76 Hillside Drive, Bayfield, CO 81122

Back on Market due to Buyer not being able to qualify for their loan. Set on a full acre surrounded by tall pines on a quiet street this home features an open, airy, well laid out floorpan with tons of natural light. French doors lead to a roomy main bedroom with private full bath and double closets. It is separated from the other two bedrooms (which are adjacent to another full bathroom) by the great room. The great room has vaulted ceilings and an efficient wood burning stove for cozy winter evenings. The spacious kitchen offers lots of counter and work space, a prep island, breakfast nook, and tons of cabinet storage. It is separated just enough from the living area and dining area to contain any messes but open enough to where you will still feel like part of the gatherings while preparing. There is easy access to the backyard through the dining area sliding glass doors making BBQ-ing convenient too. Just off of the kitchen is a laundry room with it's own entrance. It's perfect for unloading dirty or muddy things that you don't want to go through the home. As a bonus, the nearly new washer and dryer are included. Also adjacent to the kitchen and main bedroom, is a 4th room that would make a great home office, flex space or could be used as an additional bedroom. Recent upgrades include a new water heater, concrete steps (vs wood) to the front patio, and a rock retaining wall with lush grassy area for pets or kids to play. (paint and carpet were done less than 2 years ago). Now about the neighborhood: Forest Lakes Subdivision is conveniently located 7 miles north of Bayfield and about 20 miles from Durango and set in a gorgeous pine forest with a lush valley at the base. It offers many amenities to owners like access to private Lake Simpatico with canoeing, paddle boarding and fishing, a well equipped play ground, basketball court and scenic covered picnic benches. Best of all there is no HOA but rather a Metro District that provides water, sewer, trash, road maintenance, snow removal and mail box. (Seller pays $131.65 a month for all of that as long as he doesn't use more than 3K gallons of water). No well or septic tank needed! Outdoor enthusiasts will love that the Weminuche Wilderness, Lemon Reservoir, and Vallecito Lake are nearby too. Home is pre-inspected and ILC is available. Owner needs to move ASAP- thus property is priced to sell quickly as-is. This is a great value for under $350,000!
