Step into Santa Fe history in this captivating 2,041+/- sq ft pre-war home, where artistic vision meets sustainable living just five blocks from the world-famous Santa Fe Plaza. This unique 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom property enchants from the moment you enter through the whimsical front gate created by renowned Galisteo artist John Massey. The home showcases remarkable historic character with original Santa Fe Penitentiary fencing enclosing the entire property, complete with original iron keys - perfect for pet owners. Venetian plaster finishes & tile flooring downstairs add authentic southwestern elegance, while beautiful hardwood floors grace the main living area and two upper level bedrooms, complemented by a cozy wood-burning kiva fireplace in the living room. Sustainable living features abound in this thoughtfully designed home. The south-facing passive solar design includes a bermed-in lower level that stays naturally cool in summer. The property boasts a 1,400-gallon underground rainwater collection system, mature low-water gardens, and organic raised beds cultivated for 18 years. A super-efficient 92% Lochinvar hydronic heating system minimizes utility costs, while energy-efficient induction cooking and double-pane low-E windows enhance efficiency. The roof was recently recoated in 2025. The outdoor spaces create a true paradise with a tranquil stone and sculpture garden and mature pond featuring over a dozen Koi fish, water lilies, and aquatic plants. A complete outdoor kitchen and dining pavilion with fireplace built from reclaimed Santa Fe Plaza brickwork extends living space seamlessly. Two separate living areas with independent entrances offer exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living, home office space, or rental income potential. The downstairs entrance can be converted back to garage access if desired. This is more than a home—it's a Santa Fe lifestyle combining historic charm, artistic flair, and modern efficiency.
