Historic Boulevard Living Meets Modern Design and Finishes. Located on Durango’s prestigious tree-lined thoroughfare, this residence represents a rare convergence of historic preservation and modern finishes and luxury. While the exterior maintains the timeless elegance of "The Boulevard," the interior underwent a comprehensive transformation in 2015, including updated electrical, plumbing, heating, roof, and windows (except those facing 3rd Ave that needed to remain for historic purposes). The main residence has great light and flow. Original (refinished) hardwood floors lead you through an open-concept living space punctuated by tall, historic-profile windows and lofted ceilings with skylights. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home, designed for the entertainer with high-end appliances and easy access to an incredible outdoor space. The primary suite features dual closets and a spa-like bath, while the second bedroom offers an ensuite experience complete with a beautiful claw-foot tub—a subtle nod to the home's heritage. Outside, the grounds feature perennial gardens and flagstone sitting areas, along with a large, partially covered deck. The front of the home has a wonderful, covered front porch that’s perfect for morning coffee. The detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU), built in 2015, mirrors the main home's architecture. Situated above a three-car garage (a rare downtown luxury), this two-bedroom, one-bath guest house features its own private porch and a secure, fenced lower-level patio. Located just two blocks from the fine dining, galleries, and boutiques of Main Avenue, and three blocks from the vibrant Summer Farmer’s Market, this property offers an unparalleled walk score. With nearby access to the Animas River Trail and the world-class hiking and biking that define Durango, this home isn’t just a house; it’s a place to create the very best in lifestyle and experiences.
