Newly remodeled, newly furnished in 2024! “Breathtaking-Best-in- the -City” unobstructed views of the Sandia Mts, golf course & sparkling city lights. It's like Country Club Living. You will be proud to call it home! It's a fabulous place to relax and unwind after your adventures in Albuquerque and New Mexico. (Or just stay home and enjoy the ever-changing views! Spectacular sunrises, sunsets, storm clouds forming, lightning striking in a distance, wildlife roaming, flocks soaring, hot-air balloons floating, animated golfers swinging and more! Please note that the Sandia Mts. turn a deep pink hue for only a few moments (the color of watermelon-- that is why the "Sandias" -watermelon in Spanish- got its name) just before dusk as the sun is setting. You won't want to miss the precise time of the deep color! (Those of us who live here, still try to catch the exact time each day the color changes and we are always enraptured to see it. From the patio, you will see the city lights twinkle from the rays of the setting sun just as the mountains turn to pink. It is a sight to see!
Please note: There is NO air conditioning in the home at this time. It is only cooled by fans. In the future there might be another cooling option.
The East-facing, mountain facing cheery and delightful sunroom has huge windows, 2 sliders on to a large covered patio & 4-hole putting green for your fun and enjoyment. The patio can be a very peaceful and relaxing spot to watch magnificent and dramatic storm clouds forming over the mts. in front of you, and it can be exciting to watch amusing golfers with comical stances and unique golf swings tee off in front of you. (Yes, they tee off AWAY from you and the home!) You can have your own golf competition on your own putting green in the backyard. The Ladera Golf Course Club house might have some live evening entertainment. Assorted and beguiling wildlife often roam or soar above the golf course- Egrets, geese, ducks, roadrunners and of course the coyote. And you will be delighted to see the occasional hot-air balloons floating nearby. From inside the master bedroom, you will be able to see the Sun rise over the mts. and you can watch the outside pageantry from the comfort of the master because it, too has a sliding glass door onto the patio. The master also features an ensuite with a new walk-in shower. The livingroom has a soaring ceiling, high clerestory windows and real wood floors. The home is in a quiet, golf course neighborhood with no through traffic. It is conveniently located near much entertainment and events. Located off of I-40 and the Coors exit, the home is just minutes to Albuquerque Old Town and downtown- only a few exits away. The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center is nearby, as well. The Petroglyph National Monument is 3 minutes to the west & protects one of the largest petroglyph sites in North America, featuring designs and symbols carved onto volcanic rocks by Native Americans and Spanish settlers 400 to 700 years ago. Just a block away to the west is a delightful park with two tennis courts. The home is an attached townhome on one side.
