Description

This remarkable stone and stucco home is set in the highly desirable Rockridge area and was designed by esteemed local architect Dean Brookie. Inside, you'll find vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light throughout the main living spaces. The thoughtfully designed layout includes multiple living areas, such as a spacious great room, a generous dining area, and a sunroom. Throughout the home, you'll notice beautifully crafted built-in shelves and storage cabinetry. The kitchen has been completely remodeled with granite countertops, custom cabinets, and stainless steel appliances. Upstairs, the primary suite features ample built-in cabinetry, an oversized closet, and a private bathroom. Two additional bedrooms, each with a built-in desk area, share a full bath. On the main floor, there’s a versatile bonus room perfect for use as a game room, home office, recreation area, or theatre space. Above the garage is an expansive suite ideal for an office, craft room, guest quarters, or mother-in-law space, complete with its own 3/4 bath and kitchenette. The laundry room offers a new washer and dryer along with plentiful storage and a utility sink. The home features radiant in-floor heating and a state-of-the-art gas fireplace in the living room. Notably, the stone construction and absence of wooden decks help keep the house cool naturally during the summer. A recently converted craftsman workshop greets you as you enter the separate office/2-car garage area. Outdoors, the large and functional backyard is perfect for entertaining. It offers flagstone patios shaded by mature trees and a newly added hot tub deck with its own electric hookup. The property has been meticulously maintained with recent, professional tree work, raised gardens, rock landscaping, and an invisible fence for dogs. The inviting front porch is sheltered and gets sunlight late into the day, making it a favorite spot year-round. Rockridge is among Durango’s most sought-after neighborhoods, prized for its high-quality homes, scenic setting, and community trail. Despite its quiet, valley/mountain location that feels remote, it's conveniently close to town, with easy access to schools, the Community Recreation Center, shopping, restaurants, and outdoor amenities. Public lands are nearby—including Perins Peak State Wildlife Area—and several major trailheads such as the Colorado Trail, Dalla Mountain, Falls Creek, and Overend Mountain Park.
