Description

At 17 Valerio Road, you’ll find a calm, quiet, and impressive home in an ideal location. This two-story adobe home stands as a reflection of Ranchos history (talk to a local and they’ll say it’s “always been there”) with architectural elements that echo the nearby historic plaza and church, from its buttresses to its thick, hand-formed adobe walls. Features include warm adobe plaster walls, poured adobe floors, and viga and latilla ceilings throughout. Arched doorways soften each transition from room to room, while antique and mesquite doors (including a distinctive mesquite “jail” door in the upstairs bath) add character. Artist Micheal Tracy’s teak wood details can be found both inside and out! The thick adobe construction naturally regulates temperature, cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and is enhanced by hot water radiant floor heating throughout the entire home and four working kivas. The south-facing entry portal acts as a passive solar “heater,” capturing sunlight during colder months and releasing it into the living room or kitchen by the opening of a door! Walkout of the sunroom into a fully walled, private courtyard finished in brick. A convenient space next to the home serves as a great potting storage. The main level kitchen has copper countertops, hand plastered walls, nichos, and a dining area. A remodeled full bathroom downstairs features real hardwood floors, a deep soaking tub, and a unique passthrough window perfect for a drink to be handed through! Two bedrooms sit on either side of the bathroom, both featuring kiva fireplaces. Upstairs, the home offers flexibility. Designed to function as a stand-alone living space if desired, it includes its own kitchen and full bathroom. Currently set up as the primary suite, is is complete with radiant heated floors, deep-set window wells that reflect classic New Mexican design, and access to a massive second-story balcony. From here, enjoy sweeping views of the Ranchos Valley, and marmalade sunsets over the mountains. You'll also find the third bedroom upstairs along with a bonus room that could easily serve as a home office, art studio, or creative space. Additional details include a cedar-lined built-in closet upstairs, locally crafted lighting over the balcony, and custom wood doors throughout the home. Washer and dryer? Not to worry, this home comes with all the modern conveniences you should expect. A full laundry closet can be found on the main level with easy access from both the primary suite and the two downstairs bedrooms. Lovingly maintained, the current owner has spared no expense. Stucco and roof were redone in 2019, downstairs bathroom remodeled, adobe packed floors resealed, driveway graveled and leveled, living room adobe walls re-plastered, and a privacy adobe wall built around the newly laid brick patio. The home is connected to natural gas and El Valle sewer, saving on heating bills and eliminating septic headaches. Want a tour of this beautiful home?
