DIANE PURDY, KELLER WILLIAMS REALTY SOUTHWEST ASSOCIATES, Home: (970) 259-7777, diane@dianepurdy.com, http://dianepurdy.com/: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. Library and Fish Hatchery and The River Trail are your neighbors. Originally built in 1883 and remodeled with turn-of-the-century charm and luxury finish. **Leaded glass bookcase doors surround the crowned, granite-faced fireplace in the great room. Beautiful windows let in lots of light and frame the view of College Hill on the other side of the Animas River. There is in-floor hydronic heat in this room and in the kitchen. Spacious granite counters outline the kitchen of stainless appliances (five burner, double-oven range & solid front dishwasher as well as lighted ice & water on the refrigerator) and plentiful, crowned bead-board Birch cabinetry, including more leaded glass doors and two turntable cabinets. Breakfast bar and pantry, too. Living room and dining room walls are 9' lath and plaster with drop crystal chandelier, picture rail and a pair of period sconces. Original hardwood floors shine, period trim abounds and the French doors are locked with a skeleton key. There are two bedrooms with hardwood floors on this level and a large full bath with oversized jet tub and separate shower. There is a cedar-lined walk-in closet in one of these bedrooms and an original glass paned door with transom to the other. Period light fixtures accent many of the rooms and extensive lighting in the bathrooms. **Upstairs is the spacious light filled master suite which boasts His & Hers walk-in closets, an office/sitting/workout room, extra plush carpeting and a sumptuous bath. Tile and granite grace the steam shower, wainscoting, double vanity top, jetted tub surround as well as toilet and bidet area. Bathroom has in-floor electric heat. Walk out onto the upper deck available for your private use with a peek-a-boo of the Animas River. Bird watchers will revel in the Great Blue Herons, Kingfishers, Bald and Golden Eagles, Great Horned Owls, and more, that frequent this area. **The exterior of the house is a mixture of Hardiplank and stucco finish for extremely low maintenance enjoyment. **Outside, the front yard is xeroscaping sculpted of river rock with a dry streambed, and a few flower beds; two of which skirt the bases of the Blaze Autumn Maple trees. The concrete driveway leads to the one car garage. Looking to the east of the lot from the garage is the 11 x 14 storage building with clerestory windows. Two full dress motorcycles will fit here, or lots of rafting equipment, or probably whatever toys YOU choose. :-). At the back of the lot is the "ruin." Originally the lower level of the Carriage House, there is a trex deck installed. Possible uses might be for a hottub, a greenhouse, or hmmm... There is a pear tree, an apricot tree and a couple apple trees, a few pink honeysuckle bushes, lilacs in multiple colors, wild yellow roses, and a majestic Douglas Fir.
