779 Paseo Cresta

Set in the North Hills above Historic downtown Santa Fe, this serene, sophisticated home is an expressive mix of Soft Contemporary and Traditional styles. Gorgeous hardwood floors sweep from the foyer through the living/dining area with its double-sided kiva fireplace and adjacent deck. The kitchen continues the home's handsome palette with chocolate-colored countertops, maple cabinets and a sun-bathed alcove for casual meals. A few steps down from the kitchen is a den, with adjacent Laundry/Mudroom and double-door access to the sheltered back patio. A sleek, custom staircase leads to the home's four bedrooms. A soothing sanctuary, the Primary bedroom has a coved ceiling, fireplace, private view deck and ensuite, remodeled bath with walk-in, glass-walled shower. In the back garden, a moss rock wall borders an expansive, paver patio, with water feature. The atmosphere turns magical as the path glides toward the lower garden with its outdoor shower and hot tub. A new, high-efficiency boiler, solar and on-demand hot water heater add to the appeal of this refined offering. Residents of the Estancia Primera community enjoy an outdoor pool, tennis courts, and clubhouse. Walking trails enable quick access to downtown. Hiking trails and the Ski Basin are a short drive away.
