Overview
Description
Supplements: ... (Read more) Tucked away in a quiet pocket of the city, this inviting property offers more than just a place to liveit offers a lifestyle rooted in community, sustainability, and creative potential. Just beyond the backyard lies a "secret garden"a city-owned space lovingly tended by neighbors as a shared haven for vegetable gardens, orchards, and peaceful retreat. Access is private, with the only entrance through a neighbor's property, making the space completely cut off from public use. The current owner covers the water, allowing this special area to flourish year-round. The home itself is rich with character, its design elements and artistic touches reminiscent of the work of Mary Elizabeth Jane Colterthe pioneering architect and designer behind many iconic Southwest spaces. Colter's legacy, including her contributions to the Indian Building at the Alvarado Hotel in Albuquerque and landmark works for the Fred Harvey Company and Santa Fe Railroad, shines through in the blend of Spanish Colonial Revival, Native American motifs, and rustic Southwestern elements seen here. The seller of 809 Ridgecrest SE suspects that the Van Deusens likely moved in the same social circles as other prominent members of Albuquerque's high society in the early 1900s, which was common among well-established families of the time. Given their position and the era, it's also believed that the Van Deusens may have been influenceddirectly or indirectlyby the work of Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter, whose distinctive architectural style helped shape the aesthetic of the Southwest during that period. Inside, the home features a primary bedroom with an unfinished en-suite bathroom, already plumbed, plastered and toilet area framed in, and ready to be finished however the buyer imaginesoffering a unique chance to put your creative stamp on the space. To support the next owner, the seller is offering generous concessions with an acceptable offer including: 1. Sanding and refinishing of the floors 2. Professional deep cleaning 3. A pallet of Saltillo tile for outdoor concrete areas. This home is more than just a propertyit's a canvas, a sanctuary, and a piece of the Southwest's evolving story. It's ideal for someone ready to not just live in it, but to engage with it, shape it, and grow alongside it.
