739 clinton street

Opportunities to own one of Ridgway's truly iconic in-town homes are exceptionally rare, and this remarkable custom residence on coveted Clinton Street is among the finest. Long regarded as the premier residential block within Ridgway's Historic Town Center, Clinton Street is where timeless architecture, mature landscaping, and small-town charm come together just steps from the community's favorite destinations. Stroll a half block to Kate's Place for breakfast, meet friends at Colorado Boy Brew Pub, enjoy concerts and festivals in Hartwell Park, browse local galleries and boutiques, or walk to Mountain Market, Belle Vino, the library, schools, and restaurants. From this extraordinary location you're only minutes from Ridgway State Park, spectacular Ouray—the "Switzerland of America"—and an easy drive to the world-class skiing, golf, mountain biking, hiking, and internationally renowned music and film festivals of Telluride. Built by its owner in 2002 with uncompromising craftsmanship, the home possesses a warmth and character rarely found in newer construction. Set well back on an oversized, beautifully landscaped lot for exceptional privacy beneath mature shade trees, the property immediately captures attention with soaring rooflines, handcrafted cedar siding accented with reclaimed antique timbers, decorative ironwork, and architecture that feels both timeless and distinctly European. Inside, reclaimed old-growth redwood, gracefully curved walls, artisan millwork, custom doors, rich brick, tile, and wrought iron combine to create an atmosphere that is elegant, inviting, and unforgettable. Natural light pours through expansive windows, highlighting the remarkable craftsmanship throughout every room. The flowing floor plan was thoughtfully designed for both entertaining and everyday living, anchored by an extraordinary great room featuring a magnificent vintage 1890 wood-burning stove that fills the home with warmth and old-world character. The gourmet kitchen is worthy of a luxury magazine, showcasing a Viking professional range with custom iron surround, Viking double wall ovens, a 48-inch Sub-Zero refrigerator, richly crafted custom cabinetry, striking stained concrete countertops, beautiful artisan lighting, generous pantry space, and a charming built-in breakfast nook. A sculptural curved staircase leads to the private upper levels where the luxurious primary suite offers a spa-inspired bath with a European walk-in shower, oversized jetted soaking tub for two, and an impressive walk-in wardrobe with soaring ceilings and custom built-ins. A second bedroom with bath provides privacy for family or guests, while the upper loft overlooking the great room is ideal as a home office, media room, or third bedroom. Completing this exceptional property is a highly desirable detached carriage house featuring oversized garage and workshop space below and a beautifully finished one-bedroom, one-bath accessory dwelling above—perfect for guests, multigenerational living, long-term rental income, or short-term rental opportunities with appropriate approvals. Combining extraordinary craftsmanship, timeless architecture, income potential, and one of the most desirable walkable locations in Ridgway, this is a legacy property that seldom becomes available. For those who have admired this home for years while dreaming, "Someday that home will be mine," someday has finally arrived.
