This custom-built 4,200 sq. ft. adobe home off Old Santa Fe Trail with commanding south and west views is a must see. Perched on 1.875+ acres, the handsome pueblo style home is purposely sited for privacy at the end of the cul-de-sac to maximize views to the Ortiz, Sandia and Jemez Mountains. Entering the residence through an oasis-like courtyard, with 4 bedrooms, 5 baths, an office w/patio and basement walk-out which could also serve as a media/den or 5th bedroom, this property offers terrific flexibility. The great room and large entertaining portal capture the city lights and unobstructed sunset views. A formal dining area is adjacent to the chef’s kitchen graced with beautiful, custom hand-carved cabinetry. High-end finishes include, 3 kiva wood-burning fireplaces, plaster walls, granite & quartz counter tops, wood plank and coved ceilings, vigas, skylights, random width hickory, oak and travertine floors. New, custom-designed wrought iron fencing, professional landscaping with two outdoor water features, 3-car garage and completely enclosed perimeter fencing make this an ideal property. Just within the city limits, 745 Placita has a distinctive country feel but is a mere 5 minutes from town. Hiking trails, golf, clubs (tennis, gyms, pools), schools, museums & Harry’s are all nearby.
