Purple Juniper: Heart of Downtown, Sunny Front Patio, Welcoming and Comfortable

With the Purple Juniper as your home base in Durango, you will be able to park your car and walk everywhere in town. With a five-minute walk, arrive at the heart of downtown and restaurants, shops, and the Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Railraod.

The home itself is an intimate and inviting half-duplex f faces a sunny and quiet neighborhood street. It is cozy with an open floor plan with an updated bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen and living room are connected by a granite island with three seats. Additional dining seating in warmer months is a four-seat table on the front deck. The bedrooms have a queen bed in one room and two twins in the second room. All beds are solid, plush, and comfortable. Evaporative cooling in the Summer additionally provides for restful nights.

The adjacent unit's primary access is from the back of the house, while Purple Juniper's access is from the front, with dedicated use of the front patio seating, and grill.

In addition to Main Avenue and downtown, hiking and biking trails including the Nature Trail and Sky Steps within a few blocks of the home. The neighborhood is pedestrian and dog-friendly and the block on which Purple Juniper resides is especially quiet and peaceful.

Guests are welcome to bring up to two pups, provided they don't get on furniture and have a low-key disposition given the pedestrian nature of the neighborhood.

Feel free to also check out the executive rental next-door, the Highland Sage, which is a three-bedroom home with similar amenities. I look forward to hosting you at this peaceful, downtown home
