GREAT LOCATION, CHEERFUL SPACE:
The Sunhouse is located adjacent to the historic district. It's a short stroll through the shady turn-of-century residental neighborhood to downtown, with all it's shops and restaurants. It is also a short walk to the famous Durango & Silverton Narrow Guage Railroad Station, but not so close that you are exposed to the coal smoke at night, as are some closer-in residences. There are mountain views from every room, and sun throughout the day. While the location is central, there is little road noise, as the sunhouse is located in the interior of the development, away from direct road frontage. Across the street, there is wonderful Santa Rita Park and the extensive, paved, Santa Rita Trail, which runs along the river for several miles. Hiking trails start just 3 blocks away, and are perfect for walking, trail running or mountain biking. Don't forget the Sonic Drive-In for a well deserved root beer float (my favorite!) after your exertions.
LARGE FAMILY AREA, QUIET BEDROOMS:
On the main floor of the Sunhouse, you will find a spacious kitchen with breakfast bar -with eastern exposure the sun pours in every morning. The kitchen flows into the designer dining room and living room. The owner is a photographer, and there are numerous pictures of the amazing Southwest landscape throughout the house. A desk is provided for your computer needs, with high speed Internet and color printer.
On the sundeck, there is a gas grill and Adirondack chairs. It's a great place to catch the sunset every night.
On the top floor, you find the master suite, with private bathroom. It's furnished with a modern king sized plaform bed and memory foam mattress-incredibly comfortable!! The second bedroom has a queen sized conventional pillow top mattress that's super plush. The third bedroom has a set of twin beds. A bathroom in the hallway serves these two bedrooms. All furnishings are new as of 2007.
CONVENIENCE FEATURES & EXTRAS!:
