A private gated entry opens to this architecturally distinguished residence, set on 1.23 acres directly across from the Sun Mountain Trailhead and just minutes from Museum Hill and Canyon Road. The home won the AIA Residential Design Merit Award and is constructed of pumice-crete, featuring thick walls and deep-set divided-light windows, offering 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, an office, and a media/den, with an intentional and well-balanced layout. At its center, the remodeled kitchen anchors the home, appointed with a six-burner Wolf stovetop, Sub-Zero refrigerator, double Wolf oven, new cabinetry, and Mont Blanc quartzite countertops. It opens seamlessly to a grand living and dining space designed for entertaining, defined by a large fireplace and a hand-painted ceiling. The primary suite is privately situated and opens to a balcony with Jemez Mountain views. The ensuite bath is finished with Ann Sacks tile, a marble shower, quartz countertops, and complemented by a spacious walk-in closet. What sets this home apart is that the current owner is a professionally trained designer who personally oversaw a full renovation of the property. Every space has been thoughtfully updated, from the kitchen and bathrooms to the living areas and outdoor spaces, resulting in a cohesive, contemporary and organic aesthetic throughout. Additional features include radiant floor heating throughout, mini-splits for cooling, wire-brushed pine doors, and three fireplaces. Recent upgrades include a new roof and stucco (2022), a fully remodeled kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room, an office addition, new hardwood flooring in the bedrooms and office, all new LED lighting, a reverse osmosis system, and a new leach field. The grounds are thoughtfully landscaped with drip irrigation, creating a setting that feels both curated and natural. A paved drive leads to the two-car garage, with ample additional parking completing the property.
