2116 Paseo Ponderosa

Nestled among the pines in the secluded Hyde Park Estates neighborhood, minutes to Ten Thousand Waves, the Dale Ball trails, and the Santa Fe National forest, this beautifully maintained home commands impressive views North into the Pojoaque Valley with Black Mesa, and to the Southwest with stunning sunsets and downtown twinkling city lights. Truly the best of both worlds, with the privacy of a home in the woods, yet just minutes from downtown Santa Fe! This light-filled home includes 3-bedrooms, 3-baths, over 3,100 sq. ft. of living space, 2.5 car garage with extra room for storage or studio space, updated baths & kitchen and a PV Solar Panel System providing for a substantial portion of the electric costs. Entering the home on the ground level, visitors are welcomed into a saltillo tiled foyer which opens into a passive solar "atrium" and leads to the expansive primary suite with its own fireplace. The large, updated bathroom includes a spa-like soaking tub, a cedar-lined sauna, separate walk-in shower, double vanity and roomy walk-in closet. Large sliding doors in the bedroom open to a private garden patio. On the same level is a guest bedroom with private bath, also with sliders opening to the garden patio. There is a laundry room, and the garage/studio/art space. Up the steps, and throughout the house, are warm white oak hardwood floors. On the wide landing there is cozy and inviting Southwest facing window banco seat, for lazy winter afternoons reading, or summertime siestas. Under the banco is a large cedar storage cabinet. There is a well-appointed and updated kitchen with eat-in table space. The formal dining room with a unique rounded wall, and the spacious living room with soaring ceilings and vigas, wood burning fireplace, expansive views to the North, West and South and a beautiful deck for outdoor dining and relaxing, from which to enjoy the vistas and stars. Also on the upper level is a beautifully updated guest bathroom, comfortable guest bedroom with a private East facing back garden deck that has a very fun bridge over the atrium leading to the kitchen for intimate morning coffee al fresco. Also on this level is a bonus room that could make for a great home office, exercise room or additional sleeping space for guests. There are mountain and/or garden views from every room and an abundance of light which is truly enchanting. The curb appeal is undeniable with the beautifully landscaped front and back yards including colorful flowers and aspens. Don't miss this opportunity to make this unique mountain home yours!
