Property Description

Historic character meets thoughtful, top-to-bottom renovation in Durango’s coveted Library District. Tucked quietly along the quieter side of E 2nd Avenue, this beautifully restored 1939 home offers the best of downtown living without the bustle. The Animas River and River Trail are less than 900 feet away, making it quick and easy to navigate to the river, trails, downtown, and all that this special neighborhood has to offer. Completely gutted and comprehensively updated, the home offers the peace of mind of having the hard work done—including unknown construction costs and challenging permitting. Nearly every major system and finish has been renewed: windows, roof, siding, mechanicals, plumbing, electrical, kitchen, baths, and window treatments. Modern comfort includes both air conditioning and in-floor heat. The original wood floors were painstakingly restored to a gorgeous finish, completely the nod to this home's historic place in the neighborhood. Large windows fill the home with natural light and offer pleasant views, while durable stucco and metal roofing provide a low-maintenance exterior. The flexible floor plan offers the rare possibility of two primary suites. The traditional but spacious main-level primary suite features a walk-in closet, large glass-enclosed shower, and double vanity. Upstairs, a spacious loft/flex area leads to an oversized bedroom with its own private bath—ideal as a second primary suite, guest retreat, office, or creative space to spread out. An additional bedroom and half bath are also located on the main level, along with two separate living areas that give family and friends room to spread out. The completely renovated chef’s kitchen features thoughtfully designed custom cabinetry and opens naturally to the living spaces. The large, sunny lot includes a single-car garage accessed from the alley. The basement houses the all-new mechanical systems, including a radon mitigation system, while providing abundant additional storage and plenty of head room for a workshop or hobby space. Surrounded by expensive remodels, this home offers a truly rare opportunity to own a virtually new home with the soul of a historic property, in one of downtown Durango’s most special, expensive and peaceful neighborhoods.
