John Mace, R1 Colorado, C: 970-648-4149, mace@yourdurangorealestate.com, www.crenmls.com: This is a rare opportunity to own THE front row seat to the heartbeat of downtown Durango. Meticulously cared for by the sole owners, this elegant condo is available for the first time since its initial construction. This corner unit is 1 of only 3 residential units in the exquisite Stilwell building and located across the street from the historic Strater Hotel. Direct ground level access puts you steps away from all the downtown amenities, dining, entertainment and lifestyle of Main Avenue, Durango. If you re looking for the convenience of a turn key, low maintenance, lock and leave condo in the middle of all the action, this is it!The interior features hardwood floors, recessed LED lighting, high ceilings, and windows throughout that bring in an abundance of natural light. The main floor features a living area that is equally accommodating for hosting a party or a nice dinner in. While the food is cooking, enjoy endless people watching on Main Avenue and breathtaking views of the sun setting over the La Plata mountains. Speaking of cooking, the kitchen is a chef s delight. Serve up a feast with the 6 burner Wolf stove and serve it on the expansive granite countertops, set against imported French brick walls. The primary bedroom is located on the main floor, complete with a private patio, ample walk in closet, and a 5 piece bathroom with a jetted tub and double vanity.Upstairs, there are two additional bedrooms located at the far side of the unit, each featuring closets with built ins. There are two ¾ bathrooms as well, a large one situated to accommodate the bedrooms and the fourth that was added in 2017 to compliment the balcony, which is accessed through the fourth room. That room is currently used as a 4th bedroom and could be used as an office or converted into an entertaining space with wet bar to enhance what the incredible 800 sqft balcony offers. And does it offer! The views are even better from 2nd floor balcony, as the benefits of the corner unit become more apparent. Three different viewing angles display some of the best perspectives of Main Avenue action you can get, while simultaneously offering a wide open vista of Hogsback Mountain, Perin s Peak and the La Plata Mountains. The gas fireplace insert adds ambiance to the setting, and there is brand new Swisstrax over a new flooring membrane.Other amenities include forced heat and AC, 1 deeded parking space in addition to a tall, attached 1 car garage with room to store your gear, toys, and accessories that benefit a Durango basecamp lifestyle.
