I'm really excited for this one.
Yeah, look at that view.
I know the mountains are right
there.
It's incredible.
So today we are
in the Sandia Heights
subdivision
of Albuquerque, New Mexico,
and we are walking this beautiful,
contemporary Adobe
style home custom
built by Nick Garcia.
We're located 7
minutes from the famous
Sandia Peak Tram.
This is a
three bedroom,
two bath, 2800 square
foot home
that we cannot wait to share
with you.
Let's take a look.
Now, before we even go in
you’ll notice this detail right here
with this handcrafted oversize
wood door.
Now, Let's go inside.
And I can really appreciate
coming into the entryway foyer
right as you look up,
you see the Latillas and Vigas.
you know, instantly
you're about to experience
something special.
Yes, also the Southwest
You have the plaster
And then over here
you do have the exposed
Adobe as well.
And then look at how much natural light
you have coming in
because you have the two windows
that flank
either side of your entryway
you have this
Like you have a moment
in your entryway.
And with the symmetry added to it,
it really just feels
really comfortable
coming into the space.
So with this home,
you have both a North and South Wing
for living.
So let's go check out the south wing
right as we’re coming into
the South Wing.
You're going to
notice the herringbone
lay in the brick design.
You're going to see that
the Vigas and Latilla style
changes into the hallway
that goes to the rest of the home.
You got a double header entrance
through this hallway into this new space
so you are in your kitchen area
Yes.
And look at the how unique
the space is.
I love it.
You can see here they have it
set up as a conversational area.
But also you have your first of
not one, not two,
but three fireplaces in this home.
And this is the kiva style
which really matches
that Southwest charm that
this whole house embodies.
Plus,
it has this really cool,
artistic tile
inlay on the banco
seating as well.
But you can do so many things
with this space,
it can be a breakfast nook,
you can keep it
this conversational area
because it is a very intimate
kitchen.
It's a very intimate kitchen.
It brings in a lot of emotion.
And if you notice
where it's located and positioned,
you have the windows of a West
facing view, the sunset glow
coming into your conversation room
as you're entertaining
in your kitchen space.
And you have this island here
which does have a dark
granite countertop,
which is juxtaposed to a lighter
countertop, that you have more along
your service counter space.
And if you look over here,
you see the backsplash.
I'm told that these
are hand-painted tiles.
And each of the animals,
with the exception of the fish,
of course, are actual animals
you can see from this house.
That's amazing.
Because we are really close to the mountain.
So you do get some wildlife
in this area.
And coming over
to where your sink
is you have a stainless steel
single base under Mount
Sink with the touchless
handle.
Plus in this kitchen
you have updated appliances
you do have
a KitchenAid dishwasher,
you have a Sub-Zero
fridge, which I mean,
and look at that size of this.
And then over here
you do have a custom
built in as well.
And this one has artistic detail
of like the punched tin work
And you have the Navy
which is consistent
throughout the rest of the kitchen.
When you get to the cabinets,
you're going to notice that this is
a custom hanks cabinet
and then you've got the custom
wood facing
design all the way throughout,
which really brings
a comforting ambiance to the kitchen space
I love it
Lets check out the dining room.
and coming
into your dining room,
you'll notice that you have
these beautiful windows
which does go out to a courtyard,
which is gorgeous,
but we're not checking it out
just yet.
You have to keep watching for that.
If you look at a table space
that's right here, you can fit
a really large table in here.
And have plenty of guests
sitting at one time.
And Carissa
if you think about the whole space
as a whole, you have a sitting room,
you have a kitchen
and you have a formal dining space.
This home was built
so well that
I think they kept the view
and the sunsets in mind.
Imagine just the overall
intimate settings
for those dining experiences,
for your guests
coming into the living environment.
You step down,
the ceilings are raised
in this space,
so it's going to change.
A little bit of the atmosphere
definitely feels more open,
feels more open.
So you have a lot more space.
It's a lot more airy, right.
As you walk in.
