Located on 1.26 acres, a mile from the Plaza in the classic view filled Vista Encantada neighborhood, this home has been beautifully updated and landscaped. With the main living areas all on one level, there is also a one-bedroom lower-level casita with separate entry, full kitchen, big Sangre view and outdoor space. This makes for excellent privacy and separation for either guests, an income producing rental or a home office/studio situation. Entering the main house through a wide front veranda, there is a gracious entry and nice open feel between the living and dining rooms which both enjoy the stacked Anasazi stone fireplace, huge banks of windows to all the mountain views, fantastic light as well as open access to the kitchen. The cook’s kitchen has new stainless appliances, granite counters, wine cooler, walk in pantry and plenty of storage. Super mud room/laundry off the kitchen leads to a large office or family room with separate entry and a breezeway to the two-car garage. Off the dining is a private covered bricked patio with views to Sun and Moon mountains, Atalaya, Picacho and the Sangres. Not to mention a private hot tub spot from which to enjoy sunrise or moonrise over the mountains with the sound of the fountain in the background! A sweet music room/game room leads back to the bedroom wing, with great storage for linens and extra outerwear. The two guest bedrooms share a full bath and the primary suite enjoys the big views, opens to a high wrap around ipe wood (a hard wood from South America) deck, gorgeous stacked stone bathroom with bidet and walk in closet with built ins. Down the stairs from the music room is a cozy office or study with a wall of bookcases and an incredible bonus storage room. There are mini splits throughout for summer cooling and solar to nearly eliminate your electric bill!
