Nestled on a hillside overlooking Arroyo Piedra, this warm, inviting property encourages chic relaxed living and entertaining with equal ease. The size of the home is generous yet undeniably livable; enveloping it all are verdant lawn and thriving native landscaping designed and cared for by the home’s original owner, a retired orthontist who happens to be a master gardener and woodworker. He also crafted the handsome doors and cabinetry found throughout the home. Following the example of Eastside estates, the home is sited toward the front of the property, near the road, and was built sturdily into the hillside; this position affords a majestic view that sweeps from the Santa Fe ski basin through the hills, across the arroyo, and toward the city lights and Sandia Mountains in the distance. Within, “wings” of understated elegance emanate off a splendid but comfortable central living and dining area, providing a number of relaxed but stylish private spaces: bedrooms with accompanying baths, a calm study or media room, a spacious office or studio with nearby exercise room, and various patios and portales. Warm plaster walls, hardwood and brick flooring, vigas and beams, and several fireplaces show loving respect for the architectural traditions of the region, yet the style and ambience are refreshingly modern and unassuming. A delightful freestanding guesthouse offers visitors the autonomy of private living space, a full kitchen and bath, and a courtyard and portal of their own.
