About this property
Light-filled New Mexican Villa with Mountain Views
Revel in the beautiful spaces of this prime New Mexican villa with views to the mountains and city lights at night. We call it "El Refugio", the best of Rio Rancho, steps from idyllic Corrales. Unwind with two bedrooms and full working study. Forget tension and stress in the large master bath jacuzzi. Get it all done in the fully-equipped laundry room . Cook up a feast in the well-equipped, spacious kitchen. As the sunset mountains turn red you can take to the portales with mountain views.
The space
The house is all on one floor. One step up from the sidewalk into the entryway and you are there. Plan provides much light and at the same time privacy from the street in all the living areas and master bedroom. There is a breakfast room for casual dining and a larger dining table in the main living area. The master bedroom suite is spacious containing a walk in closet and large bath with jacuzzi, separate shower and large dressing area. A large covered patio, the portales, provides a great place for dining with table and chairs, gas grill under the portales.
Guest access
Guests have full access to all spaces.
Other things to note
In-floor radiant heating provides the best kind of warmth for cold weather. The living area also has an easy to use gas fireplace to make things cozy. A gas grill under the portales for dining at the table and chairs outside.
