Storied Santa Fe icon Betty Stewart's personal residence. On a private lane, the electric-gated Tesuque estate includes a two-bedroom guesthouse, an 8+vehicle motor court, with a fenced acre of beautifully landscaped grounds. Mere minutes to downtown Santa Fe, yet a world apart. Betty's Northern New Mexico architecture features multiple portals, soaring pitched beamed ceilings, tumbled brick floors, and thick adobe walls with her signature fireplaces and handsome deep-set windows. The elegant living room accesses a lush garden with deep portals for al fresco dining and entertaining. A splendid, handsomely equipped country kitchen with its generous dining area and impressive butler’s pantry, is thoroughly enjoyed by family and friends. The inviting media/family room includes a wall of built-in cabinetry. Both it and the lovely, serene master suite enjoy outdoor access to landscaped grounds. Upstairs is an enchanting loft guest suite with a dep Juliet balcony and a separate sitting room. The guest house, with both a newly fitted kitchen and an updated bathroom, was significantly enlarged. The sitting/dining area with a flagstone-paved terrace was expanded. A superb second bedroom with outdoor access was created and can beautifully double as living/media room. A comprehensive and extraordinary list of the extensive improvements recently made is available, including the addition of a direct entry oversized two car garage with abundant built-in storage. Come experience this exquisitely detailed renovation. Seamless, low key, and inherently sophisticated, set amongst stunning towering trees of Tesuque.
