2 Aula Ct, Santa Fe, NM 87508

Sited on 1.6 acres with views of the Sandia and Ortiz mountains, the exceptional design of this 3 bedroom/2 ½ bath 2340 sq ft home with an attached studio/flex room is the perfect blend of Pueblo and passive solar architecture. Designed by “Ecotect” Stefan Merdler of Arco Construction and remodeled by Econest architect Paula Baker-Laporte, one experiences a light-filled living room with beamed/tongue and groove ceilings, an artistic fireplace and wall-to-wall South-facing Hurd windows and glass doors that lead to a beautiful South-facing flagstone patio. The kitchen and dining area are connected to the living room and designed as separate areas with varying ceiling heights, adding to the interesting architectural features of the property. The primary suite is on the upper East wing of the home, offering great privacy and the West wing includes a full bathroom and 2 bedrooms, one of which is a lovely bedroom/den with a kiva fireplace and pocket doors. The studio space is the added plus to this special home and the 2 sheds, combined with the oversized 2-car garage, offer the homeowner exceptional storage. Since taking ownership in 2021, the present owners have made the following improvements to the property: a new foam roof by Southwest Spray Foam with a 10-year transferable warranty, new canales, all new skylights, new glass and screens for the Hurd windows, the installation of “smart thermostats” for managing the temperature from afar and the list goes on! The house is beautifully sited, located adjacent to a large green belt, offering direct access to Eldorado's great trail system. This property is exceptional in location, design and maintenance; an Eldorado beauty.
