Tucked down the picturesque lane of Arroyo Tenorio, this special property is just minutes from Canyon Road, Acequia Madre, and a short distance from the Plaza! The central core of the home is adobe, featuring many historic elements--beams, brick and wood flooring, nichos, lintels, sombraje accents, and beautifully carved corbels--all while boasting a remodeled central kitchen with new lighting, updated cabinetry, and warm granite countertops. The home includes three rooms downstairs, which could serve as bedrooms or as an office/den. The gracious and spacious primary bedroom suite is located upstairs. The staircase to the primary bedroom has a south-facing passive solar window wall, complete with automatic shades to allow sunlight to infuse the home. For entertaining, the living and dining areas flow gracefully into the enclosed and beautifully landscaped courtyard. The entry courtyard has lovely flagstone, a fountain, and a raised seating area, creating the perfect spot to relax. Two impressive plastered kiva fireplaces accent both living room and primary bedroom. As you enter the home, the tall ceilings in the living room provide a welcoming atmosphere. The lot is nearly 1/4 acre, with a convenient separate easement off Halona, featuring an automatic gate that leads to a portion of the land that could potentially accommodate a guest casita (subject to City approval). A not-to-be-missed gem in the historic district!
The SE part of Santa Fe is rich with history, with some homes dating back centuries; these neighborhoods boast some of Santa Fe’s most photographed adobe homes and gardens. Hosting a mix of multi-generational families and newcomers, the homes, often hidden behind high walls and accessed by narrow, dirt lanes, recall the city’s early history and lend Santa Fe a unique heritage.
