Expansive views - Sandia Mountains, sparkling city lights and seasonal hot-air balloons - create a memorable backdrop for this distinctive Rio Rancho home on 0.57 acres. Inside, soaring ceilings, arched niches and warm wood accents frame light-filled spaces, with two living areas and a separate dining area offering room to gather or spread out. The updated kitchen pairs granite countertops, newer cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances with bar seating, a built-in wine rack and an adjoining, southeast-facing breakfast nook. Four bedrooms include a spacious primary suite with tall windows, wood-look tile, generous closet space and a private bath with a jetted tub and separate shower. A full guest bath and powder room provide added convenience and radiant floor heating provides added comfort to the rest of the home. Outside, an extensive covered portal overlooks terraced desert landscaping, while a three-car garage and a storage shed add everyday practicality. Distinctive architecture and room to breathe make this a special place to enjoy New Mexico living!
