The history of Canyon Road is alive in the artisanal character of these two, Santa Fe classics. This successful Short Term Rental, set on a double lot, offers parking and storage in a desirable setting close to Patrick Smith Park. Each unique residence has been remodeled to a modern standard of comfort yet retains the imprint of its storied past. The back house, said to have started as a stable and tack shop in the early 1800s, has an Acequia Madre address and a dedicated parking spot at the top of a wooden staircase. A flagstone path and patio, with space for dining, a hot tub and a manageable dash of greenery, borders the home. The ceramic artwork of artist and former owner, Patricia Hoback, adds delightful dimension to both properties. The front house, rumored to have been a dance hall in the late 1800s, was Hoback's gallery. Between the two structures is a sheltered patio for alfresco meals and outdoor leisure, a Hoback artwork winking down from the wall. Enjoy the two dwellings for yourself, rent one for offset income, or rent both for maximum investment return. Buyers seeking history, authentic quality, and flexibility in the walkable heart of the Historic Eastside need look no further than this charismatic duet.
Santa Fe’s Historic Eastside
With some homes dating back centuries, these neighborhoods boast some of Santa Fe’s most photographed adobe homes and gardens. Hosting a mix of multi-generational families and newcomers, the homes, often hidden behind high walls and accessed by narrow, dirt lanes, recall the city’s early history and lend Santa Fe a unique heritage.
