Introducing your chance to own a People's Choice award winner of the 2016 Parade of Homes: A contemporary oasis in downtown Durango. This feat of architecture is an amazing combination of location, livability, and luxury. The lines alone are stunning. A Glenn Murray masterpiece, this home is designed for an indoor/outdoor living experience brilliantly orchestrated to provide as much privacy as possible—united visually and physically through a large multislide glass door and continuous ceilings made from reclaimed beetle kill spruce lumber. The outdoor patio is thoughtfully covered to allow warm winter sun to penetrate into the house while also providing summer shade for year-round enjoyment. The open kitchen accommodates entertainment style cooking with friends as well as being comfortable for a cup of coffee while watching the sun rise on the distant mountains. The main-level master allows for one-level living, while another two bedrooms, full bath and open office space make up the upper story. The guest house over the two-car garage (plus carport and additional spot—for a total of 4 off-street parking spaces) is even better than an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) because the main house and guest house on this 7500sf lot are officially duplexes, which means you may rent out both simultaneously. This 1 bedroom / 1 bath guest cottage is as beautiful as the main house. Carefully placed windows maximize the occupant’s natural light and mountain views while preserving privacy for the main house occupants and the neighboring homes. Hidden from the sights and sounds of College Drive, this retreat is one of Durango's most fabulous secrets.
