Description

This spectacular American Foursquare style home offers the luxuries of modern living with plenty of historical charm. Please be sure to watch the VIDEO! Located on the highly sought after historic Third Avenue in the heart of downtown Durango this fully remodeled home offers 4,254 square feet with 5 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 3-car detached garages (2+1). The 500 square feet unfinished space above the 2-car detached garage could be easily finished and used as an ADU. Built in 1907, the historical Herr House was originally the home of Charles Herr, founder of the Durango Lumber and Milling Company, and his family. The house features Italianate roof bracketing at the eaves on both the house and porch. The large porch with a pediment roof extends across the east facade. The structure exhibits fine wood detailing. The residence was recently remodeled, offering modern living, while maintaining its historic character. The spacious front porch has an open design where owners could converse with neighbors and passers-by. MAIN FLOOR: Step inside of the home and be welcomed by the grand foyer. The sitting area on the right side opens to a fully enclosed sunroom with a wall of windows bringing the outside in. The inviting living room features a fireplace that is original, but no longer functional, and the sliding doors open to a formal dining room behind it. The TV room underwent an extensive visual transformation featuring a unique coffered ceiling and leaded glass windows. The wood fireplace with metal insert was custom made to fit the opening. The decorative mantle is constructed of solid cherry and custom-built by Lansdowe Furniture, Inc. The bookcase, entertainment center and wet bar are constructed of solid Alder and stained to match the room.Continuing down the hall, you will enter into the modern Chefs kitchen with hardwood floors, soapstone countertops with marble tile backsplash, recessed lighting, touch activated kitchen faucet, filtered instant hot water, and stainless steel appliances. The charming built-in breakfast nook offers storage underneath of the benches. Plus, there is a walk-in pantry and remodeled powder room as well. There are two sets of stairs to access the second level, one is located off of the kitchen. SECOND FLOOR: There are four bedrooms located on this level with the front two bedrooms have an adjoining door because formal homes had separate his and hers bedrooms with a womans dressing room between them. The full bathroom features all new plumbing fixtures, walk-in shower with travertine tiles, and claw tub. THIRD FLOOR: This area received the most extensive remodel. The master suite was taken down to the studs, and re-designed by SteveEccher, a local architect. The master bedroom has refinished original hardwood floors, brick wall, flue less gas fireplace, giant storage closet, and AC/heat ductless unit. The master bath includes His and Her vanities with stained cement sinks and solid crystal pendants, two walk-in closets, private water closet, toe kick heater, washer/dryer, and marble shower with steam & tub were added. LOWER LEVEL: Practical and useable with a full height ceilings, large laundry area with sink, and a utility room. The bonus room could be used as an office and a Wrapped wine cellar that was originally a coal storage room. OUTDOORS: The front yard has been enclosed with an Antique iron fence and fabricated iron fencing and gates. The entire exterior of the home including the 2-car garage was painted a year ago. The brick walkways and seating areas were added in the back of the home that creates a delightful, private outdoor living space. There is an original brick garage upgraded with concrete flooring and an automated garage door, and a detached two-car garage with 500 SF with an unfinished upstairs. The residence offers easy access to world class galleries, dining, shops, and all outdoor recreation offered in beautiful Durango!
