What's special
Single-level living with all the right upgrades and none of the hassle! Lovingly enjoyed as a vacation retreat for the past seven years, this charming home has been lightly lived in for only half the year and meticulously maintained throughout. Recent improvements include central air conditioning installed by Fahrenheit Enterprises (2020), an ecobee premium smart thermostat, fresh interior paint, new interior doors, beautiful engineered wood flooring installed by Quality House Interiors (2020), Hunter Douglas window coverings throughout, a Simply Safe alarm system including 3 cameras and 2 keypads, convenient Schlage keypad locks and a freshly painted fully fenced back yard for your fur-babies! Whether you're seeking a full-time residence or the perfect mountain getaway, this adorable 3/2 home makes an ideal Durango home base. Welcome to serious curb appeal with a cute covered porch that's practically begging for rocking chairs and neighborly chats. Inside, the kitchen's countertop bar is the perfect spot for morning coffee or homework sessions. The sizeable primary suite offers a relaxing retreat complete with dual vanities, so there's no more battling for sink space during the morning rush. Add in a spacious 2-car garage and a friendly neighborhood where waves and hellos come standard, and you've got a home that's equal parts practical, comfortable, and downright lovable. Located just 10 minutes from historic downtown Durango and steps from miles of hiking and mountain biking trails, adventure is always within reach and close enough that you can still make it home for dinner. Nestled in the vibrant Three Springs community, you'll enjoy easy access to Mercy Hospital, a new primary school coming soon, and an active, welcoming neighborhood atmosphere. From summer concerts and outdoor recreation to friendly neighbors and scenic surroundings, Three Springs is a community you can be proud to call home!
