1005 Alameda , E

Description

Alameda Hill Compound is without doubt the finest residential compound in Santa Fe. Comprising almost 3 acres, heavily covered by old growth trees and shrubs one feels they are in another world altogether. A private well provides all the water for the compound landscaping and for domestic usage in the condos. Tucked away in the middle of the compound is this amazing and historic cottage ripe with old Santa Fe charm yet updated in a tasteful and appropriate way. The entry courtyard has whimsical iron work created by the late William Lumpkins. He also designed the handsome window boxes. The living room has wonderful antique wood floor, vigas and a kiva fireplace with abundant light from 2 sets of windows looking out onto the greensward. Thick walls add to the ambiance. The kitchen has been updated with honed flagstone counters and new lighting. There is a W/D closet in the hallway leading to an updated bathroom with a stall shower. Finally there is a gracious bedroom with vigas and a fireplace plus a closet area. Two new mini splits provide heat and AC and there is a new on-demand hot water heater. One must see this property to truly appreciate the setting and the iconic architecture and interiors. This is a one of a kind property.
