Property Description

If you're looking for a comfortable home within easy walking or biking distance of everything downtown Ridgway offers, this one deserves a look! Combining country charm with modern amenities, this inviting nouveau craftsman home was extensively remodeled, including new oak hardwood flooring on the main level and an updated kitchen with newer high-end appliances, granite countertops, maple Shaker-style cabinetry, a breakfast bar, and a spacious adjoining dining area. The main-level primary bedroom suite can be closed off from the rest of the living area for added privacy. Large picture windows bring in plenty of natural light and offer lovely views of the Cimarron Mountains and landscaped backyard, with direct access to a private patio—an ideal spot for morning coffee. The beautifully updated bathroom features a travertine-tiled steam shower, heated tile floor, Caspian Sea limestone countertops, and generous storage in cherry Shaker-style cabinetry. The primary bedroom closet is conveniently located across the hall from the bathroom. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms, the east bedroom also enjoying beautiful Cimarron Mountain views. The shared second bathroom features a Ultra Bain air-jetted tub, Jerusalem Gold travertine tile, and Douglas fir flat-panel cabinetry. Outdoor living is another appealing feature of this property. A private flagstone patio off the dining area includes a shade covering for warm summer days. The fully fenced backyard offers apple trees, established plant, vegetable, and flower beds with drip irrigation, and a storage shed. Double steel gates off the alley provide access for parking an RV or boat, with room to consider adding a detached garage and accessory dwelling unit (ADU), subject to Town approval. The home also includes a 720-square-foot partially finished, heated basement with a laundry area and included washer and dryer. There's plenty of additional space for storage, hobbies, a music practice room, exercise equipment, or other creative uses. Recent improvements include a roof and owned solar panels installed 3 years ago, helping to offset electricity costs. The exterior has been recently repainted. The water heater is only 4 years old and has been serviced annually. Beyond the property itself, the location is hard to beat. Enjoy Ridgway's restaurants, shops, parks, and community activities just minutes from your doorstep. Ouray's hot springs and hiking trails are a short drive away, while Montrose offers additional shopping, services, and a regional airport. World-class skiing, golf, and the outdoor recreation opportunities of the San Juan Mountains are all within easy reach. Well-maintained and clearly loved, this home is ready for its next owners to settle in and enjoy all that Ridgway and the surrounding area have to offer.
