Description

Elegant 1896 Queen Anne Victorian in Historic East Third Avenue. Located in the heart of Durango’s most desirable neighborhood, this stunning home has been thoughtfully reimagined through a high-end modern remodel by renowned custom builders, The Krueger Group. Set on a private, .59-acre lot with mountain and town views, this property blends timeless historic charm with exceptional craftsmanship and contemporary design. A curved front veranda, structural Victorian columns, and beautiful period details make a striking first impression. Inside, the home opens to a bright, flowing layout where historic character meets modern luxury. The chef’s kitchen is a showpiece, featuring quartz countertops, GE Profile appliances, a wine fridge, and a spacious walk-in pantry. Ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, the main level also offers a cozy den, living room with bay window, and gas fireplace with faux logs and a formal dining room. The main-level primary suite is a serene retreat with radiant in-floor heating in the spa-like ensuite bath with Steamist shower, whirlpool tub, and dual vanities. The home is thoughtfully climate-controlled, with gas forced-air heat and electric A/C on the main floor, and radiant heating throughout the upper guest suite and finished lower level. Upstairs, a charming guest room or office enjoys elevated mountain views and natural light. The finished lower level includes two additional bedrooms, a beautifully updated 3/4 bath, and a spacious media or family room—perfect for relaxation, guests, or remote work. Step outside to a terraced and fully fenced backyard designed for year-round enjoyment. A spacious patio, wildflower garden, fire pit, and rooftop deck offer ideal spaces for gathering or quiet retreat. Practical upgrades include a snow-melt system for the front steps, the uncovered porch and patio. Also included is a separate studio shed for hobbies or storage, and Sonos sound system with outdoor speaker. Additional features include a detached two-car garage with entrance to the basement level, a garden/hobby shed, and generous off-street parking. Every detail of this remodel was curated with quality, longevity, and comfort in mind. This is a rare opportunity to own one of Durango’s iconic homes in the historic East Third Avenue corridor, just a short walk to downtown, the river trail, and neighborhood parks.
