Downtown Durango cottage home with Junction Creek frontage. Surrounded by mature trees and backing to live water, this unique in-town property offers a combination of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience that is difficult to find. The home features a practical and efficient floor plan with one bedroom and one bathroom on the main level, along with the living room, dining area, and kitchen. Large windows throughout bring in abundant natural light and provide views of the surrounding landscape. A deck off the east side of the home offers easy access to the outdoors, while multiple seating areas along the creek create ideal spaces for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying the year-round sounds of Junction Creek. An additional sleeping area is located on the lower level. The home underwent a substantial remodel that included diamond plaster walls, an electric boiler system with in-floor radiant heat, and the use of environmentally conscious building materials. The result is a comfortable, well-built home that blends character with modern functionality. Adding to its appeal, the property is framed by a distinctive brick pillar and iron fence along the street-facing sides, creating a strong sense of presence and privacy. The mature trees provide excellent shade during the summer months, while the creekside setting offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a waterfront lifestyle without sacrificing the convenience of being in town. Whether as a primary residence, second home, or investment property, this is a unique opportunity to own one of Durango's few in-town properties with direct Junction Creek frontage.
