A hundred years of Santa Fe history is represented in this unique home. From the original small structure, built in the 1930’s with its thick adobe walls, subsequent owners have added numerous updates and additional living spaces while maintaining the history and character of the residence. These adobe walls and double-paned windows throughout the house, provide peace and quiet from the home’s location on the road leading to the renowned Santa Fe Ski Basin and to miles of hiking trails. The two-tiered living room features a fireplace and a designated area for activities such as reading, listening to music, and watching TV.
The heart of the house is the central kitchen/dining area, where family and friends gather for meals and conversation. Cabinets, counters, backsplashes, and appliances have been updated to accommodate modern living, while the original floors, nichos, and ceilings have been carefully preserved. The traditional Kiva fireplace, once part of the original portal, serves as a focal point for the area. Well maintained and updated, it adds warmth and charm during Santa Fe’s brisk winters. The situation of two of the three bedrooms off the central area provides privacy for guests and residents alike. One has an ensuite bathroom while the other provides garden views.
Down a sunny hall, also with garden views, is the primary bedroom and bath. With a Kiva fireplace and outdoor access, this suite is a serene retreat. Its location from the central living area guarantees spacious privacy for the main occupants while hosting family and friends.
The two outside areas have been designed to address the specific requirements of Santa Fe’s climate. Water wise trees, shrubs and perennials support native pollinators while bringing edibles and color to the landscape. A water catchment system collects hundreds of gallons of water during the region’s infrequent rains for use during the dry season.
To top it off, this gem boasts a new TPO roof, new exterior stucco, two tankless hot water heaters (2020); solar panels (2021); and five minisplits (beginning 2018) making it move-in ready. This is a home not to be missed!
