Sequestered unobtrusively behind gates on the dirt side of E. Alameda, this property presents a rare opportunity for a buyer to own one of Santa Fe's historic Eastside compounds. This classic, elegant residence features a private central courtyard flanked by a 3-bedroom main house and a 2-bedroom casita. The main house is steeped in history as the 1929 addition was John Gaw Meem's first architectural commission received by Meem after he opened his own firm. Sloping adobe walls, spanning vigas, rich wood floors, and thick organic glass windows typify the home's classic New Mexican character. The main house has a beautiful and bountiful kitchen with granite countertops, Wolf and Subzero appliances, and luxury conveniences including a pot filler, wet bar and wine cooler. The newer casita, which can be used as an opulent primary suite with two primary bathrooms, has the same classic feeling of the main house coupled with modern refinements. The courtyard surrounded with flowering plants and mature aspen trees is an intimate setting for outdoor entertainment and relaxation. Unlike so many properties that enjoy the advantage of being in the heart of downtown, this property's lot is large enough to allow for an oversized one-car garage and ample guest parking. Situated in one of Santa Fe's most iconic neighborhoods, access to the shaded Santa Fe River Trail, galleries on Canyon Road and the downtown Plaza is literally only a few steps away. This compound is also completely fenced, so in addition to the premiums in character and convenience already described, the property offers optimal security, quiet and privacy.
