Description
Set well off the road on over two, view-studded acres, this buoyant home offers a pleasing balance of formality and free-spiritedness. Elegant, carved-wood entry doors lead to classic foyer with sweeping staircase. The living areas are defined, yet open. A sun-filled Great Room with soaring ceilings and a corner fireplace flows to a dining room with access to the back portal and inviting gardens. The kitchen is spacious and comfortable. Well-outfitted for the cook and entertainer with a SubZero refrigerator, double oven, outsized butcher block island with prep sink and a walk-in pantry, it includes an intimate nook, with kiva fireplace, and a door to a covered portal for casual gatherings. Upstairs, two decks and an abundance of windows, including a bank of three over the Primary Bedroom's soaking tub, provide many points for taking in the soul-soothing views. There's also a studio with double-door entry and operable windows. A marvel of mature landscaping surrounds the home including 8 fruit trees, established perennial beds, robust pinyons, a rock fountain and a romantic patch of meadow. Located in La Mariposa, a dozen minutes from downtown.
