Natural light, clean modern lines, and welcoming warmth fill every space of this wonderful home just up the hill from timeless Tesuque Village. Impeccably maintained, it features an inviting open-plan living and dining area with tall beamed ceilings and a central fireplace; a well-outfitted kitchen with stainlesssteel appliances, richly hued wood cabinetry, and a built-in breakfast banco; and two guest bedrooms sharing a stylish full bath. The serene owner's suite is secluded on the upper level and includes a sitting area with a fireplace, a walk-in closet, and a luxurious bath with a soaking tub and shower. Among the other highlights are a convenient powder room and an oversized freestanding garage that could also serve as a workshop or studio. Quality finishes and fixtures can be found throughout, from hardwood and tinted concrete floors to custom doors, handsome stonework, thoughtfully positioned windows and lighting, and radiant heating. Numerous decks and a patio allow for enjoyment of fresh air, blue skies, mature trees, and mountain views to the east and west. The ideal location--on 1.25 acres near Tesuque Village Market, the hiking trails of the Santa Fe National Forest, the world-renowned opera house, and the historic Plaza--is also an easy drive from Los Alamos and offers welcome peace and privacy.
