Set near Barranca Elementary School and overlooking the natural beauty of Barranca Mesas many canyon's, this 2,450 sq ft ranch-style home sits on a .36-acre canyon lot and carries a bit of that Northern New Mexico charm that fits the setting so well.

The main floor includes three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with hardwood floors that were discovered when the original carpet was removed.The lower level recreation room adds flexibility with a fourth bedroom, half bath, and laundry room with a laundry chute, plus direct backyard access. Practical features are easy to appreciate here: baseboard hot-water heat throughout, a two-car attached garage with automatic door and direct kitchen access, attic storage, and a spacious work area with built-in shelves and a workbench.A synthetic wood deck extends the main living space outdoors, providing a comfortable place to enjoy the canyon setting while nature’s beautiful creatures wander through this well-maintained backyard. A drip and sprinkler irrigation system will keep the lawn green through the summer with little effort, while the rose bushes are expected to put on a great show this spring. When the New Mexico monsoon rains roll in, there’s added peace of mind knowing the shingle roof was replaced in 2022(*warranty transferable).Convenience is close by as well—only 5 minutes to the Los Alamos Golf Course, roughly 10 minutes to Los Alamos National Laboratory, another 10 minutes to the downtown in Los Alamos.
