Located on one of the prettiest streets in Taos, walking distance to historic downtown, restaurants, galleries, shops and Kit Carson park. Enjoy a lively in-town, pedestrian lifestyle and then escape to your private sanctuary. Surrounded by a garden wall and beautiful gates and once you enter the courtyard you know you are in for a treat; this home is masterfully designed and filled with many architectural elements. The welcoming entry leads the way to an elegant foyer with two arched doorways that open to the great room/living room featuring earth friendly, checkerboard, cork flooring, dramatic, lighted nichos, a unique and simply stunning gas fireplace, and 18' ceilings with a Middle Eastern style "lantern" cupola with self-opening windows and punched tin lighting detail. The living room offers access to an elegant portal with ample seating areas, and custom painted gas fireplace and posts. A living room outside, this portal is the perfect place to entertain outdoors. Open gourmet kitchen with SileStone countertops, custom cabinetry and a huge work island that doubles as a dining table. Guests love it! Separate bar area with sink and refrigerator. Additional large Jenn-Aire refrigerator and Jenn-Aire cooktop. A surprising yet thought out feature to the kitchen is the large walk in pantry that is as beautiful as it is functional and this is where the ovens are so you don't heat up the living area while cooking and where you can pull your feast right from the oven to the SileStone topped table. Off the pantry, enjoy a large laundry room and an over sized finished, heated, garage with work sink, numerous storage closets and shop area. The intimate master suite is cozy with a fireplace, huge walk-in closet and 5 piece master bath. The main guest bedroom also has it's own spacious bath and access to the portal. The third bedroom and bath is accessed through a dramatic hallway with deep display nicho...perfect to display your special art or memorabilia. This room is a nice third bedroom or additional office or studio. It is here that you will find the pneumatic elevator that takes you to the second floor office/studio/study. If you are one who likes to work from home, this is the space for you! Large open work areas, work sink, and half bath, take a break in one of two sleeping/reading alcoves or on the large private view deck.
