An ambience of cheerfulness and light fills this charming three-bedroom home north of the city in the Santa Fe Hills neighborhood. It combines inviting open living and dining spaces, quiet private quarters--including a serene master suite with a spa-like bath--an oversized two-car garage, and at the heart of the home, a delightful kitchen and family room with plentiful storage and counter space and an island. The alluring portal is ideal for relaxing outdoors while appreciating idyllic natural surroundings of the lush 1.067-acre grounds; nearby, a gazebo beckons with climbing mature vines and space for dining and grilling. The master and two guest suites are thoughtfully separated, making the home ideal for easy day-to-day living, restful relaxation, and festive entertaining. Vigas, corbels, terra-cotta-hued tile flooring, ceramic tile accents, numerous skylights, and distinctively detailed kiva fireplaces contribute to a sense of Southwestern style and conviviality.
Santa Fe’s Northeast area, within city limits, while conveniently located, gives residents the pleasure of quiet living. On every tree-lined street are examples of newer, award-winning architecture and well-established, older adobes. In addition to the Santa Fe Plaza, this area extends east from St. Francis Drive and south of Alameda to the edge of the climb to the Sangre de Cristos.