Yeah, you feel that it lifts up.
Changes the environment completely.
If you turn your focal points
to the south, you're going to have
those southern views
of the mountains
and then if you could turn your head
towards the east
and you look to see what that window
fills in, you're looking
right at the Sandia Peak.
It's beautiful.
But then you look down
and you have your gorgeous
pool
Right There as well to look out on.
So this is fireplace number two.
They are all wood burning
fireplaces in this home as well.
It's got the beautiful
brick detail
here around in an arch
which is again, that southwest
charm that I think everybody knows
and loves.
Okay.
If you take a few steps back
and you look at this
wall, you're going to notice
They’re very consistent
with the symmetry of their style
and design.
You have the different textures,
the different depths.
When you look at it,
you really can appreciate
how architecturally
appeasing this home is.
It's beautiful.
This home also has a lot of updated
light fixtures as well,
and they're very simplistic
but elegant all at the same time
and adds
a lot of warmth into this space.
But the South Wing
is not done yet for the tour.
We have to check out the en-suite.
Wow, Primary bedroom
Right when you come in
the primary bedroom, I mean,
another thing
I love about this house,
the atmosphere changes
from room to room.
You notice that?
It's pretty cool
Right as you walk in
you're going to have
the third kiva fireplace
with the banco seating
that aligns the window space
that when you turn your head up,
you're going to see
the swimming pool.
It's a private area
and just it just brings
such a tranquil environment
to the space
it does.
And that continues on as you head
into the bathroom here
now, this bathroom does have
a double vanity
stainless steel sinks,
but you can tell that
this is a custom build
because right behind you,
you do have a Roman shower.
You actually take a step down
into your shower
for a very luxurious experience.
Now in here.
You do have your closet
for the primary bedroom,
and you also have a great size
walk in closet, right
on side the primary bedroom
as a secondary closet space.
So let's
go ahead
and check out the North Wing,
see what the rest of the home
has to offer.
So right
as you come into the hallway
space they are pretty consistent
with the Latilla
and the tilla design.
You have your first washroom
space here,
enough space for storage,
double shelves,
you have plenty of lighting.
You have double skylights
for natural lighting
that's coming through the space.
And what I love about the utility room
close it.
Yes.
You don’t have to see it. Quiet!
And just the sound of the
washer and dryer makes.
And you can kind of separate
that from the rest of the home.
And that's important
because you're right
by the other bedrooms in this space.
So you have bedroom, number one,
the windows both face
east and north.
But if you look right outside
the windows, you'll notice
you look out onto the tranquil
open area with trees and greenery,
which also is straight right
alongside of the bonus room,
which we’ll show you in a minute.
Overall, this area brings
a restful, comforting
outdoor environment.
And in guest bedroom
number two,
you do
have, again, a window
that faces west.
So if I was a guest in here,
I would get that beautiful sunset
after we have
that lovely conversation
in the kitchen.
And I
just going to keep watching it
in my private room
as well,
entering the restroom
at the end of the hall,
you are presented
with a three quarter bath
with a white line tile.
There is consistency
with the Viga, Latilla ceilings.
There's a vanity that boasts
of the double talavera
drop in sinks.
Okay, so they're really consistent
with changing the atmosphere
of the space you come in.
It's a totally different experience.
Again,
this is the primary study
of the House.
What I love about it
is they have lighting aligned
through the entire right wall,
which brings a different ambiance
to the space where you can study in.
it does, yeah.
And you almost feel like
you're underground,
but yet not claustrophobic.
So it does create like,
I can get to work,
I can get stuff done.
This is a really cozy environment.
its the focus room.
Yes plus this could be.
I mean, honestly,
it can be anything you want.
If you have young children,
this can actually be a really fun.
Like playroom,
a children's playroom.
We had mentioned too.
If you needed to throw up a wall
and a door,
this could be a possible
fourth bedroom as well.
I really just admire that though.
This place is set up like a study.
It can be used
for so many different purposes.
