This lovely and distinctive home was built in 2009 and features many quality upgrades such as beautiful travertine floors, hand troweled plaster walls, vigas, beams and impressive stonework details. The floorplan is wonderful and inviting with generously sized living and dining rooms, a gorgeous kitchen with custom cherry cabinets, Brazilian granite countertops and a casual dining area. The home benefits from protected open space across the street and in the surrounding areas. The outdoor entertaining and living area is nicely protected, very private, and enjoys an outdoor fireplace. Refrigerated air conditioning keeps things cool in the summer. Aldea is a wonderful subdivision with a village concept northwest of downtown Santa Fe. This location provides easy access to the 599 bypass and the Interstate, resulting in an easy commute to Los Alamos, Albuquerque and all points North and South.
