This 2870 +/-sq ft, three-bedroom, three-bathroom home is nestled in the coveted Eastside location, just moments from the vibrant Plaza and legendary Canyon Road art district. The home's soul reveals itself through meticulously preserved vigas, nichos, and an interplay of oak floors with traditional Saltillo tile. Two distinct living areas create versatile spaces for both gatherings and grand entertaining. The first living room, with its warming kiva fireplace, provides an elegant setting for formal occasions, while the second offers a casual retreat for everyday relaxation. Culinary enthusiasts will gravitate toward the kitchen with soapstone countertops and stainless steel appliances. The adjoining kitchen annex, appointed with custom cabinetry and granite surfaces, offers a coffee preparation area. A charming sitting area, complete with a cozy kiva fireplace, invites leisurely morning rituals. The generously proportioned primary suite serves as a private retreat, featuring another warming kiva, direct backyard access, and a renovated bathroom. Antique Afghan carved wooden doors add worldly sophistication. One guest room features its own ensuite bathroom for ultimate privacy, while the second offers tranquil garden views. Step into your own hidden oasis where outdoor living becomes pure magic! Dual yards offer distinct experiences. The front walled garden showcases productive vegetable beds, while the expansive backyard transforms into a secret garden discovery. Beneath the outdoor portal, the outdoor fireplace extends seasonal enjoyment throughout this intimate sanctuary, complemented by sour cherry, apple, peach, pear, grape, and raspberry plantings alongside ornamental treasures including peonies and chocolate daisies. This hidden oasis unfolds like a carefully guarded secret, where every corner reveals another enchanting surprise. The gardens are complemented by rain barrels and an irrigation pump, that contribute to a sustainable lifestyle in Santa Fe's high desert climate. Perhaps most remarkably for this sought-after neighborhood, the property includes that rarest of Santa Fe amenities—a garage.
