413 alpine forest drive

Welcome to 413 Alpine Forest - where you can live in harmony in a beautiful mountain setting yet enjoy the conveniences of living close to town (10 minutes to Bayfield and 30 minutes to Durango)! This classic, comfortable and inviting home has just been updated, with newly refinished wood floors, new kitchen appliances and stainless "chef's sink", and bathroom upgrades including a new shower. This home has a friendly feel, with a wall of windows and soaring 18 ft high cathedral ceiling in the great room, which brings in plenty of light and showcases the mountain views. The home sits on .42 acres backing to open space, so you can enjoy some elbow room. Entering on the lowest level via your dream heated 3 car garage, it is easy to appreciate the space to store your vehicles and your toys, with insulated doors and automatic door openers. Entering the home from the garage, you will find a bedroom as well as a separate office on the lower level. Heading upstairs to the main level of the home, you will appreciate the use of wood throughout, and the tall ceilings that add a lot of volume and interest in the space. Plants thrive in this space and the sliding doors take you right out to the spacious deck. There are custom made wood doors and newly refinished woodwork throughout. There are two bedrooms on the main level, a 3/4 bath, and a roomy laundry room with sink and exterior door to the dog run. Extensive storage is found throughout the home - with 16 closets & storage spaces. Upstairs is a loft with bookshelves and reading nook, and double doors that open into the private and roomy primary bedroom suite. Features include a walk-in closet with custom shelving and shoe racks, full bath with Jacuzzi tub, and sliding door access to the balcony deck overlooking the open space behind the home. Smart washer and dryer are included as well as a snowblower and second refrigerator in the garage. The flat, south-facing driveway provides easy access year around. This home enjoys the convenience of central water and sewer, and has been pre-inspected. Enjoy access to Lake Simpatico nearby as well as National Forest access. The foot path immediately outside the house on the green-belt is a 10-minute walk directly to the lake, and is a 2-minute walk the other direction directly to the mailboxes and public school bus stop. The green-belt is only lightly used by other residents backing to it, as well as a variety of wildlife. This property has a fire hydrant close, a fire station less than a mile away, and an insurance file marked "no concerns" so insurance should not be an issue for this home.
