This exceptional modern mountain residence combines sophisticated finishes, warm contemporary style, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living while backing directly to Edgemont Highlands Open Space. Designed by Kevin D. Reed Architecture and set on a private 0.73-acre lot surrounded by towering pines, the property offers peaceful forested surroundings with additional privacy provided by approximately 40 acres of adjacent United States land beyond the open space. Beautifully updated throughout, the 3,398-square-foot home features 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, including a dedicated office suite with a private entrance and full bath that could also serve as a guest suite, plus a gym/flex room, and oversized 3-car garage. The light-filled interior features soaring tongue-and-groove ceilings, exposed beams, expansive windows, and a warm modern mountain aesthetic throughout. The stunning great room centers around a redesigned floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and seamlessly connects to the dining area, gourmet kitchen, and exceptional outdoor entertaining spaces. Recent upgrades include newly stained concrete floors, custom barn doors, custom wrought-iron stair railings, upgraded lighting, Hunter Douglas remote-controlled blinds, fresh interior paint, and a beautifully remodeled primary suite and bath. The gourmet kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, double ovens, a microwave/convection oven, a 5-burner cooktop, a center island, a walk-in pantry, and an inviting layout designed for entertaining and everyday living. The luxurious main-level primary suite has been thoughtfully redesigned and expanded into a peaceful private retreat featuring a spa-inspired bathroom, custom finishes, tranquil forest views, and direct access to the outdoor hot tub. Also on the main level is a spacious gym/flex room with bamboo flooring that could easily function as an additional bedroom, media room, or secondary living area. Upstairs, two spacious guest bedrooms feature vaulted ceilings, generous walk-in closets, and a shared Jack-and-Jill bathroom. On the way to the oversized 3-car garage is the beautifully redesigned laundry/mud room featuring a utility sink and custom cabinetry. The outdoor living spaces feel like a private mountain resort, offering extensive new paver patios, outdoor gathering areas, professional landscaping, privacy fencing, a covered outdoor living pavilion with a TV, and a gas fire pit designed for year-round enjoyment beneath the tall pines. The sellers also expanded the front driveway to create additional guest parking and added a beautiful front patio that enhances both functionality and curb appeal. A small, enclosed dog area is conveniently located on the side of the home. Additional features include radiant in-floor heating, recent exterior paint and stain, upgraded gutters and snow management systems, and direct access to the incredible Edgemont Highlands trail system and over 200 acres of dedicated open space with hiking trails and Florida River access nearby. This exceptional property offers the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, privacy, and Colorado mountain living just minutes from downtown Durango, the hospital, and the airport.
