Overview

A rare find in the North Valley! Rich with old-world charm and enduring character. A lush, established private garden, lovingly designed by master gardeners, surrounds the gunite pool, revealing a new kind of beauty in every season.The distinguished home welcomes visitors through the front courtyard along a brick path towards the front door, a secret garden entrance to a property with its own quiet spirit. Inside, the living room, dining area, and kitchen flow beneath a vaulted ceiling, with transom windows drawing natural light into the open space. A gas stove brings warmth to the front living area and brick floors add texture adding a lovely sense of history.Custom kitchen cabinetry honors the home's original feel while offering modern comfort. The hall bath has been beautifully renovated with a generous walk-in shower. In the primary bedroom there is an additonal walk-in shower en-suite. The brick floors continue below with exposed wood vigas above, and a wood-burning kiva fireplace create a cozy retreat. The backdoor opens to a wisteria-covered flagstone patio and another private, walled garden.Beyond it, roses and established flowers surround the heated 20-by-10-foot gunite pool, making the backyard feel like a sanctuary of its own. A deck on the opposite side of the pool offers plenty of options for get togethers and gatherings. The backyard also sneaks in a little tucked away garden bed area perfect for growing herbs and veggies. As an added bonus the refrigerated air throughout keeps the home cool in summer; come winter, the kiva offers a welcoming place to snuggle up. A large detached garage leaves room for projects, storage, or whatever comes next. This is authentic New Mexico living. A home that belongs here and has never tried to be anywhere else!
