Property Description
Welcome to the Keegan House, one of Durango's most architecturally recognizable Queen Anne residences, built in 1881 and proudly positioned on prestigious 3rd Avenue in the Historic District of Downtown Durango. Don't miss the property video, it's a great overview of the home. First time on the market since 1971, this is a rare opportunity to restore a true Durango icon. Constructed by Irish railroad contractor Peter J. Keegan, this home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It retains a remarkable array of original features: ornate gable trim, an octagonal bay window with pierced apron, shingled upper level, tall transom windows, six fireplaces with early mantels, the original staircase and railing, period light fixtures, door hardware, wood doors, beadboard, built-ins, and intact plaster details. Massive heritage maple trees frame the front of the property, creating a beautiful canopy that sets a timeless tone. Offering 2,848 sq ft, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a 3-car detached garage, and 0.258 acres, the property sits within the MU-N zoning district, which may accommodate single-family use, duplex, ADU, live/work layout, or small commercial elements with applicable approvals. Buyers may seek additional direction from the City of Durango. MAIN LEVEL: A bright enclosed front porch welcomes you with views of 3rd Avenue and morning light. A spacious foyer showcases the original staircase, which anchors the two wings of the home. To the left, the formal dining room features tall ceilings, original wallpaper patterns, transom windows, matching built-in shelving, and an early ceiling fixture. The adjacent kitchen overlooks the backyard and mountain ridges, offering a walk-in pantry as well as access to the mud room and mechanical room below. A dedicated office sits just beyond. To the right of the entry, the great room includes large windows overlooking Smelter Mountain. A cozy sitting room with a fireplace leads to the primary main-level bedroom, which includes another fireplace, a full closet, and access to the main-level bathroom and the adjoining office. UPPER LEVEL: The second floor has served as a long-term rental for decades and has its own private exterior entrance. This level features a spacious living room with a fireplace, two bedrooms, a vintage kitchen, a full bathroom with a charming exposed-brick fireplace, and a sunroom offering elevated views of the neighborhood. This flexibility creates multiple possibilities for extended living, rental income, or future reconfiguration. GROUNDS & PARKING: The fully fenced backyard offers raised garden beds, mature trees, a lawn, and areas ready for outdoor living. A sprinkler system serves both front and back yards. The three-car detached garage offers excellent storage, hobby space, or workshop potential. Additionally, four off-street parking spaces are located in front of and beside the garage. As a designated historic property, the home may qualify for Colorado Historic Preservation Tax Credits up to $100,000 for approved rehabilitation work. Buyers may also explore additional preservation incentives or programs with the City of Durango and History Colorado. This historic property is just minutes from Durango's galleries, dining, and boutique shopping. For buyers who appreciate craftsmanship, original detail, and the irreplaceable charm of a true Victorian-era home, the Keegan House stands as a one-in-a-million opportunity to steward one of Durango's most beloved historic properties.
