Enjoy a barbecue on the patio overlooking an oasis of grass, trees and colorful gardens in summer. There is off street parking and a private entrance through the securely gated backyard.
The house is centrally located in Albuquerque’s Old Town, the serene village that has been the focal point of community life since 1706. There are dozens of unique shops, restaurants, boutiques, galleries, artist’s studios, and San Felipe de Neri church, surrounding a central park and gazebo. The Native Americans gather beneath the portals everyday to sell their handmade jewelry and pottery. Adjacent to the plaza are the fabulous Albuquerque Art Museum and sculpture garden, the Albuquerque Natural History Museum, the Explora Children’s Museum, and Tiguex Park. All of this is just a short stroll down the street behind the house.
One mile to the west is the Albuquerque Aquarium and Biopark. The fabulous Rio Grande Zoological Park and gardens is connected to the Biopark via a short and fun shuttle train ride. The emerging downtown urban center is close-by with the convention center, the historic Kimo Theater, and the hub of Central Ave with a fabulous cinema complex, restaurants and clubs.
A short drive away is the Rio Grande nature center with hiking/biking trails along the river overlooking the spectacular Sandia Mountains. The Rio Grande River is a seasonal migration path for Canada geese, ducks, cranes and herons, so in fall, winter and spring the bird watching is world class. The near-by Sandia Mountains feature awe inspiring hiking and biking trails, winter sports, and an excellent restaurant at the top reachable by the world’s longest aerial tramway.
The house is one mile from the convention center, and only 3 miles from the University of New Mexico.
This lovely house will provide you with comfort, serenity and luxury as you return from a day of exploring, or simply spend a day relaxing at “home” in New Mexico.
