872 Don Cubero

On one of the sweetest streets in South Capital, and in the revered Wood Gormley school district, this 100 year old 4 bed 3 bath split level home has been beautifully updated and refurbished! One enters through an exceptional perennial filled front garden on drip, under apple, apricot and peach trees to the hand crafted curved front door and into the entry hall. Both the living and dining rooms are nicely proportioned with plenty of windows and great light, and the living room fireplace has a wood burning insert. From the French doors of the living room is a room adjacent to the South facing greenhouse, that makes a great study/office, exercise or media room and then a back bedroom with walk in closet. There is another bedroom off the front hall and the two bedrooms share a full bath. The newly remodeled cook’s kitchen, has both farmhouse and prep sinks, leathered Taj Mahal quartzite counters, custom cabinets, induction cooktop, 2023 Blue Star appliances and a cozy eat in space by the door to the back garden. The primary bedroom is up 4 steps and feels like living in a tree house with greenery out all the windows, and a newly remodeled en suite bath enjoying a marble countertop and Hans Grohe shower. Down some steps from the main level is the very private guest suite with outside access, hand crafted stained glass window, en suite bath and large closet. The back garden is fully fenced with a covered portal for al fresco dining and grilling and roll down sunscreens on the West side for shade from the summer sun. There are also raised bed gardens for your veggies, two grape bushes as well as 750 gallons of water catchment for supplemental watering. The old one car garage is being used as a workshop, but could also revert to garage space. A unique plus in Santa Fe is a large basement with a wine cellar, laundry, dark room and plenty of storage! There are so many upgrades for this cool casa!!! Including new electrical wiring and electric panel, new on demand hot water heater and toilets too! An enormous bonus is the solar array, which power the new European electric baseboards and has eliminated any electric bills for the past 5 years. This is a most special home with the old wood floors, nichos, classic windows and an absolutely stunning garden which includes native grasses, echinacea, sages, hummingbird mints, lavender, yarrow, penstemon, columbine, spring bulbs- snow drops, grape hyacinths, daffodils and tulips; and herbs- hardy rosemary, sage, mint, tarragon and chives.
