809 Ridgecrest Dr SE, Albuquerque, NM 87108

Nestled in Albuquerque's Ridgecrest neighborhood, this Spanish Mediterranean estate is a rare blend of history, craftsmanship, and lush gardens on two large lots. Built by Wright and Katherine Van Deusen, the home features plastered adobe walls, custom red oak floors, original hardware, and custom metalwork. A Chapel Library, stained glass accents, and a gun port in the front door add to its charm. The Secret Garden, like Hidden Park, offers sustainable living with fruit trees, while the sunken rose garden(turtle sanctuary), koi pond, and 100-year-old honeysuckle vines flourish among two towering Lacy Bark Elms. Thoughtfully updated with new HVAC, sewer line, and plumbing, this home calls for a creative owner--someone who will not just live in it, but engage with and evolve alongside it.
