A true gem in the lovely 2500 Central community, nestled in the pines but right downtown! Homes such as this don't come along often: views of the Jemez, relatively new construction and quality finishes-- all walkable to the library, Ashley Pond, cafes, and more. Enjoy the outdoors from the low maintenance deck or the shaded, landscaped patio with water feature and pretty views. Inside, find an open floorplan with a gourmet kitchen (complete with center island, breakfast area, large pantry, granite slab countertops, stainless appliances), dining and living room with high ceilings and fireplace--- all with abundant natural light and views to the west. The luxurious master suite includes a spacious bathroom with separate tub/shower, double vanity, and large walk in closet. The guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom also offers large walk in closet and direct patio access. Other special features: large laundry room with sink, gorgeous wood floors, retractable skylights, built in speakers, 'whole house fan' in kitchen, in floor radiant heat, and heated garage with workbench and nice cabinets-- along with brand new carpeting, kitchen tile, and dishwasher. This home is unique from others in the neighborhood with three bedrooms (one on main level-- can also be a home office), a bonus room, and lots of extra storage space including a gated storage area outside garage. This is low maintenance, elegant and easy living at its best!
