On a quiet, convenient in-town cul-de-sac, this light-filled three-bedroom Pueblo-style residence is a delightful oasis close to numerous services and conveniences. Coved ceilings, vigas and beams, decorative corbels, numerous skylights and casement windows, plaster walls, tile floors, serene earthy hues, and a kiva fireplace accented with a whimsical kokopelli contribute to the modern Southwestern ambience. The heart of the home is an expansive open-plan living and dining room with a soaring ceiling, built-in shelves, and double glass doors to the rear portal and patio. Nearby is a bright, cheerful kitchen with a sunny breakfast area that opens through sliding glass doors to an enchanting entry courtyard paved in flagstone. The owner's suite--which opens to the backyard and includes dual closets and a spacious bath with a soaking tub and a shower--is well separated from the two guest bedrooms and their shared bath, creating welcome peace and privacy. One bedroom benefits from a private entrance, making it ideal for use as a home office. In the backyard, an alluring brick portal and multilevel patio encourage outdoor relaxation in the fresh Santa Fe air, with traditional coyote fencing providing welcome seclusion. Hunter Douglas blinds, a security system, in-floor radiant heating, evaporative cooling, a large laundry room with a sink and storage, and an insulated two-car garage are among the contemporary amenities.
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.
