Welcome to 163 Crystal Lane! This exceptional home is located in the gorgeous falls creek valley just beyond Turtle Lake above the Animas River Valley, only minutes from downtown Durango and the Colorado Trail Trailhead. Framed by red cliffs and stunning majestic views, this 4 bedroom, 3 bath home is perfectly situated above two acres of pastoral land that is ideal for 1-2 horses. The home was completely renovated and reconstructed in 2012, including new drainage and grading with drainage gutters, and in 2021 and 2022 a new roof, siding, exterior and interior paint and a water filtration system was added. As you enter the home, you are greeted by the open living and dining areas with sliding glass door access to the expansive wrap-around covered deck to enjoy the picturesque views that surround the property. The main-level kitchen offers granite counters, a five-burner Kenmore Elite gas range, Bosch microwave, stainless steel appliances, a wine refrigerator and custom wine rack, raised breakfast bar with custom pendant lighting and a pantry that encircles the refrigerator. There are two bedrooms and full bathroom, laundry area and mudroom conveniently located on this level. On the upper level you will find the spacious primary suite retreat with sliding door private deck access where you can enjoy your morning cup of coffee, take in the expansive views, or relax after a long day. The primary bath features large windows for an abundance of natural light and views of the incredible Animas Mountain cliffs, a double sink vanity with ample storage and a separate sitting area, an oversized shower, soaking tub, and sizeable walk-in closet. The lower level of the home includes a media room area for entertaining family and friends with a separate room that can be used as an office or workout area. There is an additional bedroom and full bathroom with a separate exterior entrance for the ideal guest suite. There are also multiple large storage closets perfect for keeping things nicely organized. The oversized two-car garage offers ample storage and workspace, with a separate workshop/storage space just across the parking area from the garage. To complement the natural picturesque scenery, the property has been wonderfully landscaped with stacked stone and boulders, beautiful wildflower beds, and other flowering plants and fruit trees. This especially private location with the open space that surrounds the property has proven to be a successful short-term vacation rental offering the perfect getaway for guests. This special property and location is a must see!
