1009 Adams Street SE

Where 1948 character meets thoughtful modern design. This distinctive Albuquerque home has been extensively improved with an intentional eye toward preserving the personality and craftsmanship that make an older home special. Original details remain throughout, while renovated kitchen, bathrooms and laundry spaces introduce custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, porcelain stoneware tile, upgraded appliances and a gourmet range. Signed murals by a local artist bring an unexpected creative element to the dining room, while two working fireplaces add warmth and character.Behind the design is an equally impressive list of infrastructure improvements. Updates include upgraded windows throughout, a new sewer line from the home to the city connection, replaced electrical service with an upgraded PNM pole, electrical line and panels, and extensive electrical and plumbing improvements. Exterior insulation board beneath new stucco adds insulation to the home's block construction, while blown-in attic insulation and insulated crawl-space plumbing further improve the home's envelope.Comfort is exceptionally well considered with four-zone baseboard heating powered by a boiler system, plus a heat pump providing heating and refrigerated air, an integrated air filtration system, humidification on the heat setting and newer attic ductwork. Additional improvements include an upgraded seamless gutter system, newer roof, upgraded garage doors with a new opener, sealed garage floor, built-in storage, bike pulley system and built-in safe.
