colorado native plants, and does have a couple of young gardens and a cool grassy space. At this price an investor could also consider a purchase that may cover all mortgage expenses depending on the terms of financing.
