Palace Avenue is Santa Fe’s coveted crown jewel of streets–people wait years for an opportunity to own a home here. Elegant, prestigious, and with that magical old Santa Fe feel. You’re moments from Canyon Road’s galleries, close to Santa Fe’s best restaurants, at the epicenter of the city’s internationally celebrated arts scene. Through the front gate, the first thing you see is the magnificent garden by landscape architect Alana Markle, whose work is featured in Sunset magazine and Su Casa. Mature trees offer cooling dappled shade, and the bubbling fountain provides a calming soundtrack. The generous front porch with a classic swing invites you to pause–morning coffee, evening wine and conversations. The adobe wall surrounding the home provides privacy. Fruit trees line the side of the property. Inside this treasure of a home, discover what makes it so special: soaring ceilings, incredible interior design, and light that pours through every room. The living room glows with natural brightness, hardwood floors gleam beneath those high ceilings, and a wood-burning brick fireplace that becomes the heart of winter evenings. Move into the kitchen designed for people who actually cook–a chef’s stove, upgraded appliances, and a Moroccan tile backsplash. The kitchen opens up to another living area with exposed brick and a picturesque bay window. The primary suite is your sanctuary–hardwood floors, high ceilings, walk-in closet with built-in storage, and a spa-like bathroom with clawfoot soaking tub and natural light. Downstairs is cozy and inviting: a den with thick exposed stone walls and three bedrooms, each with generous storage. Outside, Alana Markle’s design continues to shine–thoughtfully curated spaces for al fresco dining, a hot tub for unwinding under the stars. Plenty of room to expand parking, plant a full garden, or even add a swimming pool. You’re not buying potential–you’re buying perfection already grown by one of the region’s most sought-after landscape architects.
