Spanish charm meets modern touches in this exquisite single-story home with casita in Hacienda Santa Fe. On 1.02 acres on a quiet cul-de-sac, this lovely transitional style home features an ideal layout with a formal living room, open dining, kitchen and family room with high ceilings and beautiful terracotta and hardwood flooring in one wing, while the four bedrooms wrap around the opposite wing. This ideal horseshoe-shaped floor plan creates the perfect indoor-outdoor sanctuary with french doors throughout the home opening to a central cloistered pool and garden area which catches the sunshine and breezes, while offering optimal privacy. Benefiting from multiple renovations including a raised roof in the kitchen and family room, an opened dining room wall, a completely refurbished kitchen, and new light fixtures that complement the home’s natural beauty, the ambiance of the home is light and airy with both an earthy and modernized feel. The idyllic entrance to this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath hacienda with a 3-car garage and a wraparound driveway welcomes visitors through a beautiful garden with roses, a fountain and picturesque hardscape. The wide wooden double doors open to a small foyer with coat closet and two small steps down to the formal living room with built-in display and storage shelving, cozy wood-burning fireplace, a single wide wooden beam across the high ceiling and french doors opening to the jasmine-wrapped colonnades around the pool. Down the hall, past the powder room, the dining room with new canned and hanging lighting was opened up in a 2010 renovation, so that it flows right into the family room with a beautiful granite wood burning fireplace, lifted ceiling and large picture windows. The inviting two-toned taos taupe and torrey green kitchen, which encompasses a window-filled breakfast nook, features a chef’s island with granite top, eat-in bar and induction stove top and offers top-of-the-line appliances including a Dacor double oven and built-in microwave. A laundry room with built-in desk and storage sits between the kitchen and garage on one end, while french doors open to the garden and patio with sitting area and bbq on the other end. Steps down from the patio, the casita with bathroom, and mini kitchenette with sink and refrigerator, can be used as guest quarters, a pool house, or studio. The property includes a small gated and turfed dog run, as well as a fenced yard with select fruit trees and succulents. Encompassing two ensuite and two additional bedrooms, the private wing of the home offers a spacious primary bedroom with direct access to the pool, as well as built-in shelving, a luxurious bath with soaking tub, separate shower, and dual vanities. The equally generously sized second bedroom includes built-ins and a private fenced patio. A third window-filled bedroom near the front entrance and looking out onto the garden makes an ideal home office or gym. The fourth bedroom overlooks the central pool and garden enclave.
