Property Description

Authentic Southwestern character, approximately 2,200 square feet of flexible single-level living, multiple gathering spaces, and wonderful indoor-outdoor connections come together at this truly distinctive Western Area home. Welcome to 1463 40th Street! From the moment you arrive, this home feels different. A covered entry framed by graceful Southwestern arches leads to a beautiful carved wood front door, while mature trees and the home's warm stucco exterior create an inviting first impression. Step inside and the architectural character immediately takes center stage. Rich wood details, exposed beams, vigas, built-ins, and uniquely finished doors give the home a warmth and personality rarely found in more conventional floor plans. One of the home's most memorable spaces is the expansive living room, where a dramatic wood-beamed ceiling rises overhead and a substantial fireplace anchors the room. Large windows bring in natural light, while the surrounding woodwork and Southwestern detailing create a comfortable gathering space with unmistakable character. A second generous living area provides even more room to relax or entertain and features another fireplace along with a wood-burning stove, giving the home multiple cozy spaces to enjoy throughout the year. The kitchen blends original character with thoughtful updates. Natural wood cabinetry is complemented by stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, an updated sink and lighting, and a distinctive patterned tile backsplash. A breakfast bar adds casual seating, while the adjoining dining space creates an easy connection for everyday meals and entertaining. A separate laundry room adds practical convenience. Two comfortable bedrooms are joined by a flexible north-side bonus room that works beautifully as an office, studio, hobby room, or potential additional bedroom. Both bathrooms have been refreshed, including one with a custom-tiled walk-in shower and another with a newly tiled tub/shower surround, updated fixtures, and a new vanity. Throughout the home, a series of thoughtful spaces and architectural details make the floor plan particularly interesting. Large windows connect many rooms to the surrounding trees, while covered exterior areas extend the living space outdoors. The backyard offers multiple places to relax, garden, or entertain, including two patios and a spacious covered patio stretching along the rear of the home. Xeriscaping, herb and perennial gardens, mature trees, and flagstone pathways add texture and character to the outdoor spaces. Recent improvements include interior and exterior paint, updated hardware and lighting, a new water heater, upgraded electrical breakers, PVC plumbing in the crawl space, and a new roof over the kitchen extension. Two driveways and a covered carport provide valuable off-street parking. With approximately 2,200 square feet, two bedrooms plus a flexible bonus room, two living areas, multiple fireplaces, extensive outdoor living space, mature landscaping, and architectural details that celebrate classic Southwestern style, 1463 40th Street offers an opportunity to own a Los Alamos home with genuine personality and character.
