Comfortable and low-maintenance riverfront property. This neighborhood is low risk from wildfires. ***On a final note, this property is an outstanding VALUE compared to the homes currently listed in the Durango area. Besides its terrific close-in location and many great features it offers more space than almost all other homes when you compare the number of bedrooms and bathrooms to the square footage, especially when compared directly to other townhomes. Importantly, the cost of a home you are looking for is what’s out there TODAY and NOT what properties sold for a year ago. This market has grown a lot; it is a different market vs. a year ago and Durango has grown a lot too, with great plans for citywide improvements. Ounce for ounce, square foot for square foot, this home is a FANTASTIC VALUE compared to what else is available.
