This centrally located 3 bedroom 2 bath 2,416 sq ft home in a quiet residential neighborhood is handy to hospitals, shopping and hopping on I-25 for an easy commute to Los Alamos or Albuquerque. Entering past golden aspens and the front gardens a round front entry foyer leads to the main living areas, which have high viga ceilings, nichos and tile floors giving the home a lovely feel of Santa Fe style. The large formal living room has a corner kiva fireplace and wonderful light. A separate dining room is a nice bonus for family holiday meals and is handy to the kitchen. The cooks’ kitchen has a new oven and fridge, as well as a cool mobile island and is open to both the breakfast room and the high-ceilinged family room with an ample fireplace enjoyed from all the surrounding rooms, so the cook is always part of the action. The laundry room is off the breakfast nook and has a new washer/dryer and leads directly into the 2-car garage. With two sets of glass doors leading out from the family room, there is easy access to a private walled yard with a covered portal, a water feature big enough to hold koi fish and established iris beds, a large bed of wild roses, and other beds for spring planting. The drip irrigation is already in place! The primary bedroom is a good size with a large walk in closet and great en-suite bath complete with corner jacuzzi tub, double sink vanity and a separate shower. The other two bedrooms are down the hall and share a full bath. There is also a 3K credit for carpet allowance. A new membrane roof with transferable warranty, owned solar array, mini splits for cooling and supplemental radiant heat, built in speakers and two large storage sheds for suitcases, skis, bikes and holiday dcor. This is a wonderful home in every sense.
