Tucked in the foothills down a private branch of prestigious Brownell Howland Road, this impressively expansive four-bedroom estate is a unique hideaway offering a rare combination of vintage Santa Fe style, meticulous detailing, welcoming warmth, and modern conveniences. A grand living room, formal and casual dining spaces, a charming cook's kitchen, a handsome library or media room, and peaceful private quarters feature eye-catching carved and painted ceiling beams, vigas, posts, and corbels; other ornamental woodwork; latillas; deep archways; brick, tile, and hardwood floors; nichos; bancos; and distinctive ironwork in intricate Southwestern-themed patterns. A sunny office or in-law suite with a wet bar, fireplace, and bath enjoys the privacy of its own wing. The owner's suite is a quiet aerie perched above a sunny atrium where plants and an in-ground tree flourish; it includes a spacious carpeted bedroom with mountain views, a balcony, a multi-bay walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath with a roomy shower, a soaking tub, a cedar closet, and two separate vanities. Separating the main residence from a wonderfully generous attached guesthouse with its own garage is a voluminous party room with a bath, a kitchen area, and doors to a portal and courtyard patio. The guest quarters are filled with glorious light and views from multiple oversized windows. Quiet and secluded, the gated acreage features a garden, outdoor living and dining spaces, mature trees, and sweeping views.
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.
