A CAPTIVATING MOUNTAIN RETREAT! This is a lovely 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom, 2,399 sq.ft. custom built oval log home blends gracefully into nature. THE UPPER LEVEL is for living ~ this is where you will find a completely open floor plan of kitchen, dining area and living room with its huge stone fireplace. The kitchen has elegant knotty Alder custom cabinets, beautiful slab granite countertops, accent lighting above and below the cabinets and a butcher block countertop island with open shelving above. Adjacent to the kitchen is the laundry room / pantry with a laundry sink and abundance of Alder cabinets to match those in the kitchen. Looking out into the large living room with its soaring cathedral ceilings and windows from top to bottom which bring inside all the natural light and views that make this a very special home. There are two glass doors that open to the large deck which is a perfect place for entertaining those large gatherings or to simply enjoy nature. The massive stone fireplace has an efficient built-in blower that transfers the heat into the living area as well as a vent directed to the downstairs. The main bedroom is located on this upper level with a walkin closet, a full bathroom with shower, separate tub and double sinks. One of the best features is the door from the bedroom onto the covered deck area giving it a very separate and private feel for this room. To complete the features on this level is a half bath and laminate flooring with tile in the bath & laundry rooms and in-floor heat throughout. THE LOWER LEVEL IS THE GETAWAY. This is where you will find the two secondary bedrooms, full bathroom and a separate sitting area. This would make a nice media or rec room area. A storage closet is tucked away below the staircase for all that extra gear. The flooring on this level is carpet with tile in the bathroom. This connects to the two-car garage and an extra carport area below the deck. There is an RV parking area with full hook ups. THE LOCATION. This hilltop home sits on 5.7 acres of gently sloped terrain surrounded by tall ponderosa pines which creates a scenic setting of quiet and solitude. Located in the Durango Hills subdivision, which is about 12 minutes from downtown, is a quiet neighborhood that is well suited for anyone who would like that direct access to the San Juan National Forest. Access is at the end of Silver Mesa Drive and leads out to Missionary Ridge and tens of thousands of acres of national forest. UTILITIES AND SYSTEMS.
