Description

Rare live/work flexibility in one of Santa Fe's most walkable in-town locations. Zoned C-1 (Office and Related Commercial), this 3-bedroom, 2-bath condominium at Placitas Don Diego offers a genuine dual-use setup: live in the unit, run a business from it, or split the space between the two. C-1 zoning permits a wide range of uses on-site — professional and business offices, arts and crafts studios and galleries, medical/dental offices, banking, and more — and the HOA's recorded CCR amendment specifically authorizes business identification signage (subject to Board design approval), a rare allowance for a condominium association. Inside, Santa Fe character throughout: vigas and beamed ceilings, a kiva fireplace, and an updated kitchen with clean lines and abundant natural light. Two designated parking spaces and a fenced, private courtyard round out the practical side. Short-term rental use is also permitted under city zoning with simple registration — no STR permit required — adding income flexibility alongside the live/work angle. Location is the standout: steps from Trader Joe's, Natural Grocers, CVS, and Walgreens, and walking distance to Clafoutis French Bakery, Maria's New Mexican Kitchen, Annapurna's, and El Mercado Plaza — daily errands and client-facing convenience in one address. HOA is $900/quarter, covering community area maintenance, insurance, and road maintenance (exterior building and roof are owner-responsibility, so factor that into any commercial build-out plans). A flexible, income-oriented alternative to standard downtown office or retail space, with the option to live on-site.
