Barelas House | Private modern hideaway in downtown Albuquerque.

2 Bedroom House in Barelas, Albuquerque

Stylish and centrally located, Barelas House is a newly constructed “casa moderna” in the historic barrio that was settled by the Spanish in 1662. Enter and you are greeted by oversized sliding doors that integrate the courtyard with the spacious living/dining spaces. Two generous sized bed rooms bookend the house and feature custom cabinetry for closet/storage space. Eco-friendly with the 3.3kw grid-tied solar array and EV car charger. Local art adorns the walls. This place is near everything.
The space
This spectacular home has the feel of a midcentury classic with a variety of influences from the postwar Case Study program.
Thoughtful window placement with well-designed coverings and high fencing around the perimeter contribute to the feeling of privacy despite the property’s location in a bustling urban area.
The home celebrates the materials used to compose it: scored concrete floors, stainless steel kitchen counter tops, custom fabricated doors of steel and plastic, and metal exterior cladding.
Each room has unique, locally made, glass mosaic art pieces. The selections were made by the host and the artist to complement the décor and create a modern arts and crafts feel.
Lighting options have not been overlooked in any part of this space. From natural to artificial, the guest has complete control of creating just the right ambiance any time of day.
Entering from the private courtyard one is greeted by a high ceiling, natural light, storage, and two choices.
Left, takes you into the front room with ample natural light, a comfortable queen-sized bed, and small work area with surge protection, task light, and chair. This room has private access to the side yard, and two large doors that can be closed to increase privacy, or open to the flow of this modern space. Playing with these doors alters the feeling of this space significantly.
Right, allows access to the remainder of the home which includes access to the patio sitting area, a cozy living space, kitchen and eating area, utilities, bathroom, and king-sized master bedroom.
Pause to take in the space.
The 12-foot glass wall is your main access point to the side yard. It is comfortable with a sitting area on custom concrete pads, and a small gas grill for your use. The sliding doors, and the light they let in, can be infinitely adjusted with custom vertical blinds.
The living space is very comfortable with many choices for lounging, or viewing your favorite show on the 65-inch HD TV. The Bose sound bar can be connected via Bluetooth, and used to broadcast just the right music to complement your experience.
The kitchen offers high end stainless appliances, contemporary cabinetry, and a full complement of kitchen tools to prepare meals with an eating area that is just as capable as a hangout space.
Continuing through the kitchen one gains access to the rest of the house. The hallway contains a group of four macro photographs with New Mexico nature as the subject, and the homes utilities tucked behind another tall custom fabricated door.
The bathroom with its modern styling is both utilitarian and inviting. Light and color blend with steel, concrete, and tile to create a space that is efficient and luxurious.
The master bedroom boasts a comfortable king-sized bed, ample storage, a small sitting area, and a full-length mirror. Again, there is private side yard access.
This place is all about creating your own vibe. Play with it. Have fun!
Guest access
Your safety and privacy are of the utmost importance.
Therefore, a locked gate is guarding access to the private entrance. This gate is locked with a key. The key is in a lockbox on the property. The location of the lockbox and code will be provided in the check-in instructions.
A smart lock is securing the front door of the house which is inside the private courtyard. Instructions and access code will be in the check-in instructions.
There is also a Ring camera and a motion detecting floodlight at the front of the house for added security.
As a guest you will have full access to the entire property. The upper kitchen cabinets are locked to contain the cleaner’s supplies, and additional linens.
Should you need access to additional supplies please reach out to me.
However, the home is well appointed, and you should have all that you need under normal circumstances.
Other things to note
I provide a starter set of consumables that includes:
- two rolls of paper towels
- two rolls of toilet paper
- two boxes of facial tissue
- one new sealed sponge
- one freshly laundered kitchen towel
- one disposable kitchen rag
- a range of cleaning supplies, broom, mop, and vacuum
- dish soap
- dishwasher detergent
- laundry detergent
Coffee is provided with whole beans, grinder, drip coffee maker, filters, and French press for those that like taking their coffee to the next level.
Green tea is also provided along with single serving cream and sugar.
In the kitchen olive oil, spray oil, waxed paper, foil, salt and pepper are provided.
There is a Britta filter in the refrigerator, and trash and recycling are on the property.
Additional food items and condiments are removed after each stay in the quest to keep the home as sanitary as possible.
Additional maid service is available upon request for longer stays.
Check out is easy...
Just load, and run the dishwasher. (This is a big help to the cleaners.)
Sign out of any streaming services for your own protection.
Please lock the bedroom doors, put the sticks back in the sliding door tracks, and lock the front door as you leave.
Lock the gate behind you, and replace the gate key in the lockbox.
Scrambling the code after closing the lockbox hatch secures the lockbox.
