This tri-level, mid-century classic in upper Casa Solana sits on an unusually spacious 11,850 sq. ft. lot. Built by Stamm in 1964 and owned by the same family since 1971, the home has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, living room, kitchen with tile bar, and a dining area overlooking the lower-level family room. "Original" is the word for this home-its floors are original hardwood under 1960s shag carpeting, and both baths still have their original ceramics and fixtures. A wall-length brick hearth with wood burning fireplace warms the family room that also connects to the 2-car garage. Its wedge-shaped backyard faces the Sangres and has three levels of patios, one with a mature grape arbor. Custom decorative wrought iron protects the windows and sliding backdoor. Other than standard maintenance, this home has been relatively untouched since the '60s, making it an ideal remodeling project for someone with a passion for mid-century design and unusual backyard environments.
The northwest of Santa Fe within city limits includes one of the most affordable, family areas – Casa Solana. With beautiful mature trees, sidewalks and paved streets, Casa Solana has a real neighborhood atmosphere. Gonzales Elementary is within walking distance to all and the Casa Solana shopping area is a treat.
