The Story of 1001 Ridgecrest Drive SE. Built by 1949 and owned by just two families, this distinctive residence combines Albuquerque history with enduring construction. Dr. Albert L. Maisel and his wife, Geraldine, began a family connection spanning approximately 55 years. The Peck family, its second owners for the past 22 years, have taken great care to maintain the property and complete substantial improvements.Brick construction and redwood shiplap siding complement the home's U-shaped layout, central courtyard, cathedral ceilings, exposed beams and expansive walls of glass. Two fireplaces add character, including one accented with travertine stone. New LVT flooring and carpet refresh the interiors, while petrified wood and limestone enrich the mature landscaping.The Pecks have handled much of the heavy lifting, including a fully insulated metal roof installed approximately four years ago and roughly $45,000 in electrical improvements, including two new electrical panels, bringing the electrical systems up to code, and two new HVAC systems for heating and cooling.Offering 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and approximately 3,800 square feet, the home provides generous space and room for further personalization. The existing swimming pool and former pool house structure both need attention and offer opportunities for restoration. With its distinctive architecture, substantial improvements and established setting, thoughtful updates could make this one of Ridgecrest's signature residences.Conveniently located near Hyder Park, Bandelier Elementary, Nob Hill, UNM, hospitals, KAFB and Albuquerque International Sunport.
