669 E 3rd Ave, Durango, CO 81301

Enjoy the perks of living mere steps from Downtown Durango's surplus of restaurants, galleries and entertainment venues. Character and history abound in the iconic, immaculately maintained Clark-Hatfield East 3rd Avenue home. Built in 1906 by Scottish stone mason and original owner David Ramsey, the quality and craftsmanship of this home is true to its time. Ramsey completed the home in 1907 after "practicing" the craft of hand-chiseling stone with a mallet on the home next door. The Dutch Colonial Revival style is evident to this day as seen by the gambrel roof, triple window gable face and porch under eaves. While the original character of the home remains, it has been beautifully maintained and updated to cater to the needs of modern living. Enter the 2583 square foot home to the finished front porch, beaming with an abundance of morning sunlight - the ideal location for your morning coffee or curling up with a book. The main level of the home features a spacious living room equipped with gas fireplace, original hardwood floors and plenty of room for entertaining. Overlooking the living room you'll find the dining room, opened to the remodeled kitchen, with high-end finishes including stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a kitchen bar and custom crafted storage spaces and cabinetry. Throughout the home elegant and artistic light features add modern flare. Just off the kitchen resides a remodeled half bath and back entryway, the perfect landing spot to remove boots and drop off groceries. All three bedrooms are located on the upper level, each with original hardwood flooring and an abundance of closet space, finished with original built-in shelving and dressers. The recently upgraded master suite features a brand new bathroom, walk in closet and side by side closet. An elegantly remodeled 3/4 bath conveniently serves the other two spacious bedrooms. Each bedroom is graced with oversized windows that allow an abundance of natural light to filter through the second floor. Enjoy views to the east of Raiders Ridge and to the west of Hogs Back and Perins Peak. Large attic space available. Head back downstairs to the below grade level of the home to find another full bath complete with claw-foot tub, a flex space room (currently used as a non conforming 4th bedroom, or perhaps a playroom or office?), wine cellar, laundry room and large storage area with built-in shelving. Outdoor living is whimsical on the back patio with mature, lush gardens and paved dining area, kept private in the fully fenced yard. Alley access and the option for off street parking is a functional plus for this downtown property. There is currently a one car garage with room to grow, and per the City of Durango the addition of an accessory dwelling unit should be allowed as the lot size is large enough. This property is an extraordinary value in a neighborhood that has only gone up over the years... dont miss your opportunity to enjoy Downtown Durango living at its best!
