Set on a spacious corner lot in Valle Grande Estates, this home offers striking bluff views from the front and an expansive, park-like backyard with ample space to enjoy the very best of New Mexico living--perfect for relaxing or taking in a beautiful evening under the open sky. The curb appeal sets the tone with a clean, low-maintenance xeriscaped front yard and plenty of parking, plus a detached oversized garage built for more than just vehicles--think workspace, hobbies, and extra loft storage. Step inside and the home immediately feels light, open, and refreshed. Sunlight pours through multiple double-pane windows, highlighting the warm, refinished wood floors and updated finishes throughout the main level. The kitchen is both stylish and practical, featuring quartz countertops, a deep sink, and abundant cabinetry, all flowing naturally into the dining area and inviting living space. A fireplace anchors the room, while a large bay window with built-in seating creates the perfect spot to relax and take in the light. Upstairs offers three comfortable bedrooms and a full bath, all thoughtfully updated with modern touches. Downstairs, flexibility takes center stage--a private lower level with barn door entry, bedroom, bathroom, utility space, and a wood-burning stove. Whether you envision a cozy second living area or a tucked-away primary retreat, the choice is yours. Out back, the space truly opens up. French doors lead to a generous deck with pergola--ideal for quiet mornings or evening gatherings. The expansive yard includes alley access, a flagstone patio, greenhouse, and raised garden beds for those who love to grow. An above-ground pool (installed in 2025) adds a fun bonus and is negotiable. With refrigerated air for summer comfort and a water heater updated in 2024, this home blends thoughtful updates with everyday livability--all in a setting that feels distinctly New Mexico.
