Overview
Description
One of Albuquerque's most historic houses on the market for the first time EVER!
Original family of the original owners/builders have kept it since the construction in 1897. The house, and then accompanying Mercantile store, were the very beginning and gateway into Albuquerque's Historic Sawmill & Industrial district and continuing on to Old Town Albuquerque!
This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home was redone and expanded in the late 1980's, and again recently, only to keep up with modern amenities and safeties.
The home has so many original touches historic all in their own regard and beautifully kept together. The second dwelling, old Mercantile shop, has been converted to an artists dream studio.
With huge potential and a historic past, this property has it all!

This unique, historical and one-of-a-kind property (location! location! location!) is offered for sale as a residential or business property, or both! This 0.52 acre property with its historic Southwest-Victorian Style home on the highly identifiable corner that is the gateway to Sawmill district and the industries surrounding it as well as the Wells Park neighborhood! Located just south of I-40, the home is very close to Old Town Albuquerque, the historic Downtown Albuquerque and the modern Indian Pueblo Cultural Center.
The home has been carefully inspected, filed, and re-zoned to R-MH! This allows the Historic House, the casita/workshop, and the whole property to be repurposed into many different things, such as a bed and breakfast or museum/gallery, saving it from deterioration or demolition while blending "old" and "new".
The property is recognized by the City of Albuquerque as a historic property and is located within 1000 feet of surrounding zoning which comprise a variety of uses including residential, industrial, commercial, wholesale/warehousing and mixed uses.
The house was built during the City's Railroad's Era in approximately 1897 and was not only a home but had an attached general mercantile store serving the workers at the American Lumber Company in the early 1900s.
The 1,782 square foot main house was restored in 1989 with new electric, gas and water lines and has remained architecturally true. A 560 square foot sunroom that runs the length of the south side was added to support the south wall of the house. Each room of the house has ceilings of 10 to 11 feet and was built on its own foundation of granite boulders from the Sandia mountains with a door to the outside which was typical of the era. Most windows are original double hung and most interior walls are plaster on adobe. Original brass chandeliers and door plates were cleaned, polished and reused. One door opening to the front porch has an original lace etching in the glass with Victorian millwork around it. Hardwood floors are throughout the home with Saltillo tile in the sunroom. The roof has a deep pitch, high peak, gables, and a dormer. The porch columns are classical. The outside walls of the former mercantile store now give privacy.
Gate and Driveway onto property is on the street Bellamah, as to not impede traffic on 12th street.
