494 Sortais Rd, Durango, CO 81301

Privately situated in the tall pines of the Florida River Estates community, enjoy solitude and immaculate countryside without sacrificing proximity to Historic Downtown. Inside this lovely home you will find charm, comfort and amenities. The current owners have put a lot of love and recent improvement into this wonderful 2800+ SF home! Acting as a grand centerpiece to the living room, the wood burning fireplace with electric blower sits snuggly in a large rock surround w/ overhead mantle. Vaulted open beam ceilings reach up high towards the open loft room above. A large triangular window perfectly frames the cathedral ceiling and lets ample daylight into this lovely living space. Two additional double wide windows further amplify the brightness of this room and look out onto the meticulously landscaped yard beyond. Bringing increased air circulation and an additional sense of charm, a truly unique ceiling fan fixture features dual rotating antique style fans with a light element in the middle. Feel like you’re at the top of a castle tower up in the loft room above the main living area. Huge triangular windows on each side of the loft look out to the picturesque forest surrounding the home. With a built-in desk and plenty of space for more, this makes a wonderful room for craft hobby, kids play room or a home office. Further accentuating the well balanced floor plan, the dining room & kitchen are centrally located on the other side of the living room making entertaining a breeze! Recently upgraded in 2010, the kitchen features new custom cabinetry, polished silestone counter tops and new stainless steel appliances. Other great features include soft close drawers, 3 lazy Susan’s, a blind corner multi-pullout, veggie storage & pullout trash storage. A beautiful 12 globe glass chandelier hangs above the dining room brining instant sophistication to the space. Built-in floor to ceiling mirrors on one of the walls makes the space feel twice as big. Sliding glass doors lead out to a large deck patio expanding your entertainment area. Complete with a historic horse pulled wagon from 1904 and a fire pit area with benches, friends & family will never want to leave! Sunlight floods through the hallway skylight (one of several in the home) and provides a nice lighting element throughout the day. From the hallway you will find a spacious laundry room with lots of built-in cabinets, another bedroom with skylight & walk-in closet, and a conveniently located powder room with pedestal sink & medicine cabinet. The end of the hallway opens up to a cavernous great room/bonus/workshop with wet bar, tons of power outlets (110 & 220 volt) and a separate gas furnace. There are so many possibilities for this expansive space! For the quintessential workshop, many of the power outlets are table high - perfect for workbenches and machinery. For a media room, it’s wired for satellite and ready for your theater system. You could split the space up or turn it into a large guest suite - it wouldn’t be difficult to create a 4th bedroom either. There’s an extra room in the corner of the bonus room with lots of possible uses plus a huge walk-in storage room with built-in shelving. An additional coat closet is conveniently located adjacent to the garage entrance. Whether it’s large furniture or big shop equipment, a paved ramp provides convenient load-in & load-out through the double doors leading to the 2 car garage. This ramp is also a great handicap accessible feature! Privately situated on the other side of the home you find the master bedroom, additional 3rd bedroom and a full bathroom with dual vanity. The master includes a spacious walk-in closet and a private covered patio. Immaculate landscaping surrounds this lovely home creating a park-like setting and includes a drip irrigation system, rose garden & plenty of low maintenance perennial plants & flowers throughout. RV parking is just around the corner and has a nice gravel walkway to the house
