Designed by renowned architect Art Dekker and showcased in the 2019 ABQ Mid Mod Tour of Homes, it features Scandinavian/Southwest décor and 1970s vibes. Enjoy a private room/bathroom plus shared den/library, great room/dining area, kitchen and outdoor seating areas with high desert views. Javi the 4-lb chihuahua is the resident docent and loves snuggles and treats.

I’m happy to spend time with my guests or give them space
I’m a native New Mexican and retired public health professional who now spends time volunteering, teaching English as a second language, and carefully maintaining and curating midcentury experiences in my historic midmod property. I also love hiking, running, and spending time outdoors, thrifting, photography, traveling internationally, and making deep and meaningful connections with people.
