522 Acequia Madre Santa Fe, NM 87505

GREAT RENOVATION POTENTIAL! Nestled among mature trees and behind an adobe wall along the Acequia Madre, this enduring compound in the heart of the Eastside speaks beautifully of early Santa Fe and the many historical figures who have cared for it since the 1800’s. Single level with a few interior steps, the floor plan is linear, as was the custom in this time period, rooms were added as families grew. Varying floor levels and ceiling heights reveal the earliest style of homes built by Europeans in Santa Fe. Floors range from brick to wood to tile to flagstone. Hand-hewn vigas enhance coved ceilings. Walls vary from double adobe with hand-plaster and rounded edges to frame walls with angular shapes. Like an intriguing maze this home leads from one room to the next. Arched glass doorways, hand-carved or hand-painted wooden doors add to the charm. The entry portal opens to a studio with kitchen, sitting room with kiva fireplace, bedroom and patio. Adjacent is a full bath and two bedrooms. The kitchen is large and long with doorways from the sun room, big portal and dining room with kiva. The dining room opens into the living room with kiva. The living room in turn opens into a music room with kiva, and a library, den/bedroom and half bath. Off Acequia Madre, the guest suite has a living room with fireplace, a bedroom with kiva and good-sized closet, 3/4 bath, laundry room, and kitchen. This charming slice of life is just waiting for the right owner to add to the legacy.
