419 E 12th STREET
Colorado, La Plata County, Durango
419 E 12th STREET Perhaps one of the very best locations in downtown Durango and the first time to market. This location offers a lifestyle most dream about: within walking distance to restaurants, cafés, business, parks, bike trails access and a quick 27mile drive to Purgatory ski resort. This incredible home offers an opportunity to live the dream. In a modern nod to craftsman style, this 3 BR/2.5 BA home built in 2005 perfectly melds elegance and comfort. No detail has been overlooked in this 3-level masterpiece. Enter on the main level to an open concept floor plan with stained poured concrete flooring throughout. The stunning chef ’s kitchen features an oversized butcher’s block center island with seating for two and the custom Quarter Sawn Oak cabinetry is topped with Verde Waterfall granite slab countertops. Many of the upper Oak cabinets are inlaid with frosted glass adding a light and bright feel. The Sub Zero refrigerator and raised height Bosch dishwasher are encased in matching cabinetry. Additionally, the kitchen features a Dacor 6-burner gas stovetop, Dacor wall oven and a built-in Sharp microwave. The backsplash is a playful glass mosaic tile. The pantry features pull out drawers and the recessed and pendant lighting magnify the soothing ambience. The dining room area features pendant and recessed lighting as well, and sliding glass doors to the large wrap-around Trex deck bring the outside in. Living Room views through the craftsman style mullioned windows hint at the magical garden beyond. The gas fireplace has glass tile and an oak surround plus a hidden cabinet to house components for stereo/TV. The halogen track lighting highlights art and photography. A powder room with black granite vanity and Closets Plus custom closet are also on main level. The beautiful carpeted staircase leads to a devoted upper level master suite. The large loft at the top of the stairs is ideal as an office or exercise room with doors to an upper deck overlooking the back gardens. Master bedroom highlights include unique his and hers custom closets, vaulted ceiling with wood beam and fan, many casement windows and a full size Bosch washer and dryer. The master bath features a large steam shower, a clawfoot tub, Oak cabinetry, and Verde Waterfall granite slab dual vanity. The lower level features stained poured concrete flooring, a large den/family room, 2 additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. The 2+ car garage is oversized. 5-zone in-floor radiant heat efficiently heats the entire home. Solar panels cover much of LPEA expense (9 out of 12 months last year). The professionally landscaped, irrigated back yard/tiered garden must be seen to be believed. Take in the beauty of the gardens from the hot tub on the back deck or view the sunset over Smelter and Perins Peak from the terraced seating area above.
