About This Property
Some homes are made for entertaining - and this one was made for it with a view! Offered at one price with the adjoining one-acre vacant lot, this beautifully maintained 4-bedroom home sits on .73 acres for an extraordinary 1.73 acres total. The additional lot to the east is included in the sale, providing extra space, possibilities for the future, and - perhaps best of all - protection for the home's sweeping, unobstructed views of the Sandia Mountains and the lights of Bernalillo.Inside, an enormous open living area flows into a beautifully updated kitchen with quartz countertops, reverse-osmosis drinking water and abundant space for gathering. A wet bar with its own sink, wine refrigerator and beer tap makes this a house that is genuinely ready for a crowd. Saltillo tile and hardwood flooring add warmth and character throughout.The primary suite is privately separated from the home's three additional bedrooms and features a dramatic double-sided fireplace shared by the bedroom and bath. The living-room fireplace can be enjoyed as either gas or wood-burning, bringing the home's fireplace count to three when you include the two-sided gas fireplace outside. And the outdoor living may be the real showstopper. Take in the Sandias from the expansive backyard while enjoying the outdoor kitchen with gas, water, sink and storage, two irrigated planter boxes, two water features, and solar torches lining the back fence. A substantial concrete-and-stucco backyard shed has power, lighting, water and its own sink - far more than your typical storage shed. Even the holiday decorating is ready to go: remote-controlled Christmas lights are permanently installed around the home and convey with the property.Additional thoughtful touches include quartz countertops throughout, a laundry room with sink and cabinetry, 2.5 baths, and a home that has been exceptionally well cared for.And don't miss what makes this offering especially unusual: the home and its .73-acre parcel AND the adjoining one-acre vacant lot are being sold together, as one package, for one price. Space, privacy, protected views and a beautiful home built for gathering - all overlooking one of New Mexico's greatest backdrops.
