25 Perins Vista

Description

Perched above the Animas Valley in the desirable RockRidge neighborhood, 25 Perins Vista is a 3,474 SF classic Colorado-style home offering mountain views, privacy, and convenient access to downtown Durango. Backing directly to the Perins Peak Wildlife Preserve, the property provides the rare opportunity to step out your back door and access miles of hiking trails into thousands of acres of protected wilderness while still being just minutes from town. The main level is designed for comfortable everyday living with abundant natural light and welcoming gathering spaces. A bright morning room and office nook at the front of the home capture the sunshine, while the great room features a river rock gas fireplace and flows easily into the kitchen and dining areas. The kitchen offers a blend of character and functionality with blue-green speckled granite countertops, butcher block accents, oak cabinetry, and Saltillo tile flooring, along with high-end appliances including a GE Café induction cooktop and oven, Viking convection oven and microwave, and Jenn-Air dishwasher. A main-level laundry room adds convenience, while a new boiler provides efficient in-floor hydronic heat and PV solar panels help keep electric bills minimal. The home offers flexible living arrangements with a bedroom and full bath on the lower level, ideal for guests or multi-generational living. Upstairs, the primary suite enjoys views of Perins Peak, an updated bath with leathered quartzite counters and an oversized two-head shower with plumbing in place for a vessel tub, and generous closet space. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath featuring granite countertops, zebra wood cabinetry, and a steam shower. A standout space upstairs is the luxurious office or bonus room with vaulted ceilings and custom timber frame construction, featuring reclaimed oak barn wood flooring, mortise-and-tenon beams, and a striking live-edge white fir desk crafted from a Durango tree—an inspiring space suitable for a home office, studio, gym, bunk room, or creative retreat. Outdoor living is exceptional with mature landscaping and gardens filled with seasonal flowers, a gardening shed, fenced raised garden beds, and expansive outdoor living areas including Trex decking, poured concrete and flagstone patios with boulder accents, and a gazebo perfectly positioned to capture views of iconic Perins Peak. 6 Zone sprinkler system with options to expand. A highlight of the property is the aptly named four-car “Garage-Mahal,” featuring an extra-large 23' x 23' two-car garage bay with a 10-foot door ideal for a camper or larger vehicles, plus a 220 SF workshop with built-in workbench. The garage provides extensive storage with shelving, gear closets, and space for spare refrigerators and outdoor equipment. Additional quality features include Hurd wood-clad windows, Hardiplank siding with river rock wainscot, white fir tongue-and-groove ceilings with timber accents in the great room, and hardwood flooring in the dining area. Located just minutes from historic downtown Durango, the Animas River Trail, and countless hiking and biking opportunities, 25 Perins Vista offers a rare combination of direct wilderness access, mountain views, energy-efficient systems, and exceptional storage in one of Durango’s most convenient in-town neighborhoods.
