Welcome to 1001 East 4th Avenue, a beautifully preserved Victorian home in Durango’s historic district. Built in 1910, this distinctive residence retains an exceptional collection of period details, including hardwood floors, doors, windows, picture rails, moldings, fixtures, and classic radiators, while thoughtful improvements complement its historic appeal.

The updated kitchen offers generous workspace and storage, opening to a charming breakfast area that leads into the spacious mudroom and backyard. A bathroom that includes a washer and dryer completes this part of the main level. Two bedrooms are also located on this floor, along with a second bathroom.

A covered pergola with an outdoor fireplace extends the living space into the backyard, while a custom metal fence adds a distinctive finishing touch. The detached two-car garage, built in 2014, features 8-foot doors and architectural detailing designed to complement the home. A new boiler system was installed in 2019, providing an important modern improvement while maintaining the traditional hot-water radiator system.
