Buyers contingency fell through. Offered for the first time by the original architect and family, this visually striking home is a masterclass in combining natural light, scale, and views without compromising warmth. A compelling alternative to today's ubiquitous white-box aesthetic, the home celebrates rich natural materials and architectural character. Built into the surrounding geography of the Sandia Mountain Foothills, it features stunning wood beams, updated wood/aluminum-clad windows, new light fixtures and hardware throughout, and stainless steel appliances. The primary bathroom was remodeled with a striking copper soaking tub, vanity, fixtures, and tile. Sited just a quarter mile from the Embudo Trailhead, a favorite among local mountain bikers and hikers, the home offers access to the national forest practically from your front door. The oversized three-car garage connects to an additional flex room designed for use as an art studio, workout room, or office, with an attached 3/4 bath. This impressive residence captures the essence of Foothills living.
