Max T Hutcheson, The Wells Group of Durango, LLC, C: 970-769-7392, max@thedurangoteam.com, http://maxhutcheson.com/: First time on the market! This Falls Creek home, nestled amongst the pines and aspen trees has been a beloved family home for 3 generations. Ideally situated on the east-facing ridge with unobstructed year-round views of the Animas Valley, this timeless mountain home is one of the most coveted properties in the community. The covered entry welcomes you with a simple stained-glass door into the main floor, replete with Saltillo-style tile flooring and rich wood details. To the right, the living space opens to the kitchen with classic artisanal tile counters leading to a cozy banquette with views onto the deck and beyond. The dining room with its built-in cabinetry opens to more stunning views of the Animas River and Red Cliffs, as well as french doors to the large deck with access to a BBQ and the gazebo. Across from the dining room you'll find a small den that makes a perfect office, TV room, or library. Step down into the living room with its vaulted ceiling and exposed wood beams, grand stone fireplace and wall-to-wall windows punctuated by french doors to a juliette balcony, and once again, you're swept up in 180 degree views of the Valley. At the other end of the main floor is a large bedroom with an ensuite bathroom which is also accessible from the front hall. The entire main floor boasts recently updated radiant heat floors. Down a few steps you'll find another bedroom complete with built-in bunk beds and an ensuite ¾ bath, as well as an expansive game room with French doors opening to a private patio. Continue down the stairway and you'll enter a gracious hallway with a wet bar that leads to an additional sitting room with wood burning stove, views of the Valley and a small private patio. This lower level also features the perfect private guest quarters with ensuite bath, a generous laundry room, and access to the two-car garage with plenty of storage. Take the elevator up to the top floor and discover a spacious music/library room, with oak floors and huge windows. This space provides an ideal entertainment/dinner party venue. This floor features a loft/office that overlooks the living room, as well as the large primary suite which includes an oversized bathroom with soaking tub and walk-in shower, vanity/dressing room, large walk-in closet and more storage. Open the french doors from the primary suite to a private balcony with gorgeous views. Back to the main floor out to the deck, follow the path to the charming gazebo for a quiet chat, game night or a sleepover. This tranquil get-away offers more stunning views of the Valley. Falls Creek is only 20 minutes from Durango, offering its residents many private amenities: miles and miles of trails for hiking and cross-country skiing or snowshoeing, an equestrian facility, pickleball/tennis courts and, a 40-acre lake with two sand beaches for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding or fishing.
