NOTE for HOLIDAY RENTALS: We require arrivals or departures on December 26th or 27th UNLESS you are booking the whole two weeks. Mountain vistas, open landscape, spacious and elegant interior…plus, only a short walk to the town center, The Plaza. Located just two blocks behind Ft. Marcy Park in a private setting with incredible, unobstructed views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Casa Altamira is just a 15-minute walk to the famed Santa Fe Plaza. From here you are ready to explore “The City Different” with the mingling of Native American, Anglo, and Hispanic cultures. Shopping, galleries, museums, and restaurants abound. Whether you are two or more, you will enjoy this pleasant and open three-bedroom, two-bath home decorated in popular Southwestern colors of oranges and golds which complement the furniture, art, and architecture. The living area and two bedrooms are on the main living level. Magnificent views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains can be seen from the living room, dining room, kitchen, and 2nd bedroom. The deck off the living/dining room gives you more unobstructed mountain views. From here you can enjoy the dry and sunny Santa Fe climate while sipping your morning coffee or afternoon Margarita! The living room has a large flat-screen TV, a wood-burning kiva fireplace and a leather sofa and recliner. It is lined with bookcases full of books for your reading enjoyment. The open floor plan creates a large living space, with the dining room (seats six) adjoining the living room. Cooking in the fully equipped kitchen with gas stove will be a delight. You have a mountain view from the kitchen window! There is also a dinette table with easy kitchen access. There are two bedrooms on this main floor that share a full hall bath. The queen bedroom has its own private patio (also with mountain views) and small TV. The other bedroom has two twin beds. Up a half flight of stairs is the king master suite, again with mountain views of the Sangre de Cristos, but also having a deck with southern views of the Sandia Mountains, a lovely place to watch the sunsets! This room also has a flat screen TV, as well as a large desk set up as an office area. The bath has two sinks and a beautifully tiled shower. Full size washer/dryer and air conditioning are house amenities. Of course, all linens, cable TV, and fast WIFI (100 mbps download) are included, as well as a gas barbeque. NOTE: There is only ONE space available in the garage, but additional parking is provided in the driveway for several cars. This house is on a generous size lot. It is private. There are no homes situated to look in your windows or see you on the deck….yet, you are just a few minutes’ walk to the energy of the Plaza. DeVargas shopping plaza is also nearby. The closeness of Ft. Marcy Park has added benefits. There is an open area for dog-walking. (We welcome your dog, however NO CATS, please.) There are pickleball courts, and the Ft. Marcy Community Center has an Olympic size pool, exercise equipment, and classes (yoga, Pilates), all for an extremely reasonable price. Destino Santa Fe is a cooperative, private group of homeowners and we are proud to represent Casa Altamira. NOTE: VRBO QUOTES ARE OFTEN INACCURATE.
