This beautiful courtyard home in the sought after Aldea de Santa Fe captures both charm and functionality. The living area features a gourmet kitchen, which opens up to the large dining and living space, accented by vigas and an artistic fireplace. The kitchen includes rustic cabinetry, under cabinet lights, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and is a central gathering area. The master suite has its own wing, with access to the lovely covered portal and courtyard. It also features coffered ceilings, a raised kiva fireplace, and a large walk-in closet. The master bath has an old world double vanity, oversize glass/tile shower, and Jacuzzi tub. The second bedroom and bath are on the main level and boast the same attention to detail, with direct access to the courtyard area. Located above the garage, the third bedroom has a large deck with views of the amazing Santa Fe sunsets. This area is versatile, with bath and walk-in closet, and could also function as a study/living area/studio. The home's spacious courtyard is reminiscent of the old portals of haciendas, the perfect place for entertaining. Aldea, situated in the pinon covered rolling hills, has open spaces, endless trails, glorious mountain and sunset views, a bird watching sanctuary, to name just a few highlights. Aldea exemplifies community living, with a central Plaza and event room for neighborhood gatherings. Close to town but yet far enough to enjoy all nature has to offer.
