Property Description

Originally built as the model home by Tiara Homes--one of Albuquerque's finest and longest-standing custom builders--this is a beautifully maintained residence in the gated La Cueva community. Thoughtful design, solid craftsmanship, and energy-conscious construction quietly make everyday life easier and more enjoyable.Natural light and views shape the experience from the moment you enter. The living room features a graceful curved wall with four large vertical windows, plus three elevated square windows near the entry, creating exceptional brightness and a distinctive architectural feel. Raised wood-beam ceilings and a gas fireplace add warmth, while an open breakfast bar keeps the kitchen connected to the living space.The layout thoughtfully separates private and shared areas. The main-level primary suite sits apart from the two upstairs bedrooms, giving natural privacy. Three windows follow the curved wall of the primary bedroom, filling it with soft light. The spacious walk-in closet includes extensive built-in storage along two walls. The primary bath offers dual vanities with hotel-style double-sided magnifying mirrors, a jetted tub set against a refined glass-block corner wall, a separate walk-in shower with a built-in seat for added comfort and ease, and a privately enclosed toilet room.The kitchen pairs quality with everyday usefulness--abundant solid-wood cabinetry, generous storage, and an open breakfast bar overlooking the living area. Refrigerator, microwave, gas range/oven, and dishwasher from well-regarded brands are included, along with the washer and dryer in the dedicated laundry room. A half bath is located just past the laundry room on the main level.One of the home's most practical advantages is its expansive outdoor space that wraps roughly 270 degrees around the house--an unusual feature in this community. In addition to the front entry, one access opens from the living area to the patio, and another connects the laundry room directly to the garage. Family and friends can enjoy the outdoors while household routines continue undisturbed, and children or pets move easily between inside and outside.Upstairs, the two bedrooms are positioned for privacy. East-facing windows capture views of the Sandia Mountains and morning sunrises. A large rectangular window at the end of the staircase frames blue skies, drifting clouds, and evening sunsets. Operable skylights bring in extra daylight and natural ventilation, while built-in shelving along the hallway offers useful storage and display space.The home has been exceptionally well cared for, with two refrigerated-air units (2023), a new furnace (2022), updated copper plumbing connection fittings throughout (2025), a new garage door opener (2025), and roof modifications that discourage pigeons from nesting.Walking distance to top-rated Dennis Chavez Elementary, Desert Ridge Middle, and La Cueva High. A community gate leads directly to a large, beautiful park with sweeping western views of Albuquerque. Trails, shopping (including Trader Joe's), and major routes such as I-25 are close by.Originally created as a model home, 8201 combines architectural character, abundant natural light, beautiful views, privacy, quality craftsmanship, and an unusually functional indoor-outdoor layout. It is a home designed not simply to look good, but to make the rhythm of everyday life feel lighter and more pleasant. Come experience it in person.
