Description

Set on a private 1.36-acre homesite, this exceptional custom residence by award-winning Kogan Builders represents the pinnacle of refined mountain living where timeless craftsmanship meets modern sophistication. Offering a total of four covered parking spaces, the property features an oversized two-car garage complemented by a fully enclosed RV parking bay with 30-amp service, designed to accommodate two additional vehicles in tandem. Spanning 3,481 square feet, the home offers 3 bedrooms, a dedicated office, and a separate media room, all of which can easily serve as additional bedrooms, along with a versatile loft and 2.5 bathrooms. The open concept design is highlighted by cathedral ceilings, exposed decorative beams, and expansive Andersen windows that fill the home with natural light. Hand-scraped hickory hardwood flooring, custom alder trim, and solid-core doors reflect a level of craftsmanship evident throughout. The great room seamlessly connects the kitchen and dining areas, while sliding glass doors extend the living space to both the front covered deck and the rear patio, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen is both elegant and functional, featuring quartz countertops, custom cherry cabinetry with soft-close drawers, Jenn-Air and GE appliances, a natural gas range, and a Bosch drawer microwave. Privately positioned on the main level, the primary suite offers a tranquil retreat with a vaulted ceiling, an expansive walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath complete with dual vanities, alder cabinetry, a walk-in shower, and a freestanding soaking tub. A powder room and a well-designed laundry/mudroom with an included LG washer and dryer complete the main level. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms are connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, complemented by a loft currently used as a gym, a dedicated office, and a separate media room, both of which offer flexibility to function as additional bedrooms, guest space, or work and recreation areas. This residence is equally distinguished by its advanced infrastructure and thoughtful upgrades, including dual furnaces with three climate zones, A/C installed for the upper level with the main level prepped and ready, a 75-gallon water heater with recirculating hot water, and integrated smart home features. The home is fully wired with Cat6 for high-speed connectivity, and a dedicated home theater is in place, with equipment available for purchase separately. The outdoor environment is curated with the same attention to detail, featuring professionally designed landscaping with dual rock retaining walls, flagstone and paver walkways, a tranquil pond with cascading waterfall, and a fully automated irrigation system. The rear patio is designed for elevated outdoor living, complete with a gas fire pit, natural gas connections for grilling, an 8 x 10 storage tuff shed, and a 50-amp service ready for a hot tub. This is a rare opportunity to experience a home where design, setting, and functionality align, offering privacy, quality construction, and a highly livable layout just minutes from all that Durango has to offer.
