If you are serious about having a home in Taos, do not miss this one! This custom-designed adobe-block home situated in highly desirable El Salto (private but yet accessible) just minutes away from the Village of Arroyo Seco and mid-way between Taos town and Taos Ski Valley, will not disappoint. This energy-efficient home offers serious uninterrupted mountain views as well as huge southern and western views from within the large open-plan living/kitchen/dining area and from the large outdoor deck making it the perfect venue to entertain with friends or for a cozy night in with the family. The landscaped grounds and covered front porch area make entering this home a joy. Built for entertaining, the gourmet kitchen has a wonderful flow, plenty of storage, an open feel, and an east-facing Palladian window framing El Salto. Just to the south is the elegant and comfortable adjoining dining area. The large sunken living room is warm, welcoming, and features a wood burning kiva fireplace as well as access out onto the elevated deck (and large hot tub.) On the same ground floor, via the north/south running hallway, find four bedrooms with great views, three full bathrooms, a large laundry room, and multiple closets offering plenty of storage. Thoughtfully designed, this home also offers multiple skylights, in-floor radiant heating across six independent zones, Saltillo tile flooring throughout, covered portals, and numerous windows framing fantastic views south out over Taos pueblo and west towards Abiquiu and the Pedernal 70 miles to the west. As for the wood-work, notice the quality wood doors, corbels, spun pillars, vigas with tongue and groove ceilings and other interesting wood features. The landscaped 1 ½ acre grounds afford plenty of space for outside activities and an attached heated two-car garage is easily accessible with a level grade for ingress and egress. And, on top of that, this home comes with a very impressive short-term vacation rental history if that is important to you. 2020-05-09
