Description

Formerly an architect's pied-a-terre, timeless adobe and wood beam ceilings make this updated condo on the Historic Eastside a true gem. Situated in the historic and friendly Webster Compound, the building was originally built as an artists' colony for writers and painters. Willa Cather, poet laureate Arthur Sze, weaver Ramona Sakiestewa, author Stanley Noyes, and Kon Tiki author and explorer Thor Heyerdahl all lived in this lovely compound. With flagstone floors, hand-plastered walls, skylights, and wood viga and plank ceilings, the interior is warm and inviting. The great room features an adobe kiva fireplace, doors and windows with divided lights, and space for sitting, dining, and a queen or king-sized bed. There is a full bath with Mexican tile. The renovated kitchen has plastered walls, wood ceiling and oak floor, a stainless steel range and refrigerator, new wood cabinets and shelves, a pantry, and a wood counter with a nice amount of work space. The serene south-facing garden is warm and filled with light during winter. In summer the surrounding trees give cool dappled shade. The private garden is enclosed by adobe walls, has a flagstone patio, and a large old flowering lilac tree. Includes 1 reserved parking space as well as on-street parking. The Historic Eastside is coveted for its intimate beauty, its treed and flowery streetscapes and artistic character. Located near the historic Plazathe heart of Santa Fethis property is within walking distance of many notable sites including Canyon Road, Downtown Subscription coffee shop where locales love to meet, Museum Hill, hiking trails, and a number of restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues. It is easy to see why living here would be wonderful! Great as a residence, vacation rental, or artist's/writer's studio.
