Cozy 1-bedroom house near Downtown Plaza & Railyard District

This sweet 100-year-old adobe is situated at the back of a private compound and within minutes of the downtown Plaza and Santa Fe's hip Railyard District. Quiet, secure with a coyote-fenced-in yard and off-street parking for one car, it is also pet-friendly.

The space
I bought this house in September 2015. It was built in the 1920's and has lots of charm. It's a true adobe home. It stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The floors are tiled or hardwood and the house is decorated with a Santa Fe flair. It also has its quirks (i.e. the doorways to the kitchen and dining room are very low. They are fine for me - I'm 5'7" but my 6' foot friends have to duck their heads - I've hung a feather in each doorway to remind you.) I have an AC/Heating split system in the bedroom for a comfortable night's sleep year-round.

My home is eco-friendly (I purchase my products from Santa Fe Soap Station, an environmentally friendly shop that offers eco products for laundry, dish and hand soap, etc. where you bring your containers in for refills to cut down on plastic use.)

It's my home but I also have a casita next door. For your stay I'll have drawers in the dresser and space in the closet cleared for you but you will still see a few of my things tucked in the back. Feel free to use my spices and pantry items. I don't mind. I also provide shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, soap, TP, paper towels, laundry soap, and a clothes drying rack along with coffee (I have a Nespresso machine and milk frother), a drip coffee machine, tea and sugar.

My house is very quiet in a neighborhood set back from the street. (Last winter a friend who stayed over because of snowstorm couldn't believe how quiet it was!) It is east of St Francis inside the inner loop of Paseo de Peralta that starts at St. Francis St., loops around the city and ends at the other end of St. Francis. My house is inside a small compound with 4 other homes that are very nice. Mine sits at the back of the compound - hence quiet and safe. There is off-street parking, but if you have an extra big car you might have to park on the street.

If you're in town for business, I have wireless internet and a desk at which to work. The second bed is a sofa bed in the living room. The living room is at the opposite end of the house from the bedroom. In the living room there is the TV and the fireplace stove so the room is cozy in the winter. Your well-behaved dog is welcome to stay too. I charge a $35 pet fee per night. Sorry no cats and no smoking. FYI, I have AC in the bedroom because that room gets a lot of sun and is warmer than the rest of the house. The rest of the house, because it is a true adobe, stays cool during the summer, but I do have portable fans as well.

Guest access
I have a fenced in yard with a picnic table and umbrella and a hammock. The covered front patio is my favorite spot for morning coffee or an afternoon drink. I have lilac bushes that bloom a couple of times a year, wisteria that blooms in the spring and purple sage in late summer and early fall. I also have an apricot and apple tree with lots of fruit every summer and fall. Feel free to pick and eat some.

Other things to note
I have an outdoor chiminea (fireplace) that you're welcome to use on chilly nights. I will leave you a small stack of firewood.

The bathroom offers excellent touches like a bathtub and bidet, adding a touch of luxury to your stay. Whether you’re unwinding after a day of exploring or simply enjoying some quiet time, my house provides a peaceful escape.
