LOCATION:
This historic adobe residence is located on romantic Upper Canyon Road and overlooks the Santa Fe River. Nicely removed from the bustle of the Canyon Road restaurant and gallery scene, Upper Canyon features long-established residences, some private galleries, and easy access to the Audubon Center and miles and miles of hiking and biking trails.
HISTORY:
This residence was built circa 1932 and originally consisted of a main house and a guest house. The two structures were joined together and renovated in 2007 with the assistance of the Inside Out Design Build team. The layout was changed dramatically and the foundation, plumbing, boilers, electrical system and roof are all brand new.
PROPERTY:
A rambling adobe wall with a humble wooden door gives little clue to the fabulous residence that lies beyond. Passing through you find yourself in a lovely open courtyard. Multiple French doors open to this courtyard from various rooms inside the house making this a great central location for your guests to gather. The home’s original portal offers shade and graces the main entry.
The formal living room is wonderful with hand-hewn walnut floors and viga ceilings. A large fireplace warms the room and divided-light windows provide views of the inner courtyard. There is a lovely sitting area right off the living room with built-in cabinets and a cozy shepherd-style fireplace. Here you will also find a charming powder room for the convenience of your guests. A single glass door provides access to the side courtyard.
The formal dining room is easily accessed from the living room and sitting area and features the original brick flooring and another impressive wood burning fireplace. Throughout the house incredible antique artifacts mask as typical doors and windows. In the dining room two such artifacts feature intricately carved wooden shutters that can be opened to provide glimpses into the fabulous kitchen or serve as a convenient pass-through.
The kitchen is absolutely stunning with a beautiful brick barrel vault ceiling and two custom center islands. The hand-hewn walnut floors, custom distressed cabinetry, oiled bronze fixtures, and granite countertops give the room a old-world feel that melds perfectly with the high end stainless steel appliances including a Subzero refrigerator, 2 Subzero freezer drawers, a warming drawer, a Wolf 6 burner range with griddle and 2 ovens, a Wolf microwave and 2 Asko dishwashers. The backsplash over the Wolf range features hand made tiles and provides a stunning focal point in the kitchen. Nearby is a large walk-in pantry. There is even a lovely casual dining area that overlooks the back portal.
Off the kitchen is a wonderful back portal with a private deck and hand-made railings. This fabulous area overlooks the Santa Fe River and features a built-in Wolf grill and a large outdoor fireplace.
From here you can continue past the laundry room to one of the guest bedrooms. This bedroom features a high ceiling and a charming imbedded kiva fireplace. Divided-light sliding glass doors provide direct access to the back portal. The room includes a 3/4 bath that is shared by a second guest bedroom.
A flagstone gallery hallway featuring a beautiful vaulted brick ceiling leads past a lovely family room with a kiva fireplace. Windows provide views into the inner courtyard while glass doors provide easy access. Off of the family room lies a third guest bedroom which features access to another private deck. Here you will also find another full bathroom.
Continuing down the hall you come to the incredible master suite. The master bedroom is spacious with a large fireplace and glass doors that open to an expansive deck overlooking the river. Be sure to observe the ceiling featuring wooden beams inset with beautiful hand carved and painted inserts from Penasco. The master bath is a stunning mixture of old world and contemporary style. The gorgeous granite topped vanity features two sinks and the tile-work found throughout the bathroom is absolutely stunning. The overflowing whirlpool bath sits next to a glass fronted fireplace and the walk-in shower has a glass door that opens to the back deck. Here you will find an outdoor shower where you can enjoy the view of the river and surrounding cottonwoods while you bathe. The master suite is finished by a large master closet that also features direct access to a small courtyard patio.
This incredible residence is finished off by a 3 car garage.
