Beautifully maintained, bright, and inviting, the home blends distinctive architecture with exceptional everyday functionality.Soaring wood-beam ceilings and curved walls of windows fill the main living areas with exceptional natural light, complemented by a gas fireplace and open kitchen/breakfast area. The main-level primary suite is privately separated from the upstairs bedrooms and features an expansive two-wall walk-in closet and a well-appointed bath with dual vanities, jetted tub, separate shower with built-in seat, and private toilet room. Upstairs bedrooms offer Sandia Mountain views and morning sunrises, while a large stair-landing window captures beautiful skies and sunsets. Operable skylights add natural light and ventilation.A 270-degree yard wraps around the home, with multiple connections, an unusually practical layout for entertaining, family life, and easy movement for children and pets.The gated community offers direct park access and convenient proximity to Trader Joe's, trails, shopping, I-25, and highly regarded local schools.Thoughtful updates include refrigerated air (2023), furnace (2022), copper plumbing connection fittings (2025), garage door opener (2025), and roof modifications to discourage pigeon nesting.It is a home designed not simply to look good, but to make the rhythm of everyday life feel lighter and more pleasant. Come experience it in person.
