813 Columbia St, Santa Fe, NM 87505

This is a small home on a block of small homes close to the South Capitol Rail Station (not to be confused with the district known as “south capitol.) It is on a block that is characterized by the fact that many of the houses were built by their current owners (in some cases with adobe) before St. Francis was St. Francis. It is a quiet, stable street, walking distance (or a very quick bicycle ride) to Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s, near the 2nd Street area, and a hop skip and a jump to downtown, the Railyard area and the Farmer’s Market. There is a small yard in the back with two Tuff Sheds, one of which is used for storage the other that is used as a small woodworking shop, and on the back side of the yard, separated by a 5’ concrete wall and a ten foot drop looms the Manuel Lujan Building. This is an oddly comforting neighbor, whose occupants come and go, surprisingly, without notice... The house was renovated about six years ago: high quality double pane windows, insulating foam on the exterior walls with new stucco, wood floors revealed and refinished or covered with new wood (laminate) floors, new kitchen cabinets and counters and new tile in the kitchen, venetian plaster in the living room, hall, and master bedroom.There is a crawl space, allowing access to utilities. The heat is hydronic baseboard and there is a gas fireplace in the living room. The house is cozy and would be perfect for a couple or small family, committed to the sustainability of a small footprint, a chiropractic or acupuncture live work clinic, (pending live/work approval,) close in to town and convenient to clients. Currently the budget bill for gas is $40/month and $24/month. Water, sewer and refuse runs about $60/month. Elementary School: EJ Martinez Junior High School: Capshaw High School: Santa Fe High
