If beholding blazing sunsets above the Mt. Taylor skyline, from your upstairs kitchen, living room or dining room, night after night, doesn't drop your jaw, then this home is probably not for you.If watching the full moon rise over Sandia Crest, while being serenaded by a coyote choir, doesn't give you goose bumps, then this home is probably not for you.If hiking the Pino Canyon Trail to the Sandia Peak ridge crest from the front door of your residence is something you'd never consider doing, then this home is probably not for you.If you prefer sitting in front of a flat screen TV, with the remote in your hand, to sitting with friends around an outdoor fire pit, with a local craft beer in your hand, then this house is probably not for you.If you determine that this home probably IS right for you, bear in mind that, as the original owner, it has been meticulously maintained, with a file cabinet of all maintenance and repair records; and is turnkey/move-in ready.
