Description
A private acre, established gardens, and classic Santa Fe character, all in a remarkably central location. Just off Cordova Road and approximately seven minute drive to the Plaza, 1238 Madrid Road offers the feeling of a tucked-away retreat with restaurants, shopping, and everyday conveniences just down the road. The three-bedroom, 2 3/4-bath residence reflects classic Spanish Territorial style, with traditional brick coping, warm Spanish-inspired colors, and architectural details that give the home a strong sense of place. Inside, an open living area is anchored by a fireplace, creating a comfortable gathering space with an easy, informal flow. The generous kitchen offers abundant workspace and looks onto the patio and gardens, reinforcing the connection between the interiors and the surrounding landscape. The primary suite is set apart on its own, with a soaking tub and spacious walk-in shower. Step outside to a private enclosed patio, where an outdoor shower offers a wonderfully unexpected way to enjoy Santa Fe's blue skies and warm summer days. The grounds are a defining part of the property. Mature landscaping, fruit trees, a fenced yard, and a generous lawn create a green, secluded setting rarely associated with such a convenient in-town location. An inviting patio provides space for long lunches, evening gatherings, or quiet mornings outdoors, while a dedicated irrigation water source supports the established landscape. A separate studio or office provides a peaceful place to work from home, and an additional craft room or workshop offers dedicated space for painting, making, hobbies, or projects. What makes it particularly compelling is the balance it strikes: approximately an acre of breathing room and mature landscape without giving up the ease of central Santa Fe living. Head down the road for daily errands, reach the Plaza in about seven minutes, then return home to gardens, privacy, and the enduring character of Santa Fe architecture.
