### North Valley Mid Century Modern Retreat

We hope you’ll enjoy this charming mid-century modern retreat in Albuquerque’s quiet and tree-filled north valley. Whether you're here for Balloon Fiesta, Old Town, or visits to historical sites, this home offers a quiet yet central location for your home base. When Art Dekker designed this home in 1954, it was clear he was influenced by the Usonian designs of Frank Lloyd Wright. The home is filled with details like hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, beamed tongue-and-groove ceilings and built-ins in every room. Lovely refreshed landscaping features a large, private flagstone patio on the south side for morning sun, and a small, quiet patio on the leafy north side for afternoon shade. The property is at once simple and complex and will provide a relaxing home base for you as you explore all Albuquerque has to offer. There is is plenty of parking in the driveway and behind the home, as well as on the quiet, dead-end street.  
  
Albuquerque’s North Valley is a hidden gem that offers a rural feel in the heart of the metro area. The Rio Grande Nature Center Preserve and State Park provide access to the Rio Grande bosque and are within walking distance (less than a mile). At the end of our street you’ll also find access to the shady acequia trail along the Duranes lateral. Local casual dining favorites Flying Star Cafe, The Range Cafe and El Patio are 1.5 miles away, and the La Montanita Co-op is just a quick 10-minute walk for any last-minute grocery needs.  
  
The kitchen is fully updated and includes all the appliances, cooking equipment and utensils you’ll need for your stay. The bathrooms retain their vintage charm but are in good working order. The home has central heat and refrigerated air, as well as a wood-burning fireplace (with plenty of firewood) and a gas grill on the north patio.  
  
The Main Bedroom and Bedroom 2 have queen beds. Bedroom 3 has a modern queen sofa bed that is comfortable, but low to the ground (make sure to review the photos). It is best for kids or teens. If you don't need the bed and would rather use the room for listening to records (which is how we use it), we'll leave it in sofa mode.   
  
The home is on one level, with no interior or exterior steps.  
  
Guests will not have access to the attached or detached garages. Custom blinds and draperies provide complete privacy as desired. We thank you for refraining from smoking in the house or on the property.

Jennifer was a fantastic host and her home was beyond our expectations. She was very responsive and made us feel welcomed. A perfect place for the 4 of us during our 3 day stay in Albuquerque. We felt very ‘at home’ amongst the beautiful vibe of this unique house. Provided a retreat for us for our leisurely mornings and relaxing evenings. The location is quiet and in a convenient spot for Old Town, restaurants, walking, and an easy route to the Balloon Festival. I highly recommend staying here. We hope to return someday.

Wonderful location we were able to move around the city without accessing I40\. The retro feel & decor of the home was very appealing & the art used in the home was well done & very interesting. Would love to stay in this home when we return to Albuquerque. The home was clean & well prepared for our stay.

We booked our trip to see the hot air balloon fiesta, but this VRBO would have been a worthy destination all by itself. If you like mid-century modern architecture, design, music, and art, you'll find it all here. We loved our stay there and hope we can do it again one day!

 We enjoyed the artwork ,bookcollection and mid century decor. It was okay but 3 bedrooms plus cot and sofa to sleep on was misleading. Bed on the floor in 1 bedroom should have been on a frame. 2 people would had to sleep on a cot or the sofa and was uncomfortable.
