Tucked off the main road in the heart of Tesuque, this secluded gem is the quintessential Santa Fe retreat, filled with authentic charm. Originally built by painter, poet, writer, and Santa Fe Living Treasure Myrtle Stedman for use as her art studio, the casita has been restored and expanded to include a spacious bedroom, a spa like bath, and thoughtful storage, yet it retains all of its original appeal. A path winds through lush, colorful walled gardens to the home and its shady, relaxing main portal, which is ideal for living, dining, and entertaining. Other highlights include a cook's kitchen with stainless-steel Bosch appliances and granite countertops, a daybed window reading guest nook with built-in bookshelves, an inviting open living and dining area, and a serene master bedroom opening to a portal enveloped by grasses, flowers, and mature trees. Kiva fireplaces, pigmented-plaster walls, divided-light windows, French doors, skylights, hand-hewn ceiling beams, decorative corbels, coyote fencing, and handsome tumbled brick floors contribute to the classic ambience. This enviable address is the ideal place to enjoy serenity, solitude, and natural beauty in a convenient location just walking distance from the Tesuque Village Market and minutes from downtown Santa Fe. Ample parking is offered in a courtyard setting.
