Welcome to this beautifully restored 1885 historic home on the iconic 3rd Avenue in Durango, Colorado. This home has been thoughtfully renovated to blend modern conveniences with its original character, creating a timeless and elegant living space. Situated just blocks from downtown, it offers acces...s to Durangoâ??s vibrant nightlife, restaurants, shops, and attractions. The home has been completely reimagined, with a full remodel that included an addition and extensive updates while preserving its architectural charm. A primary suite and powder room have been seamlessly incorporated into the design, and all major systemsâ??including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, insulation, and sheetrockâ??have been completely redone. Additionally, a full set of approved plans for an ADU, sanctioned by both the Historic Board and the City of Durango, are available with the home. The exterior features an new roof on both the main house and garage, lush landscaping with new sod, plants, a sprinkler system, and stone pavers. A wrought iron fence lines the front and right side of the home, while a privacy fence encloses the rear and left side. The large corner lot offers ample space, and exterior additions such as a Ring doorbell, hot/cold exterior faucet, and two gas valves for easy connections for a BBQ, fire pit, or hot tub. Inside, every electrical component has been upgraded, from wiring and breaker boxes to recessed can lighting and custom fixtures. The plumbing system has been updated, along with the addition of a high-efficiency HVAC system with an Aprilaire 800 humidifier, a REEM Electric Marathon Water Heater, a ductless climate control in the primary bedroom, and Wi-Fi-enabled thermostats. The entire home has been stripped down to the studs and rebuilt with fresh sheetrock, custom millwork, and reclaimed wood accents. New wood floors flow throughout, complemented by restored original details, including intricate trim, a sliding door to the kitchen, the grand staircase, and transom windows above the front and side doors. Double-pane windows provide energy efficiency. The primary suite addition features vaulted ceilings with wood beams, hardwood floors, two walk-in closets, electric fireplace, custom shades, and a sliding glass door leading to a private patio. The elegant primary bathroom includes custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, brushed bronze Brizo faucets, and heated floors, all illuminated by under-cabinet lighting. The powder bathroom is a showpiece with an exotic granite slab sink, beadboard detailing, and under-cabinet lighting. The secondary bathroom contains custom built-ins with glass doors, brushed bronze faucets, intricate tile work, and heated floors. The heart of the home is the inviting living and dining area with custom built-in bookcases, an electric fireplace, exquisite lighting and new wood floors to create a warm atmosphere. The kitchen is a chefâ??s dream with custom-built cabinetry and top-of-the-line appliances, including a built-in Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, GE Café dual-fuel range, drawer microwave, and dishwasher, a Kohler porcelain farm sink with a reverse osmosis system, quartz countertops and a custom range hood. A hidden gem is the wine cellar accessed through a custom arched wood door and a spiral staircase. It features cork flooring, custom lighting, and reclaimed wood finishes. This is not part of the listed square footage. The laundry area has built-in pantry storage, quartz countertops, and a Maytag washer and dryer along with built-in mud area. Upstairs, the secondary bedrooms continue the homeâ??s design with new wood floors, recessed lighting, and custom-built cabinetry. The garage has new doors, fresh exterior paint, and Wi-Fi-enabled door openers. This historic home on Durangoâ??s famed 3rd Avenue is a true masterpiece. With its prime location, extensive updates, and available ADU plans, it presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Durangoâ??s rich history while enjoying the luxuries of modern living.
