In the hills north of the historic Plaza, this gated 4,790-square-foot adobe home and guesthouse combine elegant Southwestern style, an inviting ambience, and majestic views of mountains and city lights. The generous, versatile floor plan affords a multitude of options for magnificent indoor-outdoor living and entertaining, an open kitchen featuring a granite-topped island, and two separate bedroom wings. Richly hued stone and wood--found in multiple eye-catching ceiling treatments and antique doors throughout--contribute to a serene natural warmth. Nearly every space is filled with wonderful light from windows and skylights. Closet space is plentiful, the oversized three-car garage includes a storage room, and the roof and stucco are new. The master wing bedroom has a large walk-in closet with two built-in dressers. The office, across the hall, has a built-in desk and shelving. The guest wing encompasses two large bedrooms, each with en-suite bath, and a study with a built-in desk and shelving. The home's colorful courtyard is a peaceful oasis lush with trees and flowering plants. A series of patios and portales runs along the western side of the home and guesthouse. Featuring a fireplace and remote-controlled sunshades, these spaces were designed for appreciating breathtaking vistas year-round. The guesthouse has its own portal, living and kitchen spaces, and laundry facilities as well as a quiet bedroom and easy access to a patio perfect for a hot tub.
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.
