Nestled along a beautiful tree-lined street in the heart of Albuquerque's North Valley, this charming Pueblo-style home combines historic character with modern updates. Built in 1941, it features refinished original hardwood floors, stained concrete flooring, fresh paint, new carpet, and updated vinyl windows. The remodeled kitchen offers updated cabinetry, quartz and granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Situated on a lush half-acre lot with ditch irrigation, the property includes towering trees, a pond, water feature, and exceptional privacy. A heated and cooled detached office could easily serve as a future casita. Additional features include backyard access, a detached garage, and a storage shed.
Los Alamos, located between Lomas Blvd NE and Indian School Rd NE, is a residential and institutional Albuquerque neighborhood with mid-century blocks and a campus-edge feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the UNM North Golf Course loop at Girard Blvd NE, where fairways, walkers, and bike traffic set a steady rhythm. Low-slung ranch homes and small apartment courts sit under mature trees, with wide streets and long sightlines toward the Sandias. Zimmerman Library and Popejoy Hall add a scholarly, arts-forward pulse nearby. Johnson Field and the UNM North Golf Course keep open space in daily view. Coffee stops and local eateries along Central and in Nob Hill round out the routine without changing the quiet tone.
