517 Johnson Lane

Description

Rare opportunity to claim your slice of historic Eastside magic on Santa Fe’s treasured Johnson Lane. The perfect pied-à-terre or a comfortable full-time residence, this beautifully cared for 3BD-2BA home (with two-car garage!) masterfully combines function with Southwest elegance. Finishes include brick and wood floors throughout, wood beams, and decorative tile work in numerous spaces. Down a modest flight of stairs, the living room offers high ceilings, bountiful natural light, and a wood-burning kiva fireplace. Outside, the fenced-in backyard offers shade from mature trees, low-fuss tiered garden beds (drip irrigation in-place), and an oversized flagstone patio for dining and outdoor leisure. The kitchen offers charm of its own—equipped with Fisher and Paykel appliances (2023), open shelving, and a custom Hopi mosaic backsplash behind the range installed by an indigenous artist. Upstairs, the primary suite is a retreat of its own with a cozy wood-burning fireplace and private outdoor balcony. Recently installed mini-splits throughout keep the home cool on hot summer days, and provide supplemental heating to the existing forced-air heating system in the colder months. Meticulously maintained, with recent roof replacement (2020), new stucco (2025), upgraded 200 Amp electrical service (2023), and many more fantastic improvements for a future homeowner to enjoy immediately. One of the most storied, quiet, streets on Santa Fe’s historic Eastside, Johnson Lane offers a welcoming neighborhood, close proximity to coffee shops, restaurants, neighborhood grocery stores, and an easy stroll to famed Canyon Road.
