The Valley Victorian

The Valley Victorian The best of Durango will be at your fingertips in this Victorian home, a beautifully updated historic property with a private deck and porch, upstairs air-conditioner, carpet, and an outstanding location close to hiking trails, a beloved local bike path, and the banks of the Animas River. This two-level home sits just two miles north of downtown Durango, which you can easily reach on the Animas River bike path only three blocks away. You’ll be only one block from Main Avenue, three blocks from Memorial Park on the riverfront, four blocks from the Animas Mountain Trailhead, and 25 miles south of the ski slopes of Purgatory Resort, where you’ll have 94 trails, five terrain parks, and an always-entertaining tubing hill to choose from. Head 20 miles east to go boating, fishing, or cross-country skiing at Vallecito Lake, or take an unforgettable trip back through time in the incredible cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde National Park, just 37 miles west. Whether vacationing with your family or enjoying a couples’ getaway, the thoughtful furnishings, high ceilings, and bright rooms will make you feel at home. Recuperate from an invigorating morning hike by reading the newspaper on the leather sofa, using the WiFi to post a few photos, and watching your favorite cable shows on the TV. Prepare homemade pancakes and scrambled eggs in the full kitchen, a welcoming space that blends charming country decor with sleek stainless steel appliances. Throw some strawberries and bananas in the blender, sip a cup of coffee in the breakfast nook, and set the dining room table for breakfast in the light of the south-facing window. Stack the plates in the dishwasher for easy cleanup, and head outside to enjoy the Southwest Colorado sunshine. Watch your children play tag in the expansive yard or get lost in a novel on the back deck. Come mealtime, you can flip burgers and hot dogs on the gas grill and gather for lunch around the patio table. As the day ends, throw your biking and hiking clothes in the private washer/dryer and sit on the front porch with a cold beer or a glass of wine. The kids can retreat to the den just off the dining room, where they’ll find a comfortable couch and a second TV to watch a few family favorites. The primary suite features a TV and an attached bathroom with a claw-foot tub and a hand-held showerhead.
