This beauty has so much going for it! Tucked among the Art Barns in the Old Ranch community, the home is specifically designed to celebrate Northern New Mexico Farmhouse Architecture. The original house, once owned by well known youth adventure author Gary Paulsen and his wife, artist Ruth Wright Paulsen, was thoughtfully expanded by the current owner in 2011. Main highlights of the home include 3 bedrooms, two of which are ensuite with their own private patio walkouts, and 3 full bathrooms. There's a roomy kitchen/dining great room with a kiva fireplace which opens onto an expansive mountain view patio. The west wing of the home has an additional fireplace, awesome windows and a cozy, closed "loft" space that would make a wonderful office or studio. Each of the ensuite bedrooms has foyer type entries, with the original master having a smaller vestibule type foyer and the north wing bedroom having a larger, "library" area - a nice touch that offers separation from the main living areas. There are covered patios and porches on the northeast and southeast sides of the home and a serene, walled courtyard tucked into the southwest section of the home between the kitchen and the main living room. A few steps from the house is a second studio space that would be a great office, yoga studio or artists space. In-floor radiant heat with three zones, community water and low maintenance, high desert landscaping round out this lovely home. Furnishings are available to purchase.
