Our 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home was built in the early 1890s and was one of the first homes built in Durango. The home is on the Animas River and across the street from Fassbinder park and just a 5 minute walk to the heart of historic downtown Durango as well the Animas River Trail.
The historic home features a private stone path to just above the Animas River which crosses the old dirt driveway which was used to park the horse and carriage and access the home.
Updated but retains its historic charm with exposed brick, arch windows and crown molding.
The gourmet kitchen includes professional-grade cooking appliances and is fully stocked with utensils, cookware and dinner ware. Beyond the kitchen, is the den / media room, with large TV, sofa and lounge-y furniture and gas fireplace.
A basement-level utility room includes full-sized washer and dryer, and is large enough for bike, ski and other outdoor gear storage.
In town, the paved Animas River Trail, accessed by a short walk from this home, runs the entire length of town along the river, making for easy commuting to parks, restaurants, a day spa and other downtown destinations, as well providing an excellent fitness and scenery corridor. Guests can walk to the Animas River Trail with a choice of two separate paths; one is just a few doors away on the Main Avenue bridge over the river, and the other is via a suspension footbridge about a block away. .
