On the Arroyo Seco Rim Road En Route to the Slopes ~ This 3BR/2BA/1,747sf adobe with an oversized garage all set on more than half an acre of gently sloping valley land is a unique find these days on the North end of town. Conveniently located within the Los Altos Subdivision, one of Taos's most desirable neighborhoods containing a tennis court and indoor swimming pool, right off NM-150 down the road from Taos Ski Valley. This residence has massive and immersive views of the El Salto cliff faces and Taos Mountain from the back patio, a front courtyard that's walled for private morning coffee, and a New Mexico Blue door that symbolizes hospitality and protection. The interior of the home is decked out with classic New Mexico finishes from the tiled floors, up the custom-cut cabinetry, to the high herringbone T&G viga ceilings. The expansive great room has a corner kiva fireplace, as does the second bedroom downstairs with direct access to a hot tub on the back flagstone patio. The primary bedroom with a large bathroom upstairs possesses a private deck for the lucky family member or friend who will get to take in elevated views of the New Mexico sun setting over the Rio Grande River & Pedernal Volcano out West. Downstairs you'll find the third bedroom, an oversized one-car garage with extra storage, a laundry room, and an open concept kitchen built for entertaining, and most importantly, creating memorable meals after long days of playing in the snow. The quaint village of Arroyo Seco is a short bike ride away for world class dining, art shopping, hiking & snowshoeing up the El Salto del Agua trailhead. The Town of Taos isn't much further, but, why leave when you have a comfortable place to relax around the fireplace?
