An Icon on East Palace Avenue - 519 East Palace. This historic estate blends the romance of Spanish Revival architecture with modern sophistication. Set on a beautifully landscaped third of an acre--with a lilac grove and mature trees--the property is recorded on the King's Official Map of Santa Fe and located just a short stroll to the Plaza, Canyon Road, galleries, and restaurants. A rare amenity in this location, the adobe estate offers parking for 8+ vehicles, ideal for hosting. The 2,500 sq. ft. main residence and 526 sq. ft. guest house form a serene, private compound. Inside, 15-foot exposed wood ceilings, polished brick floors, and massive adobe walls with diamond plaster create sculptural doorways and dramatic room volumes. The living room, with its soaring ceilings and wood-burning fireplace, balances architectural drama with quiet elegance. The kitchen is a striking surprise--modern KraftMaid Lustra Tygris Gloss cabinets with black granite counters bring sleek contrast to the adobe aesthetic. The primary suite, a seamless 2010 addition, offers views of the front courtyard, a contemporary fireplace, and open shed ceilings that fill the space with natural light. The one-bedroom guest house--thought to be the original pony barn--has been transformed into a charming retreat with a full bath and kitchenette. The enclosed backyard features a spacious 2-car carport, storage unit, and a hand-carved antique East Indian gazebo from Seret & Sons--a dramatic setting for evening gatherings. 519 East Palace is a true New Mexico treasure, where rich history, adobe elegance, and Santa Fe's timeless magic meet in perfect harmony.
