About 723 Marquette Avenue Nw
Historic character, creative spirit and a genuinely walkable Downtown lifestyle come together in this beautifully curated home just west of Albuquerque's urban core. Thick walls, high ceilings, oak floors, original exposed brick and abundant natural light preserve the home's history, while thoughtful renovations make it remarkably comfortable for modern living. Even original doors have been upcycled as closet doors, adding character in unexpected places.At the heart of the home is a chef's kitchen with a generous island offering abundant storage, workspace and seating. Just outside, a private flagstone patio creates an intimate extension of the kitchen for outdoor dining or morning coffee. Metal-clad wood windows, radiant heat and updated systems add substance behind the charm. The spacious primary bath features a large walk-in shower and double sinks.A custom spiral staircase leads to flexible upstairs space for a studio, office, exercise or guest room. And unlike many historic homes, storage is plentiful, including a detached workshop with electrical service.The expansive, fully enclosed grounds are a rarity this close to Downtown, with irrigated gardens, a koi pond, multiple outdoor living areas and a commissioned mural by local artists. Gated off-street parking for two vehicles adds another hard-to-find urban convenience.Walk to coffee shops, restaurants, parks, Downtown Growers' Market and the heart of Downtown, with Old Town, Sawmill, the Bosque and airport all within easy reach. Historic, artistic and wonderfully individual, this is urban Albuquerque living with room to breathe.
