Description

Own a Piece of Albuquerque History! Step into a remarkable piece of Albuquerque's past with the historic Tingley Mansion, nestled in the coveted Silver Hill Historic District. Former home of Albuquerque Mayor and New Mexico Governor Clyde Tingley and Carrie Tingley, this extraordinary residence offers the rare opportunity to own a property where history truly comes alive. This corner lot home offers an unusually versatile layout for both investors and owner-occupants. From the moment you enter, the craftsmanship of the 1930s is unmistakable. Original details abound, including custom light fixtures, hand-troweled walls and ceilings, Southern gum stained woodwork, and beautiful quarter-sawn white oak floors. The spacious home features 4+ bedrooms and 3 baths, including two primary suites--both complete with a sitting room and one with an iconic 1930s tiled shower. Multiple flexible spaces offer endless possibilities. This floor plan provides plenty of options for extended living, furnished rentals, or mid-term housing. Complete with a dining area, library, or sitting rooms. The classic black-and-white tiled kitchen blends historic character with updated appliances, while a sunny breakfast area and inviting sunroom provide wonderful spaces to gather and relax. Adding to the property's appeal is an existing casita that already generates income, creating an immediate revenue-producing component. The property also includes a fully finished basement and the two car garage was transformed into an industry level recording studio. Offering another potential income stream that could be rented separately to musicians, producers, podcasters, or other creative professionals.

Outside, enjoy the fully walled backyard and patio which create a private oasis surrounded by stories from another era. Roses planted by Carrie Tingley, creates an eye catching curb appeal in the front yard. Original brick doghouse, and side-yard access once used for horse & buggy entry are just a few of the property's unique historic touches. Owned solar panels add modern efficiency to this historic treasure. With R1B zoning, the property offers a range of potential uses.
