CASA DE VENTANAS (House of Windows) is a light-filled, elegant Southwestern contemporary home with 360 degree views and a separate guest house ideal as a rental unit. Set in an exclusive foothills neighborhood only five minutes from Taos Plaza, both homes are the work of an architectural designer trained at Parsons School of Design in New York. The main house features a great room with abundant windows offering views of Taos Mountain, the western horizon, and the foothills to the east and south. A wood-burning Fireplace Extraordinaire with circulating fan adds functional ambience on winter evenings. The custom light fixtures are by Hubbarton Forge; flooring is Italian through-color porcelain tile with the look of stone. The hand-crafted front door is a Pakistani antique. Designed for gracious entertaining, the kitchen area has a KitchenAid six burner dual fuel range, Bosch dishwasher, pantry-style refrigerator, and granite countertops. A separate bar, with wine fridge beneath, facilitates beverage service and a built-in buffet in the dining area offers additional counter space. Sliders from the kitchen open onto the north portal for outdoor meals. Two wings flank the great room: two bedrooms, full bath, and media room in the west; the master suite, powder room, and utility/crafts room are in the east. The very private master bedroom has a gas fireplace and sliders accessing the outdoor hot tub. The spacious master bathroom has a soaking tub, generous shower, and marble topped floating vanity with dual Kohler sinks. The detached 970 square foot guest house, featuring the same high end design elements as the main house, has a living room with gas fireplace, full kitchen, dining area, king-sized bedroom, full bath, stacked washer and dryer, flagstone patio, and an attached carport with separate driveway. It is located a discrete distance from the main house, allowing renters (or guests) complete privacy. If you seek seclusion, trees, and access to hiking trails, plus convenient access to town, this serene and sophisticated property is an incomparable find.
