868 E Alameda Street

Behind old turquoise gates sits a unique 1800’s historically contributing adobe located across from the Santa Fe River Trail on the historic Eastside, steps from Canyon Road and blocks from the Plaza; consisting of a large 2-bedroom casa and an attached 1-bedroom casita. There are many traditional architectural details including vigas, hand carved doors, corbels, thick adobe plastered walls, Shepherd’s and Kiva fireplaces and charming old river rock walls. The larger home, Unit A, has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths with a nice size living room with a corner kiva fireplace leading into the kitchen and dining area with French doors going out to a quiet, private, shady back bricked patio. The second bathroom is a half bath and also houses the stackable washer/dryer, while the main bath is a charming Mexican tiled bathroom - both whimsical and functional. The front bedroom is small and would make a great home office or second bedroom, and the main bedroom is quite large and enjoys a kiva fireplace, wonderful old river rock walls and also opens to the back patio. The attached casita, Unit B, is wonderfully updated with a great room with corner Shepherd’s fireplaces on both ends of the main living space, which also includes the kitchen with quartz counters and a nice little eating spot. This room opens to its own little bricked back patio – equally shady and private. The bedroom has an en suite bath with a stackable washer dryer. The house faces to the South and the river, so has wonderful winter light streaming in and when windows are open the gentle sound of water in the river can be heard. There are plenty of skylights, so both homes have lots of natural light. The house was remodeled about 6 years ago including a new roof, AC and appliances – a special treasure with lots of options should one need a home office, separate space for guests or family or just a wonderful home by the river!
