1131 Piedra Rondo Santa Fe, NM 87501

This distinctive Fred-Kline-designed contemporary home in the desirable Sierra de Norte neighborhood was thoughtfully sited to enjoy sweeping views of the Jemez and Sandia Mountains and Santa Fe city lights form its location on 1.29 rugged high-desert acres. A serene central courtyard strewn with aspens, evergreens, thriving perennials, and colorful roses and other flowering plants introduces the pervasive alluring style. Sophisticated and streamlined, the generous interiors begin with an elegant living room featuring soaring beamed ceilings, a Rumford fireplace, and a wall of floor-to ceiling windows admitting wonderful light and outlooks. Beyond are a formal dining room with doors to a portal designed for alfresco outdoor entertaining and a kitchen featuring an island, top-caliber stainless-steel appliances, stunning views, and a comfortable breakfast or sitting area with a fireplace. One of three bedrooms, the primary suite gazes south and west and includes a fireplace in the bedroom and an elegant bath with dual vanities and walk-in closets, a glass-enclosed shower, and a soaking tub with a picturesque view. Each of the two guest bedrooms-well separated for quiet privacy- is accompanied by an en suite bath; one benefits from a kitchenette, a kiva fireplace, and easy access to a relaxing sauna room. On the eastern side of the home is an office with a wraparound built-in desk as well as abundant cabinets, drawers, and bookshelves. Other highlights include walls and lighting ideal for displaying an art collection, a built-in grilling area and an outdoor fireplace on one of the portales, an oversized two car-garage, a versatile studio or workshop with an overhead door, and a large lower-level area ideal for storage, a recreation room, or additional work space. This singular offering is a rare opportunity not to be missed by the eager, discerning buyer.
