Prominence and grace exude from this lovely gated, walled and fenced S. Capitol area home which has been lovingly upgraded and maintained to showcase its inherently classic Santa Fe charm. This private home is situated at the front of a generous 0.32 acre lot, which offers a sizable portion of the property open for creating future potential in this highly desirable and walkable neighborhood located within the Wood Gormley school district. Thick plastered walls, richly restored oak hardwood floors, as well as spacious and open entertaining spaces flow from every room with significant attention to architectural detail still visible and intact. The outdoor spaces surrounding the home have been professionally landscaped with a lively display of ever-changing seasonal colors and blooms, an adjacent vine-covered ramada, driveway entry trees and evergreens all on a new irrigation system, lovingly sited to be enjoyed from both the front and back portals and garden flagstone walkways. Notable energy efficiency details and upgrades include radiator steam heating, European-style A/C and heating "splits", as well as Thermopane Pella windows. A cozy gas fireplace in the living room is still the heart of the home. A large raised basement with plenty of windows offers a plethora of functional uses, such as a recreational room, in addition to the current laundry room with storage shelving already in place. A separate and detached structure is currently being used as a 3-car garage.
