Set on two fully fenced, half-acre lots, this beautifully maintained Placitas property offers space, privacy, and versatility in a move-in-ready home. The 1,519 sq ft residence (single story/no steps) features 3 bedrooms, 1¾ baths, no carpet, and a welcoming living area with wood-beamed ceilings and a large fireplace. The updated kitchen includes quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, while the primary suite offers a spacious walk-in closet and updated bath. An attached 2-car garage provides plenty of room for vehicles and storage, while the detached heated and cooled 1-car garage could easily serve as a studio, office, or workshop. The gated, landscaped grounds include drip irrigation, ten rain barrels, two storage sheds, and an additional attached carport all overlooking a terrific Sandia Mountain view. A private well with 3-acre feet of water rights, video security system, smart thermostat, water softener, newer furnace & water heater, and new washer and dryer add to the convenience. All appliances convey and most furnishings negotiable.  A rare combination of thoughtful updates, usable land, and exceptional care.
