Walled Private Compound for Lease.
Front Main House is 1680 SF. 3 BRM 2 bath, Gold Level construction. Casita with own private yard is 480 SF. Tall block walls surround property- very secure & private. Super convenient location! Beautiful landscaped yards.
Main house is an energy efficient "gold" level home. Deep green gut-rehab with large addition (2012) in established neighborhood. Like a new house built in 2012—to Gold Level standards.
Many many wonderful living features but main things you'll notice are quiet indoors (thick insulation in 12” thick walls) and smooth temperatures. Back yard faces east so morning sun fills the great room and kitchen, then afternoons are easy in the shady beautifully landscaped backyard. BBQ and raised wood-burning fire-pit. 7 foot high block walls insure privacy and keep dogs safe. Upon entering house first thing people notice is the openness – back of house has window wall 8'- 13’ high with ceiling sloping from 15' to 10’ with passive solar clerestory running length of great room.
Other notables are the custom quality products and finishes: custom tile in both bathrooms, deep soak cast iron tub in master with separate shower, solid cherry wood kitchen cabinets, stainless appliances, great mood lighting options- dimmers everywhere!. Hardwood floors (oak & brazilian tigerwood) cork in kitchen, tile in bath & laundry. Great closet space throughout. 2 walk-ins in master and large front hall for extra storage.

Casita is 480 SF. A real jewel! Large tile floors in kitchen & bathroom, dark oak T&G salvaged from Nob Hill home built in 40’s. Large windows with lots of natural light. Solid Cherry wood cabinets -providing more storage than most apartments. Bathroom has a full tiled shower with glass doors, Cherry wood Pantry as linen closet.
Main Living area is suited for a Loveseat couch or recliner, side tables, bookshelf, & comfy chair. TV wall bracket. There is a sweet eating alcove for small dining table that looks out on casita-only backyard with large wood deck.
Sleeping area can fit a queen bed with 2 narrow side tables or bookcases. With head of bed at south wall, so facing north, it is 17’ to the north window looking into the Casita’s private backyard. It feels so spacious!
Speaking of spacious there are 2 double poled closets with built in shelves. A separate closet for coat/ vacuum etc is next to stacking washer/dryer.
Casita has off-street parking and own locked gate entrance through shared yard space for bikes etc that moves over flagstone path to 6’ solid wood gate to private casita yard.

My morning favorite walk is along the grass of Workers Park to Starbucks, then turn and go a couple more blocks to Alvarado Park where the neighborhood dogs bring their owners to visit.
Madeira Drive is a great place to land while working and playing in New Mexico!