And if you look over here
right alongside the study space,
you will have an extra bonus room.
This space is not heated and cooled
so it's not included
in the square footage
and it's plenty
of storage space,
this is incredible storage.
And right as you walk through here,
they call this a mud room.
So it's a formalized
mud room for this space.
That's what
they're using it as today.
But if you notice,
there is a drain here
that is functioning.
They have an inside soil bed.
So you can grow
whatever you'd like to grow.
If you're a gardener,
this is probably a great place
to bring some of your plants
indoors for the winter.
Yeah,
you can use it alot of different ways
if you wanted to take make really cute
or you can just make it
totally functional.
you have your three car garage,
I think what we need to do is go
look in the courtyards
and the backyard and this pool area.
Oh, I think we need that
tranquility of the pool right now
Let's get over there right now.
alright Chacon.
Let's check out this
beautiful backyard space.
Wow.
This is stunning.
Stunning was the word
that I was going to use.
You stole that one from me.
So this pool is brand new Gunite
Yes.
It’s got a new heater,
new decking.
So it's been maintained
and very well cared for
yep you got
a new pool cover to automatic
pool cover that goes over the top.
Yeah, we saw them working.
That was really cool, actually.
Very convenient.
Yes.
Plus we were actually noticing
earlier that there's so much privacy
because of the walls
that surround it.
There is like an atmosphere of,
again, intimacy.
I feel like that's the word for
this home. It is the word for this home.
It's such a relaxing environment.
This is one of those
atmospheres that you are
living in relaxation.
It does feel tranquil
all the way throughout.
I really give them a lot of kudos
for creating such
a space where you can relax in.
if you notice
how the walls
are built up
all the way around, it's so private.
But right now you hear the thunder
that's going off
and it's
echoing off the walls
it’s reverbing and it's beautiful,
absolutely beautiful.
And so now your backyard gives you
the perfect view of those sunrises
over the Sandias
there's one space left
that we haven't shared yet.
Okay, that space gives you
the best view of the sunset.
Yes, it does.
We need to go
look at that space right now.
All right.
So coming out
to the courtyard space,
we were surprised
with a very steady rain.
Yes.
In Albuquerque, New Mexico,
it does rain in the desert.
This is proof right here behind us.
So whats really exciting
about this space
is you have plenty of
room to sit around.
There is some concrete padding
along with a walkway
that leads all the way
through the front courtyard space.
The courtyard is
a very large courtyard.
Yes.
And this house also
has beautiful, mature,
producing apple trees
that have such an amazing like
I don't know,
you just look at it
and it has this warmth
when you see the beautiful trees.
And I'm sure
when it's blossoming, too,
and you get that color,
on your tree
and it's beautiful to look at.
It has plenty of greenery
surrounding you have rose bushes,
you have all different types.
There's some crepe
myrtles over there.
You also have some columbines
and some honeysuckle in that area.
Its beautiful
and the exterior
of the home maintains
that Southwest charm as well.
You have a beautiful gate
as you come in.
That's a newer gate
that's been added to the property.
The exterior does have the exposed vigas.
you still have a similar header
that you can see inside as well.
It does have that Southwest charm
outside of all the way in.
Absolutely.
And you could see right now
during the sunset
what we were talking about,
the ambiance,
the front space of that room.
That's all being seen
from the back of the house
Right now. Right.
And because your window has
you have a lot of west facing
windows, it's getting that warm
gold light in right there.
And as you can tell,
we're not getting rained on.
So you do have a little patio
that you can sit under as well
while you watch the sun go down.
It's absolutely stunning out here.
It is so nice.
Isn’t that the word we started with with this house
inviting, intimate, stunning,
Lots of words to describe this house.
Yes, there is
Alright what is happening right now
Is just insane.
You can see behind us
you've got this double rainbow
over the house with the red
apple tree.
It's a great way to end off
this video, isn't it?
It Is.

do, it's so beautiful

to see it yourself.
