Pretty darn special! This lovingly restored adobe home on two tracts of land totally about 1.792 acres dates to about the 1930s. It was built as a quintessential L-shaped adobe without a second story. A subsequent owner completely renovated the house, took it down to its bare bones, added a second story, and did an amazing job of renewal. The first floor has two-foot-thick adobe walls. The living room has adobe plastering and the rest of the rooms are stuccoed. All wood floors downstairs, and wood, carpet, tile and vinyl on the upstairs floors. Radiant heat system was installed throughout the house during the renovation. The views out each window are pretty amazing. There’s a five-acre field behind (west of) the house and a great view of the Jemez mountains and Pedernal. Total square footage is 2,945: downstairs is 1, 611 and upstairs is 1,334. There are 8 rooms in total, 5 of which are bedrooms. The first floor has a primary bedroom/bath, studio, kitchen, half-bath, and living room (with wood stove). The second floor has a central area at the top of the stairs used as an artist studio but was once a TV room. Two of the bedrooms are currently being used as work spaces but could be bedrooms again. Then two more bedrooms are on the other side (north) of the upstairs. There’s a full bath upstairs, too, with two sinks. The property runs on a private well, private septic, and a large propane tank. Pretty darn special indeed.
