Location, Location!! River and Scenic Train.... Short or Long Term Rental Income for Second Home Investment. Vacation Rental Zoned. This custom-built duplex, completed in 2015, is located within the Durango City Limits right along the Animas River. This property is situated just above the Oxbow Park & Preserve for premiere wildlife viewing and river access. The attention to detail this duplex offers from the landscaping to the modern interior finishes are equivalent to the quiet, unparalleled beauty of the surrounding nature and unique location of the property itself. The duplex 712 being the top unit and 724 being the lower unit, extends the views to be captured by both residences alike, giving no visual preference to either home. The nine-foot-high ceilings with 8 feet high window tops accentuate this view of the Animas River and Valley floor. Both residences have nearly identical floor plans which boast twin master bedroom suites as each bedroom has its own walk in closet and luxury en-suite bathroom featuring an over-sized walk in shower with tiled shower surroundings and granite vanity countertops. The entertainment style living and chef’s kitchen area offers a breakfast bar, dining room table space and office area which opens up to additional living space around the built-in gas fireplace. The cherry cabinets in the kitchen offer soft-close hinges and drawers, slide-out trays in lower cabinets and the accent cabinets at the ends of the kitchen peninsulas are maple. Through the kitchen in each unit, there is a separate laundry room, additional pantry space, or butler’s pantry if you will. The washer and dryer, both upstairs and down are included in the purchase, sit in a 2" deep well with a drain in case of a burst hose. There are 2 walkout decks in the upstairs residence and a walkout patio space for the downstairs home with phantom “disappearing” screens on the entry doors and rear sliding glass doors. In addition, each residence has a 22’ wide x 24’ long garage each with a huge shelf above for even more storage. Located beneath the garages and breezeway are 2 huge walk-out bonus areas. The south area is 28’ x 22’ (616sf) with 3 big windows and an exterior door; while the north area is 24’ x 22’ (528sf) with 2 big windows, an exterior door plus an overhead garage type door, 8’w x 8’h. Each area has its own 100 Amp electrical sub-panel and the drain and vent piping is in place for each to have a separate bathroom. Leave it up to your own imagination for how to develop these 2 incredible spaces. This house has established landscaping with a great street-side berm created with stones from the old Durango courthouse, which was demolished in the 60’s. Over 20 rapidly growing aspen trees, all with multiple trunks surround the buildings. An Autumn Blaze Maple tree planted about 10 years ago is ready once again to show off its gorgeous red leaves this fall. The attention to detail this residence offers is a must-see.
