Property Description

Southern New Mexico Home for Sale

Welcome to this well-cared-for one-owner home in the heart of Las Cruces, offering comfort, thoughtful updates, and a backyard that truly stands out. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home features 1,096 sq ft, a 1-car garage, and a functional layout enhanced by fresh interior paint, updated ceiling fans, and energy-efficient double pane windows throughout. The dining area is filled with natural light thanks to a newly added window, while the exterior showcases recent stucco repairs and fresh paint for clean, inviting curb appeal.

Step outside to a backyard designed for everyday enjoyment, complete with open views, a spacious covered porch, lush grass, a dedicated gardening area, and a stunning self-contained pondless water feature. A professionally installed water system services both the front and backyard, and two storage options—a work shed and an additional storage shed—offer flexibility for hobbies, tools, or extra space.

Recent improvements provide peace of mind, including a roof replaced approximately 8 years ago, an air conditioning unit replaced about 2 years ago, and a water heater replaced in 2025. Additional updates include all new double pane windows, new interior paint, dining room repainting (2023–2024), new ceiling fans installed in 2025, a newly added dining room window, and fresh gravel in the front yard. Some photos may include virtual staging.
