This 70-year-old adobe house with a large frame addition is classic Santa Fe. It is bright and charming with lots of character in its architectural features. The house has 1,528 square feet. It has wood floors with decorative tile, exposed rough cut beams overhead and plaster walls. The country-style kitchen is set off from an open dining/living room which features an attractive Regency gas heater. Heavy posts and corbels lead into a library with a window to the private courtyard.
There are two bedrooms and 1 & 3/4 baths. The master suite has a skylight, window to garden, dressing area and original tile around the tub. The second bedroom is very large and has a door leading to the front courtyard. This room is currently used as an office and sitting room. It has a large brick fireplace with a wood stove inserted. There is a large walk-in storage closet. The second bathroom has tile above the sink and in the shower. Between the second bedroom and the second bath is a utility room with washer and dryer, a closet and space for a sofa bed. It has a door leading to the rear of the house and a covered patio.
The patio is a rustic spot where the original builders cooked in the summer and roasted chiles in the fall. It most recently has been used as a workshop. To one side of the patio is a small flower garden. Behind is a giant apricot tree which provides great shade in the summer and lots of fruit in July. Next to it is an old apple tree that blooms in May. The property has ten apricot trees, two apple, two peach and two plum. There are four different types of junipers, evergreen shrubs and three Russian olives. The south side of the house has a small berry and vegetable garden. The back two-thirds the lot is fenced with a mix of wood fencing. It has a wide gate that allows you to drive in and a small walk-in gate that enters the courtyard. The front of the lot has wood and cyclone fencing. There is a mountain view from the back of the house. The yard has natural grasses and wild flowers throughout.
The lot totals 12,450 square feet (.29 acres) and borders on streets front and back and it could easily handle the addition of a guest house, studio and large garage.
The windows are a mix of old and new. The exterior stucco is freshly patched and painted. The house has a flat roof with two canales that drain to the back of the house. It is located in a family subdivision created from farm land in the 1930s. Today it continues to be a quiet street in a great location off Agua Fria Street near Osage Street. A short walk to Frenchys Field Park where two bus lines intersect. Most places in Santa Fe are a 10-minute drive away.
