This well-situated two-bedroom, two-bath, 1,300 sq ft adobe and frame house is on the market for the first time in almost 25 years. With views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains from the front, a stone path leads from the driveway to the front door. The double-height living room / dining area has brick flooring and plaster walls throughout. Expansive windows along the curved exterior wall offer wide views of mountains to the north and west and are great for watching thunderstorms approaching across the desert or fabulous sunsets in the evening. At night, enjoy a fire in the wood-burning fireplace or warm a chilly evening with the pellet stove. In this open floor plan, the galley kitchen is separated from the living room by a peninsula with a wood countertop. The windows in the master bedroom look to the south over this property of more than an acre. Six skylights flood the house with light during the day. The second bedroom has been used as a den and has a wall of custom-built bookshelves. French doors lead out from the living room and the master bedroom onto a patio shaded by a trellis ramada and overlook the garden planted with native high-desert shrubbery enclosed with an adobe wall. A new tree planted in 2016 is looking for love from a new owner. The house is equipped with solar hot water and a cistern for collecting rainwater. It has been well cared for; the roof, stucco, and heating system are all less than 7 years old.
An established bedroom community of about 5000 residents – a mix of families, retirees, singles and couples–with its own commercial center, elementary school and social/recreational center, Eldorado is only twenty minutes from Santa Fe and feels like a transition between city and country. The area includes Dos Griegos, Alteza Estates, The Islands and Belizia.
