MOUNTAIN MODERN

The rural neighborhood in which Durango Valley View resides is reached via paved roads and is accessible year-round.  Outdoor parking for multiple vehicles is located on the flat, gravel driveway next to the home.  There is a neighboring home to the south, however, nearby homes are located further away across the road offering a reasonable level of privacy in this easy-to-reach residence.

Enjoyment of Durango Valley View begins when entering the front door, into the open floor plan living room, dining room and kitchen.  Comfort and convenience in the living room includes a large screen smart TV with cable service, plus a gas fireplace.

The ground-level main floor also features the second bedroom, with queen size bed, a 40” Roku TV with streaming service and access to the backyard patio.  A full bath can be found between the living room and bedroom, and the laundry room with full-size washer and dryer is located off this hallway nearby.

It also features a sleek office desk for those working on the road.  Just off the den is a covered deck, with beautiful views of the red cliffs on the opposite side of the valley and expansive views to the north and south.
