Located in South Capitol, this thoughtfully rebuilt 2 story home on the end of a non-through street is a stylish combination of Santa Fe traditional and contemporary finishes. Inviting and warm, it boasts reclaimed hickory floors throughout the main level and high, wood beam ceilings in the living room. An inset fireplace with a rustic bark-edged mantel shelf adds to the ambiance. The open and bright kitchen with custom tile backsplash and stone countertops flows into the eat-in seating area and on to the living area for ease of entertaining. There’s plenty of cabinet space and a display shelf above the sliding glass doors that lead to the back patio making a nice flow for outdoor gatherings. Upstairs is the roomy master bedroom and ensuite bathroom, as well as a second bedroom with an ensuite full bath. The third bedroom on the main level, with access to a full bathroom, is perfect for guests. And the brightly-lit studio is a wonderful setting for an artist or could be used as an office. With skylights throughout, it’s a sunny space and all of the rooms on the main floor open to the brick patio in back. Just minutes from the shopping and restaurants near the crossroads of Cerrillos Road and Saint Francis Drive and a short drive to the Plaza, this is a perfect pied-à-terre or rental home in central Santa Fe.
