SUPERB HOME WITH LOVELY OUTDOOR SPACES AND FANTASTIC VIEWS! The majesty of Taos Mountain is ever present in this charming pueblo style 3 bedroom, 2 bath residence in the desirable Weimer area. As you approach the front entry of the home, you are enchanted by a front courtyard and panoramic views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The home is designed and perfectly positioned on the southerly end of the one-acre parcel to capture, from both inside and outside the home, the natural surrounding beauty while still ensuring ample privacy. The great room design, which features a sunken living room with grand Kiva fireplace, spacious kitchen with breakfast counter, and separate dining room, is showcased by multiple picturesque windows along the north and east sides, providing abundant natural light and delightful views of the courtyard and panorama from Wheeler to the eastern foothills. The master bedroom and bath are generously sized and privately located at the north end of the home, and there are two additional bedrooms with a full shared bathroom. The 1700 sf home is charmingly finished in traditional southwestern accents, such as nichos, viga and tongue-in-groove ceilings, and Saltillo tile floors which together emanate the warmth and essence of a northern New Mexico home. The outdoor spaces are truly amazing: picturesque, entertaining and practical. The front courtyard is enhanced by a large flagstone patio with thoughtful landscaping of beautiful Pion, large Austrian and Foxtail pine trees, Russian Sage, butterfly bushes, honey suckle, lilac bushes and gardening areas, which together bring a sense of peace and tranquility, almost like a private sanctuary. The current owner has created a birder's paradise attracting many birds including Western Tanagers, Evening Grosbeaks, Spotted Towhees, Hummingbirds, Quail, Flickers, Magpies, and Doves at the many feeders located around the property. The substantial deck in the backyard, extending almost the width of the house, is fenced for privacy and is just right for enjoying sunset views while backyard grilling, soaking in the hot tub or watching fireworks on the 4th of July. A large side and rear area of the property is fenced and furnished with a doghouse for your canine members of the family. This beautiful home, which has been lovingly maintained by the same owner for over two decades, is suitable as a primary or secondary residence, and, with proper permitting, may be eligible for vacation rentals. It is conveniently located near the primary medical center and is just a short distance to the historic Taos Plaza with shopping, dining, galleries and museums. It is also ideally located for recreation and adventure close to walking and hiking trails, about ten minutes away from one of New Mexico's premier golf courses and a short drive to world class skiing and summer recreation at Taos Ski Valley as well as resorts at Angel Fire, Sipapu and Ojo Caliente. This very special property is competitively priced, so call for your appointment to see it soon!
