An air of self-assured grace pervades this refined, inviting home on a corner lot in the gated Eastside community of Los Miradores. An idyllic courtyard with a melodic fountain and a vine-draped arbor introduces the residence, while enviable wraparound gardens include aspens and a brick patio with planting beds and a wood-burning fireplace. An inspiring living room with a soaring ceiling, an oversized fireplace, and numerous tall windows with clerestories feels ideal for both grand gatherings and quiet days and nights at home. Nearby is a formal dining area detailed with corbels, a built-in buffet, and an ornate wrought-iron chandelier. The bright, charming kitchen features colorful hand-painted accents, a breakfast area with a kiva fireplace and a view of the tranquil front courtyard, an island with a gas cooktop, two ovens, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator-freezer. The owner's bedroom is fittingly august, with towering ceilings, tall windows, wonderful light, and an elegant en suite travertine bath. One peaceful guest bedroom opens to the lush front courtyard, while a second with an en suite bath offers a wall of built-ins and access to the gardens. Linking the bedrooms is a skylit hallway painted with a tableau depicting scenes from Santa Fe's famed Burro Alley. The two-car garage provides built-in storage and room for auxiliary appliances. Los Miradores amenities include a swimming pool, a tennis court, a fitness center, impeccably maintained grounds, and an on-site manager.
