And the Winner Is... (the real, for sure, one)*


6 Puerto Court!!!
I know. NONE of you voted for it.
Because it's a bit shabby in the current pics. I understand. Really, I do. This is all about the potential.

Actually, these pics are from the last time it sold, before it was abandoned for nearly a year and left to languish. And be invaded by mice.
I should mention that the whole "get rid of the mice smell" thing is in the offer.

But after that, some paint, some landscaping and some love ought to shine it up again.
Oh, and a refrigerator.
Who takes a refrigerator when they move?? Taking votes now on THE refrigerator to buy. And yes, in three to four years, we'll likely leave it behind. After all, who takes a refrigerator when they move? Yeah.

No, you're not seeing double. This is the master bedroom. The great room kiva fireplace has saltillo tile, the master kiva fireplace has carpet. (Soiled, nasty, soon to go.) They've done funky things with the shades in this pic, but the view above? Right out these windows, too.
I'm fantasizing about one of those four-poster beds right now. Oh yeah. A collection for my birthday, maybe? Only 29 shopping days left!

Okay, I know it's fatuous to show a picture of the master walk-in closet.
But lookee!!

I've ALWAYS wanted one. Always, always, always. I'm like the woman in Broadcast News who converted her guest room into a closet. Only I didn't. Still, I understand the urge.

SO ready to fill those nooks. Once the mouse-smell is gone. Did I mention the mouse smell? No no no.
And master bath. Needs work, alas. No, Felicia, I didn't get the house with the fab tub. There is a tub, but it's beensie. WHAT are they thinking?? But, the bath is huge and we're thinking remodel dollars here. I'm seeing tile surround. I'm seeing sunken tub. I'm seeing glassed-in shower. Ask me again in two years, k?





Guest bath. Decent, eh? No good pics of guest bedrooms. Very blah. We'll work on them. But come visit anyway!!

Big move now scheduled for August 14. Taking visitor reservations after that. We promise quiet, big skies, sunsets and coyotes yipping at night. You provide the rest.


Yippee-kay-aye!
*Oops, actually not! See later posts for news that Glorieta won with a last-minute nose across the line!

  3. It has LOTS of potential! And once you get it fixed up - it'll be great. LOVE LOVE LOVE that closet. I'm a pea-green with envy!

    Move day is coming up fast, isn't it? Man and I talked about going to Santa Fe (or Hot Springs) this Fall - maybe we come visit? :D
