You will be so surprised to see this elegant Santa Fe home. The location almost feels rural, this large parcel is a corner lot, and you truly do not see or hear neighbors, affording great privacy. And because this house is tucked into the north hills, you will be about a 5 minute drive to the Plaza. Two steps down, into the grand sized living room, create a great sense of relaxation and calm. The kitchen, with plenty of room for an eat-in space, is such a delight: oversized windows on three sides show off established gardens and grand mountain views to the east. The mountain range is ever-present: the kitchen, shaded portal, living room, and primary bedroom all face the Sangre de Cristo mountains. The custom design of the house is so user-friendly and logical. The grand livingroom holds the center of the house. One side is completely dedicated to private spaces with 3 bedrooms, excellent walk-in closets and 2 full baths. You'll even find a cedar closet handy for storing those winter coats. The other side of the living room is a generous kitchen, entertaining bar space, and elegant dining room with full sized windows - which look out to greenery. The light in the house is really lovely and very cheering. The attached, direct entry garage makes your life easy and is generous with a wall of storage cupboards plus an extra refrigerator. For economy the sellers had solar installed, and the house is very practical in terms of utility costs. No HOA restrictions in this neighborhood. Beautiful established gardens will amaze you - and you don't need a green thumb because almost all are perennials! The location is what everyone hopes for: close proximity to all of downtown Santa Fe, museums, wonderful restaurants, the Lensic, and lots of shopping... all within 5-10 minutes. You can walk down the hill into town, takes about 20 minutes. Also a great location if you commute to the lab, with very easy highway access. This can be your special place to call home!
