399 and 341 Plaza Balentine

Historic Eastside (Acequia Madre) 3-bedroom, 4-bath spacious residence offers a rare opportunity to own a once-famed Kate Chapman home. Built in 1927, Chapman’s unique take on Santa Fe style architecture fused the Spanish Pueblo and Territorial styles. Thoughtful renovations include a new roof and select new windows, while carefully preserved details speak to the property’s past with historic cabinetry, one-story asymmetric massing with flat roofs and portals, a variety of windows, doors, hand-carved wooden corbels, vigas, canales, 4 fireplaces and wood and brick flooring. The flexible floor plan includes two distinct living areas, creating an exceptional opportunity for guests, multigenerational living or a private retreat. An additional studio offers further possibilities and is prepared for conversion to a guest house with utilities in place. The landscape maintains the arrangement of two rows of houses facing each other across a private gravel lane, small patios, and remnants of the original orchard from Chapman’s time. 1-car carport and well for irrigation.  This singular residence is moments from the galleries, restaurants and cultural offerings of Canyon Road and downtown Santa Fe.
