This light and bright south-facing classic Santa Fe style 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is perfectly sited on nearly 1.5 acres and backs to the rail trail for ease of hiking/biking right out your back door! Entering through the front courtyard, there is a pleasant covered entry portal with carved viga posts, flagstone and a skylight, affording a sweet spot to sit and enjoy the Sangre de Cristo Mountain vista. The front entry is nicely sized with a banco for storage and an elegant, arched entrance into the living room. The living room has a kiva fireplace, high beam and plank ceilings, some nice carved corbels and enjoys big windows with artistic, custom copper shutters, big views to the Ortiz and Sandia mountains, as well as direct access to the back patio. Adjacent is the dining area and kitchen which has a new gas stove and newer stainless dishwasher and fridge; the house also has a water filtration system! The heated, two-car garage has a utility sink, storage and direct access into the kitchen area. There is also a new tankless water heater! The bedrooms lie down the hall from the front entry and the two guest rooms share a full bath with Mexican tile. The ample primary bedroom with mountain views has a cozy kiva fireplace, big walk-in closet, wonderful en-suite bath with jacuzzi soaking tub, separate shower and double vanity as well as access to the walled backyard. There are traditional Saltillo tile floors throughout the house and radiant heat. Brand new septic flow field and tank and a great fenced area for a dog run or veggie garden just out the garage back door.
