An adobe home & casita circa 1910 that has been updated with all the right touches to compliment the original charm. Hand-carved features can be found throughout the home. A large portal greets you and beckons you to morning coffee watching the many migrating birds that visit. With 8 skylights and many large windows this home has all the natural light you could ever dream of. Cozy up to one of the 3 kivas that adorn the living areas and kitchen. The main house has 3 bedrooms & 2.5 baths. The spacious primary bedroom is illuminated by a large skylight but a solar-powered shade makes it into a cozy den with the push of a button. Right through the French doors in the primary bedroom is the completely remodeled, large bath clad with Clé tile, unlaquered brass fixtures, a large walk-in shower, a soaking tub, a double vanity with marble countertop, and heated floors. The large chef’s kitchen, with plenty of storage, has been lovingly updated with all new appliances, a custom maple butcher-block island. This beautiful kitchen is the epitome of form & function. Flagstone paths meander the backyard including a dining patio right off the kitchen, the perfect place to gather on those beautiful summer evenings drenched in sunset. There are many areas for lounging and taking in the mature landscaped yard equipped with an automated irrigation system. The completely renovated casita in the back yard has its own gated entry, and a fence separating it from the main house. There you’ll find new white oak flooring, lime-washed walls, a custom kitchen build-out by a local woodworker, new appliances, brass fixtures, a dreamy stone-clad shower, and a new water heater. Private & perfect rental potential. Recent updates include a fresh coating on the roof, a half bathroom addition & laundry room, complete renovation of the en-suite bath, updated 2nd bath, new water heater. Limewashed & plastered walls, and low voc finishes were used throughout to keep the house & casita low tox. There is a 1-car garage with attached shop space. This property is zoned C2 so there is huge potential for a future business. 119 Cruz Alta is private and tranquil while still just minutes from the plaza!
