Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this unique 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers something that's increasingly hard to find: space, privacy, and a peaceful connection to nature. Set on a full acre backing to additional church-owned acreage, the property feels wonderfully secluded, with mature trees, blooming jasmine, a pear tree, and a charming pond creating a beautiful natural backdrop. There is also a little history and artistry woven into this home. The previous owner was local artist Mary Sullivan, who taught at Santa Fe College, and she left behind several whimsical touches that make the home feel truly one-of-a-kind. In the bonus room, she painted a charming faux bookshelf across the top of the window seat; above the dining room light fixture, a hand-painted sun surrounds the light; and outside the bonus room, blue stones were artistically set into the concrete to create a permanent piece of her work. The home itself offers 1,801 square feet with a floor plan that gives everyone room to spread out. Upstairs, the private primary suite feels like its own retreat, complete with a walk-in closet, en-suite bathroom, and private balcony overlooking the backyard. Below, two additional bedrooms share a full bath, making the layout ideal for families, guests, or anyone who appreciates separation between living spaces. The main living room features vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and large windows overlooking the enormous screened porch and backyard. This screen in back porch may become your favorite gathering spot—a generous space for entertaining, kids to play, or simply enjoying your morning coffee surrounded by greenery. The kitchen includes an eat-in dining area, brand-new LVP flooring, and updated appliances. Just beyond the kitchen are the indoor laundry room, a large walk-in utility/storage room, and a spacious bonus room with its own exterior entrance—perfect for a home office, hobby room, playroom, or workshop. Outside, the possibilities are plentiful. A 2-car carport with attached workshop provides covered parking and workspace, while the expansive property offers plenty of room for additional storage, a garage, garden, or even an ADU. Electrical connections remain in place from two former shed locations, making future additions even easier. The circular driveway creates an easy flow for coming and going without awkward backing or maneuvering. Major improvements include Hardie board siding (2021), a new roof (2021) and HVAC (2024). And then there's the location. The home sits directly across from the local fire station, but don't let that stop you from taking a closer look. The station is a quiet, friendly neighbor—the firefighters are known for being wonderful with local families, even giving neighborhood kids tours of the trucks and equipment. And importantly, they don't activate the sirens until reaching 34th Street, so the home enjoys the convenience of having first responders nearby without the constant noise you might expect. This is a home that offers something for almost every stage of life—room for a growing family, space for a home office or hobbies, privacy for professionals, and the flexibility and peace that retirees appreciate. Private, peaceful, and full of personality, this is a home with a story to tell—and plenty of room for its next chapter.
