Home Details:
You receive your first taste of this elegant
home as you approach through its elegant gardens that refresh and invite
you in. Here lilies, lawns and trees greet you and tell you that
you have arrived at the finest of homes.
Elegant beveled glass windows and
clearstories surround the impressive double door entrance creating
splendor and presence.
This view shows the same doors looking back towards them from the dining
room across the entry. The kitchen sits just to the left of the
small table in the center of the pictures and the spacious living room
lies to its right.
The east side of the living room features one of the home's five
fireplaces and a huge dramatic picture window looking towards the cliffs
of El Salto Peak and Taos Mountain.
The other side of the living room features a comfortable living space
perfect for cozy conversation. here you see the Saltillo tile
floors and viga ceilings that provide Northern New Mexico charm
throughout the house.
Going through the door at the right side of the previous picture, you
come to a sun room with a wet bar and views out to a fountain and a koi
pond with water lilies.
The formal dining room easily seats twelve to sixteen and provides true
elegance for the most impressive of dinners.
The magnificent kitchen provides the heart of the home. Here light
streams in through a glass skylight painted to look like stained glass
to the center work island - which itself is a master work of furniture.
An under-counter refrigerator assists you in food preparation and
storage while you await your special guests. Granite counter tops
and a professional stove add to the enjoyment of preparing delicious
food.
Bedroom #3 is located between the kitchen and the master bedroom.
As you can see, it has its own fireplace and view out to the side yard.
Presently it is used as a den or reading room.
The master bedroom is its own work of art.
Set in a corner, it receives lots of light from two sides of the home.
The corner kiva fireplace, tile floors and viga ceilings provide
southwest touches. A door to the right of the fireplace leads to
this bedroom's own private landscaped courtyard - the perfect escape.
Pamper yourself in this beautiful
master bath. The double sinks, tiled shower and separate tub will
tempt you to never leave. A skylight floods this bathroom with
abundant light.
The second bedroom also features terrific
views to the landscaped front yard and magnificent mountains beyond.
Here you see the high ceilings and leaded glass windows that provide
beauty and elegance. Your only danger is that if you use this room
as a guest room, your guests may never want to leave.
