Vintage charm & modern comforts near Old Town

Enjoy this north valley bungalow with vintage charm but with all the modern comforts from home. This stylish home that's centrally located to all the most popular Albuquerque hot spots, named "Desert Lilac", gives you all the New Mexico vibes you've come to love. With it being less than a mile to Old Town shopping, restaurants, wine bars, and breweries, you'll appreciate the proximity to everything while having a quiet yet secluded place to retreat.

The whole house has beautiful hardwood floors throughout, two full size bathrooms, a kitchen with all the essentials and granite countertops, as well as a full size washer and dryer. The "Pinon" room is warm and inviting with neutral tones, lots of natural light, smart TV, and a King size bed with brand new mattress, bedding, and sheets. The "Prickly Pear" room gives you a taste of one of the local's favorite cacti and includes a smart TV and a queen size bed with brand new mattress, bedding, and sheets. All bedrooms have charging stations available at the bedside tables. Lastly, the brand new comfy sectional in the living room folds out to create a full size bed for the accommodations of two additional guests. Brand new pillows, sheets, and bedding are provided. The living room also includes LED remote-controlled candles in the fireplace for ambiance, puzzles for downtime fun, and a large smart TV for logging in and watching all your favorite streaming services.

Our newest addition is our Casita! This 3rd bedroom that sleeps two additional guests with a queen bed, is a free standing villa with it's own exterior entrance from the back yard and gardens. It comes complete with an additional full size en suite bathroom and seating area.

The dining room is spacious with a table for 4 guests - with 2 added chairs available for a total seating for 6. A workspace and desk is available in the main living space for working remotely or virtual learning with Wifi. The front screened-in porch and covered back patio are available for relaxing in the shade or on a cool evening.

This home has been recently upgraded from a swamp cooler (popular in the Southwest) to brand new refrigerated air units in each living space with your own remote control settings for the comfort of your guests.

This home includes a dedicated driveway and tandem parking that could fit two vehicles. There's also plenty of free street parking right in front of the home as well.

Opened the front door to such a clean, beautifully decorated home. The host was very accomodating, including an early check in. We were in town for a concert, and truly enjoyed our stay here. If we ever come to Albuquerque again, would definately look up this gem!

What a lovely, clean, and cozy space! We loved the close proximity to Sawmill Market and Old Town! We also had no trouble navigating to the balloon fiesta. Our hosts were kind and easy to communicate with. We would stay here again!

The property was clean. AC had some issues and the washing machine was so noisy you had to go outside when it was running. Not a very good area of Albuquerque.

Vintage feel with modern conviniences

We spent a long weekend at this house, and it was just perfect for my family of 4 and my grandparents. The house was very centrally located. Right off the freeway and close to everything! My grandparents were able to stay in the casita and have privacy away from my rambunctious boys. There were still some vintage pieces with a nice blend of modern. The yard was a nice size and well maintained, and so pretty to look out the kitchen window. There were a few hiccups, but the owners were always available, and responses were so fast. There were a few things, they wouldn't stop me from staying there again. the tub in the main house could go for a refresh. The pull-out couch is listed as sleeping 2, but my 12 year old son was the only one that fit on there to sleep, there is no way 2 adults could sleep on there. I would still highly recommend this house as well as the hosts ,

Bungalow in Old Town

Five of our family enjoyed staying in your beautiful house, 3 minutes from historic Old Town. So clean, tidy, and full of extras! Peaceful, and secure. The beds were better than our home! Please consider eye coverage for a deeper sleep because of lights from the street. Perhaps black out shades in the future? That would be my only suggestion. Enjoy!
