815 East Palace Avenue

Tucked into the historic Llano Compound on Santa Fe’s Eastside, this beautifully updated adobe condominium carries the texture of old Santa Fe with the ease of modern living. The intimate community of 31 adobe residences was designed by architect Phil Hawes, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, and constructed during the 1970s. The compound reflects that influence through its organic architecture, handcrafted construction, and extraordinary intelligent landscaping. Offering approximately 1,766 square feet, the two-bedroom (primary on the ground floor), two-bath residence preserves the architectural details that give Santa Fe homes their enduring character. Exposed vigas, brick and wood floors, sculpted plaster walls, and three kiva fireplaces—including two traditional wood-burning kivas and a gas kiva in the primary bedroom—create a sense of history and place throughout the home. The renovated kitchen is filled with natural light and features white cabinetry, Taj Mahal countertops, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, generous counter space, and a large center island that serves as a natural gathering point. Both bathrooms have also been updated with clean, timeless finishes that complement the home’s adobe architecture. Living and dining areas flow seemlessly for everyday life and entertaining. Each bedroom and the living room feature individual mini-splits for comfort. Two private, landscaped courtyards provide sheltered settings, while the upstairs covered portal looks across the open space behind the residence. The unobstructed setting creates an uncommon sense of privacy and openness, along with tranquil mountain and sunset views beyond the property. Rich in craftsmanship and regional character, this distinctive residence offers the beauty of traditional Santa Fe architecture together with thoughtfully updated interiors. Its Eastside location provides convenient walking access to Canyon Road, the Santa Fe River, the historic Plaza, galleries, and restaurants.
