Charming Mountain-View Retreat Close to Town ~ Set in a quiet, private and centrally located neighborhood, this 1,530 sqft home is the perfect blend of New Mexico charm and modern living in the enchanted high desert. A split floor-plan with 2 spacious bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an open concept living, kitchen and dining room space all stitched together by some of the finest finish work you'll find. Park in the carport on a snowy day, walk along the covered portal, and through the front door to the foyer where you will be awe stricken by high-end Southwestern finishes, such as viga & split cedar herringbone ceilings, smooth earth tone walls that subtly mesh together with tile inlaid archways, and a kiva fireplace in the living room corner; all of which enhance the ambiance of an already enlightened residence. The home is kept comfortable and warm by radiant heated & stained concrete floors for optimal efficiency, and extra durable windows that bring in plenty of natural daylight, and frame immersive views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains. The kitchen-dining area will be popular space for hosting friends & family around the large granite counters and island under chic lighting fixtures, while the chef's in the home create tasty memories utilizing high-end stainless steel appliances and thoughtful cabinetry that is ideal for optimal organization. Beside the kitchen you will find the sanctuary of the residence, the primary ensuite, which features a remarkable double vanity bathroom, dedicated privacy toilet, plenty of space for a king size bed, and a second egress to the enclosed backyard. The backyard is partially covered by a second portal with flagstone floors, and will be another popular area for the kids and the pets to enjoy year-round, while you grill and watch sports with Taos Mountain & El Salto as the natural backdrop. Beyond the enclosed space there is plenty more room for gardening and expanding, but that's up to you. Best of all, you're minutes from Taos's top restaurants, shops, schools, and a plethora of outdoor adventures. The residence is even permitted for another bedroom.
