Aldea was designed as a village, featuring custom homes and expansive views. This house is one of the BEST, luckily planted on an elevated lot offering huge views. To the east you'll see the majestic Sangre de Cristo mountain range, where the sun and moon rise up. From this portal you can enjoy your morning coffee and see the sunrise! Sit here in the summertime shade, and enjoy the bubbling fountain, a fully fenced enclosure (dog?) and lovely established gardens plus grand mature trees - all creating an oasis of greenery! When you walk in the front door, you'll immediately see the magic of this house with the expansive and all-encompassing western mountain views...margaritas at sunset anyone? The layout of the house is a large open space concept with a centered living room: focal points are the grand fireplace and views from every window & french doors. The flow continues to a dining space, ample for 12 (Thanksgiving?) with kitchen beyond....all are separate rooms yet open and welcoming. The kitchen will make any cook happy: double ovens, wine cooler, granite counters, gas cook top...and the person doing kitchen duty gets the mountain views! The skylight over the cooks' island is operable, great for air flow. Your primary suite is completely set-apart & private, with fireplace/grand spa bathroom plus closet big enough to share! On the other side of the house you'll find a den adjacent to the living room - the perfect casual TV room. Just beyond the den is a private, set-apart space - home office, reading retreat...anything you want it to be! Down the hall you'll find 2 bedrooms with a nicely appointed full bath in the hallway. There is also a powder room off the living room for guests. To complete the property you'll find an over-sized 2 car garage (extra storage) plus you will enjoy direct access to the kitchen. This house is lovely and livable - views are unbelievable - and combined this offering is unsurpassed. Your Santa Fe home sweet home!
