About 11940 Pino Avenue Ne
Think you need to live in the mountains to own a mountain retreat? Think again. This home gives you mountain-town atmosphere with North Albuquerque Acres foothills convenience, combining traditional Southwestern style with rich wood, rustic stacked stone, and the warm, relaxed feeling of a private mountain get-away. And with the Sandias right outside your window, you get the lodge atmosphere without leaving Albuquerque.
Built by the current owners in 2018 with distinctive custom finishes and flexible spaces inside and out, this home brings plenty of personality to an open, comfortable floor plan. Slate-inspired tile flooring runs through much of the home, while reclaimed wood with turquoise inlay, poured-concrete countertops, under-cabinet lighting and a wood-burning fireplace add warmth and character. The kitchen is spacious, with both natural gas and electric cooking options, a large pantry and plenty of workspace. Guest bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, while the Primary Suite features a private sitting area, separated from the sleeping area by a pony wall with a tv-lift built in, a walk-in closet with a hidden fire-resistant safe space, and a spa-inspired bath with soaking tub, dual sinks, and a walk-through shower with two shower heads. Two refrigerated-air units and central forced-air heat provide year-round comfort.
Outside, the .89-acre property offers a mix of lawn and Southwestern gravel landscaping, with a large, covered patio, rain barrels, raised garden beds, established fruit trees including white peach, apple, Asian pear and cherry, plus a couple of livestock pens.
An attached 3-car garage is joined by a detached 2 car garage/workshop, providing exceptional space for vehicles, projects, hobbies and storage. A separate 600-square-foot guest house adds even more flexibility for extended stays, working from home, creative space, or however life evolves.
Imagine your favorite mountain lodge. Make this your home, and you never have to check out!
