    About this Property

    Nestled on an oversized lot bordering the town greenbelt, this beautifully updated Madrid cabin blends historic character with thoughtful modern enhancements. The expanded country kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring open shelving, butcher-block counters, and a generous center island ideal for gourmet cooking and entertaining. The updated bathroom offers a luxurious soaking tub, and much of the home's original hardwood flooring has been lovingly preserved. A heated sunroom provides a bright, welcoming living space, while one of the bedrooms showcases classic English wainscoting that adds to the home's timeless charm. The main bedroom opens onto a private porch overlooking the greenbelt--an ideal spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The property also includes a versatile detached studio complete with a sink, woodstove, private porch, and an additional bathroom ready for activation. Perfect for artists, guests, or a home office. Outside, enjoy views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains from the landscaped yard, with direct access to the greenbelt leading to a 40-acre county open space--perfect for hiking and exploring. Residents of Madrid also share ownership of the historic Madrid Ballpark, the first lighted ballpark in North America and still a vibrant hub for community events and tournaments. Located within easy walking distance of Madrid's general store, restaurants, coffee shop, and galleries, this home offers a rare blend of privacy, character, and walkable village living. Convenient access to both Albuquerque and Santa Fe completes the package, making this a truly special opportunity in the heart of Madrid.
