Located in Espanola, off of Riverside Drive, is a moderate sized Spanish style, adobe compound. There is a main home with oak flooring in the common areas, as well as, Saltillo tile. The bancos located throughout the house, provides that old fashioned, traditional sitting space that one could easily soften up, utilizing cushions and throw pillows. The Mexican tiled bathrooms add to the authenticity of the home design. The ceilings, in the common areas, are adorned with the traditional, Northern New Mexico vigas and latillas. A unique focal point, is the carved pillars that border two separate verticals walls and intersect with a horizontal carved beam, bordering the ceiling. The little touches added to the main home, accents Spanish Colonial charm the home represents. There is an attached two car garage (633 sqft) with storage space. There is a smaller dwelling attached to this home by the carport between the two structures, that together, represents the amazing Spanish Colonial architecture brought to the new world by the Spaniards in the late 15 hundreds. The pitched roof and dormers, along with the private courtyards, and the adobe construction, takes a person back in time. The photos tell the rest of the story. Together, multiple families could live in the compound. The compound could also serve as office spaces or home and offices. An incredible place to live or work, surrounded by old fashioned, traditional charm and comfort. Please, be sure to look through the photos and walk through the homes, as you view the 3-dimension videos. An easy 20 to 45 minute drive to Santa Fe, Los Alamos, Taos, and Abiquiu.
