78 Bridlewood Ln Durango, CO 81303

A truly amazing home with spectacular wide open views of the La Platas. Mountain design with post and beam construction. This home is a masterpiece of all cedar wood and design with construction detail that has stood the test of time in this high country. The windows highlight the spectacular views and privacy. The decks are redwood and are accessed from the kitchen, the office and through the breezeway (a special feature that has been very useful for outdoor entertainment). There is another private deck with french door access from the master bedroom, complete with a hot tub (which is included). Another stone patio on the front (south side) of the home is covered, and provides shelter from a storm while still enjoying the outdoors. The home exterior incorporates landscaping, rock, and planting for ultimate privacy, and to take full advantage of the views. There are 3 bedrooms and 3 baths plus a private office. All flooring in the main living area is engineered wood floating floor system. The great room is definitely GREAT, with drop dead gorgeous mountain views, two siting areas (or one of the sitting areas can be used for formal dining). The floor to ceiling stone fireplace is a complement to the open beam construction. The fireplace itself is a Rumsford, one of the best brands for efficient draw. This home comes with a central vacuum system. The Kitchen is designed for the gourmet, as well as comfortable visiting with family and guests. Custom built solid wood pine cabinets, and a full pantry with shelves and cabinets provide excellent storage. The informal dining area is accented by an original 1890’s cast iron, nickel-plated wood stove. It is refurbished, and functional (the Seller actually said it is one of his most favorite parts of the kitchen). Saltillo tile is used throughout the entry foyer, hall, kitchen, master bath, laundry and guest bath. Oversized two car garage with workshop area is attached to the main home by a breezeway. The absolute BEST part of this property is the detached workshop/barn featuring 10 foot double doors that can be extended even higher. It is the perfect storage for an RV travel trailer, boat and working on autos, projects, etc. And as per HOA rules, you can have 2 horses on the 5.9 AC.
