Artist Apartment Available in the Heart of Downtown Santa Fe

Historic Santa Fe Foundation has a long tradition to renting apartments to artists. Many artists have lived and been inspired by the historic setting in El Zaguan on Canyon Road in the heart of Santa Fe.
This artist apartment has two bedrooms with abundant historical style and a quirky, historic charm. The living room's view looks out on the shared communal area offering opportunity for engagement with other resident artists in a private setting. One bedroom offers a cozy space also perfect for an office. The bathroom has a clawfoot tub and the adjacent hall closet provides additional storage in the comfy historic apartment. The street-side bedroom looks out on Canyon Road and takes in the warmth of the afternoon sun. The kitchen and smaller bedroom offer access to the private courtyard reserved exclusively for this apartment. Finally, one cannot express the beauty of the grounds in full bloom with the historic garden established in the mid-1800s and the seperate and private lower orchard and fountain.

First/last month's rent and a $1,000.00 deposit required. Artist must pay electric. No pets and no smoking.
