On The Market: Santa Fe, New Mexico
01/01/2007
Location: Just off the old Santa Fe Trail, in the south-east part of the city.
Background: The home was
originally built during the 1920s in the
traditional Arts and Crafts style using
mostly stone that was quarried
on-site. In 2002, Jordanian architect Meisa
Batayneh added on an
additional 10,000 square feet for the current owners, who
divide their
time between Santa Fe and Jordan. Included in the renovation
was an
updated kitchen with Sub-Zero, Thermador and Wolf appliances. (Click image to enlarge)
Stats: Located on 10 acres, the 15,875-square-foot home includes a Rookwood Pottery fireplace and cherrywood paneling, ceilings and doors that are all original to the home. There is also a roof deck, an outdoor life-size chess set and a Zen garden.
What Sets It Apart: "The
craftsmanship and the details are
unbelievable here," says Realtor Paula
Berthelot. "On the floor of the
entryway is a large mosaic, which is a
reproduction of one found at
Mount Nebo in Jordan, and they also have the only
private Olympic-size
swimming pool in the city." (Click image to enlarge)
