908 Leyden St Durango, CO 81301

Ideally situated in a quiet cul-de-sac, steps from a trailhead and nearly surrounded by open space, this amazing west-side home is as beautiful inside as the lush greenery framing the outside. The thoughtful layout seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor spaces, taking wonderful advantage of the endless acres of public land bordering this in-town property. The spacious kitchen is chef-ready with Bosch appliances, granite counters, an island with barstools for your helpers, a breakfast nook and a cozy gas fireplace. The living area has gorgeous bamboo floors, attractive wood built-ins, and like the rest of the house, solid wood doors. The dining room leads to a slate-floored covered porch overlooking lush mature landscaping. A second gas fireplace anchors the living room, which leads to a large deck in your own private paradise, where manicured gardens contrast with the wild openness beyond. A half level up is home to a tranquil, generous primary suite with views of Hogsback Mountain, as well as another two bedrooms, a second full bathroom, and a bright laundry room. In the finished basement we have a family room, a fourth (nonconforming) bedroom, bonus/gym room, a 3/4 bathroom, and, a few steps up, the deep two-car garage with another bonus room (extra pantry, craft space, wine cellar?) and an area for a workshop or more storage––although with a large walk-in storage space under the primary bedroom, you may not need it. The garage is conveniently accessible from both the basement and the main living level. A built-in speaker system adds musical ambience inside the home and out, solar panels create all of the electricity, and a concrete pad on the west side of this large city lot provides parking for a camper, RV, boat, or any other extra vehicle you may have. The roof was replaced in 2018. The location of this property—within walking or biking distance to downtown and all levels of schools, on a quiet road just feet from trails—combined with all of its other amenities, make this home a truly rare Durango find.
