About This Property

THE MOST COMPELLING HOME ON THE MARKET! If finding the right home sometimes feels like searching for a needle in a haystack--and only once every few years does one truly stand apart--you owe it to yourself to experience this exceptional residence. From the handsome curb appeal and convenient rear-alley garage access to the beautifully curated interior and extraordinary backyard, years of prideful ownership are evident at every turn. No detail was overlooked in thoughtfully upgrading, improving and maintaining this remarkable home.Major improvements include a new TPO roof installed December 2025 with transferable warranty, elastomeric stucco, color-matched gutters, top-of-the-line Lennox refrigerated air and furnace, upgraded 200-amp electrical service, oversized 50-gallon gas water heater, and JELD-WEN double-pane thermal windows for added comfort and efficiency.Step inside to discover a home overflowing with warmth, craftsmanship and character. The spectacular living room showcases stately custom wood paneled walls, a handsome brick fireplace with easy-care gas logs, durable wood-look tile flooring, and gorgeous Pella French doors opening to the covered patio. The adjoining dining room continues the rich craftsmanship with custom wood-paneled wainscoting and abundant natural light.The kitchen shines with new granite slab countertops and backsplash in 2026, GE glass cooktop, GE dishwasher with stainless-steel interior, GE Profile Advantium built-in wall oven/microwave (cooks food in a fraction of the time), extensive refinished cabinetry, and a skylight pouring in cheerful natural light.Both bathrooms have been beautifully renovated with premium quartz countertops and quality TOTO, Delta, Kohler and Restoration Hardware appointments. The primary bath is especially impressive with its large frameless-glass walk-in tiled shower, creating a polished and luxurious retreat.You'll love the European-inspired primary bedroom show closet, ideal for beautifully displaying and organizing your wardrobe, shoes and accessories while adding a sophisticated boutique-like touch to your everyday routine.And then there's the backyard retreat! Wow. Melt into your own private sanctuary featuring a covered patio, lush lawn, beautifully maintained landscaping and two magnificent mature ash trees creating an incredible canopy of shade. A professionally installed 3-zone Hunter irrigation system, low-voltage landscape lighting with quality brass fixtures, charming overhead string lighting and privacy block-walls complete this enchanting setting. It's an exceptional space for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying New Mexico's beautiful outdoors from your own shaded sanctuary.Even the garage reflects the attention to detail, thoughtfully upgraded with an insulated garage door and premium LiftMaster wall-mounted Wi-Fi enhanced opener. Interior laundry, abundant practical improvements and meticulous attention to detail complete a home that is anything but ordinary.Homes offering this combination of character, quality, updates, and outdoor living, are exceptionally difficult to find.
