Surrounded by mature oak trees and Ponderosa pines with views of Silver Mountain and the surrounding hillsides, this beautifully renovated Rockridge residence captures the feeling of living among the treetops while offering the comfort, quality, and lifestyle that make in-town Durango living so desirable. Offering 2,131 square feet of air-conditioned living space, this move-in-ready home combines privacy, natural beauty, and modern convenience in one of Durango's most sought-after neighborhoods. A welcoming covered front porch and easy-entry design lead into a home that has been meticulously maintained and enhanced with significant recent improvements, including a brand-new whole-house HVAC system with central air conditioning, fresh interior paint, new downstairs carpet, a renovated redwood deck, fresh garage paint, a new Maytag washer and dryer, Hunter Douglas cellular shades, ClearView retractable patio door screens, and an automated window blind in the stairwell. Step inside and you'll immediately notice the vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, hardwood maple floors, and expansive windows that frame green views in every direction. The dining area opens directly to the expansive Trex deck, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow for morning coffee, outdoor dining, and entertaining. From there, the floor plan flows into the generous kitchen, where a spacious granite island, abundant counter space, bar seating, a five-burner GE gas range, GE refrigerator, and Whirlpool dishwasher create a functional and inviting gathering space. A large window above the sink frames beautiful views of the verdant hillside across the canyon, bringing the surrounding landscape into the heart of the home. The living room is anchored by soaring vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and a floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace, while an additional set of glass doors opens to the deck, extending the living space into the surrounding landscape. From this elevated outdoor setting, enjoy views of Silver Mountain, the surrounding green landscapes, the riparian corridor below, and the expansive half-acre property while dog walkers and joggers pass along the neighborhood trail just beyond the split rail fence. Whether starting the day with coffee as the morning sun illuminates the landscape or gathering with friends as alpenglow glides across Silver Mountain, the deck offers a front-row seat to the natural beauty that makes Rockridge so special. The spacious primary suite offers two closets, dual vanities, and direct access to a freshly updated redwood deck. Two additional bedrooms each feature dual closets, while the lower level also includes a full bathroom with dual sinks, built-in hallway storage, a dedicated laundry room, and additional storage beneath the stairs. The immaculate attached two-car garage provides exceptional space for vehicles, bikes, outdoor gear, a home gym, and storage. Beyond the home itself, residents enjoy access to Rockridge's neighborhood trail system, nearby Perins Peak State Wildlife Area, and Durango's extensive network of hiking and mountain biking trails. The tranquility of the setting feels worlds away, yet historic downtown Durango, schools, restaurants, cafés, breweries, wineries, and shopping are all just minutes from your doorstep.
