Located on 1.25 acres, a mere 4 miles from the Plaza, Casa del Sol feels like country living ten minutes from town. The Casa has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, ample privacy, stunning mountain views, and fantastic light. This classic Pueblo style adobe home was built by hand by artist Paul Glickman with careful attention to detail. You'll find all the classic finishes vigas and beams, high ceilings, corbels, pretty wood doors, Saltillo tile floors, nichos and 4 fireplaces- kivas and 2 wood burning stoves. The main living areas have an open feel between kitchen, dining and living, as well as high ceilings with clerestory windows for added light and passive solar gain. The South-facing flagstone patio off the kitchen, as well as the Northwest outdoor area off the living room, are perfect for indoor and outdoor living and entertaining. A highlight of this home is the Loretto-inspired wooden spiral staircase to the second-floor primary bedroom, with custom bamboo floors, a wood-burning stove, and an ensuite bath. Outside the upstairs bedroom, a wrap-around deck makes it easy to enjoy big sunset and sunrise views. Down a few steps from the front entry is the guest bedroom, offering good separation and privacy, as well as a cozy corner kiva fireplace. The third bedroom, with its separate entry, can serve several functions: home office, guest suite, den, or studio, and has a wood stove insert in the fireplace as well as a sink. With the adobe construction and a mini split for cooling, the house stays comfortable in winter and summer. A ground-mount solar array provides a surplus of energy almost every month.
