About This Home

As of January 2016

Custom Los Alamos country home on a quiet back corner of town! This cozy home has a rustic ranch feel with a superb ambiance, and is closely situated to downtown Los Alamos. Built in 1942, the home features all newer dual pane windows throughout, one of a kind vertical grain wood floors, artist built stone hearth with a Jotul stove, skylights and newer carpet. Nicely landscaped grounds with custom fencing and gates create a unique feel. The property includes enclosures for dogs and chickens and a large area for RV or boat parking. There is an apple, nectarine, and almond tree with surrounding oaks and native plants that provide privacy. Possibly a vacation rental?
