PREMIUM VIEW LOT! Million-dollar views without the Million-dollar price tag! Every window has a view to either the Sandia mountains, the Jemez mountains, or the western skyline. From the backyard you can see the balloons from the October Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta and from the front yard you can see the Freedom 4th Fireworks. Beautiful ~2633 square foot, one-story home on .89 of an acre in the highly sought-after North Albuquerque Acres. Plenty of room to social distance and keep yourself entertained. The home has a large sport pool, 3-foot-deep on both ends and 5-foot-deep in the middle. Perfect for water volleyball, lazy summers spent poolside, and evening pool parties. The pool comes with an automatic cover which helps keep the pool clean in addition to trapping in the heat to lower your heating costs. The pool has a gas heater to ensure the perfect temperature. In the 8 years we have lived in this home, we have maintained the pool by having it inspected every year during the opening and closing. Additionally, here are some of the larger items we have replaced: Heater (2013), Tile (2014), Whisper Flow Pump (2015), Cover (2017), Pool Filter (2019). We even have a new Hayward pool vacuum bought last year that will be staying with home. Do you have a baseball or softball player in the family? A full-size permanent batting cage complete with pitching mound is located on the back of the property. Additionally, there is a lighted fire pit in the backyard for spending evenings with family and friends. The backyard has 3 peach trees, 2 Montmorency cherry trees, 1 apricot tree and 2 apple trees. A fenced in garden with four raised beds with a drip system. Blackberry bushes are on both sides of the garden and raspberry bushes in the front. And as if that were not enough, this home is in the top public-school district in Albuquerque. Right across the street is North Star Elementary where you can watch your children on the playground from the kitchen window as we did. Desert Ridge is the middle school and top rated La Cueva will be your high school. The home is a 4-bedroom home (currently one of the bedrooms is being used as a second living area) with 2 full bathrooms and one ¾ bathroom and an office. A wonderful wood burning fireplace will keep you warm during the cool winter evenings along with radiant heat throughout the home. Home improvements include: new water heater (2013), bathrooms remodeled (2015), new carpet (2018), new Bali blinds (2018), new dishwasher (2018), and 2 brand new Aero cool units were installed this summer. Roof maintenance is performed yearly. The home is on well and septic. No water bills! The well is a shared well with the neighbors to the west. In 2019, a brand-new pump and motor were installed, and the well was brought up to all current codes with the sale of the home that shares the well in December of 2019. The home has a 3-car oversized garage. There is a storage room in the garage and enough room for a second refrigerator, full size freezer, stationary bike, and treadmill in the garage. We also had the driveway paved leading up to the garage. A tuff shed (8X10) is in the backyard for additional storage. Call us today at 505-228-7292 to schedule a time to view this wonderful home. Come without a realtor and we will cut the price by the 3% commission we would normally have to pay to the realtor. Our title company will facilitate the purchase.
