1536 Cerro Gordo Road

Description

Elevated Eastside adobe with views across the Santa Fe River valley to the foothills beyond. This soulful home retains the funk and charm from the early 1900s through the 1960s hippie era when the Volkswagen repair manual was published on site. Whimsical artistic features can be found throughout, such as arched & tiled doorways, mosaic tiled steps, kiva fireplaces with hand-painted detailing, tin lighting, and uniquely crafted wooden doors. Light from numerous skylights, divided-light & clerestory windows casts the open living space with a warm & inviting sensibility. Off the large kitchen with stainless steel appliances and ample storage is a sweet breakfast nook with French doors leading to a deck. Occupying the northeast corner of the home is the graciously sized primary bedroom suite which includes a kiva fireplace, built-in banco seating with storage, and a hand-carved wooden cabinet with shelves. The recently remodeled bathroom has two custom vanities, a steam shower, soaking tub, towel warmer and two closets. Down a few steps from the living area is a separate wing hosting a den and second bath shared by two delightful bedrooms, each down a few steps through an arched doorway. The beautiful bonus space is a re-imagined office with a new wall of south-facing windows overlooking the terraced yard through the tree canopy. Every room in the home has its own exterior access to one of many lovely landscaped patios for year-round enjoyment of the outdoors, including a double-gated yip yard for pups. A carport protects vehicles while a large storage shed safe-keeps toys. Well-maintained with newer roof, stucco, windows, mechanical, plumbing & electrical systems. This 0.5 acre lot also provides the possibility of a casita addition. Convenient to the historic Plaza, Canyon Road, Santa Fe Canyon Preserve, Randall Davey Audubon Center & Sanctuary, and Dale Ball Trails.
