This $2.5 Million Home in New Mexico Sits Close to a National Historic Landmark
The Plaza in Santa Fe, New Mexico, has been the heart of the downtown community for nearly 400 years, and, today, Indian and Spanish markets lure tourists and locals alike, in addition to community gatherings and concerts. Now, a historic downtown home listed for $2.5 million presents an opportunity to put down roots just a few blocks from the beloved National Historic Landmark. Malissa Kullberg and Joshua Maes of Sotheby’s International Realty hold the listing.
The pueblo-style abode at 511 East Palace Avenue was built in 1912 and has since been updated with a remodeled primary bathroom and powder room, plus refinished wood flooring throughout. Four bedrooms and three full baths are spread across the hillside home’s modest 2,250 square feet of living space, which includes a studio-style guest house. Its private park-like grounds are surrounded by mature trees and flowering perennials.

A soaring exposed wood-beam ceiling hovers above the living room, next to the formal dining room with a kiva fireplace and new Saltillo tile flooring. French doors that open out to the backyard patio from the kitchen flood the space with natural light, highlighting its printed backsplash, gas-range stove, and blue-tiled countertop. The adjoining light-filled breakfast room has room for four or more. Elsewhere, a skylight illuminates the spacious primary bedroom with another kiva fireplace. Its renovated bath sits across the hall with decorative light fixtures and a tiled shower.
Brick-paved grounds on the backside of the home offer ample space for entertaining beneath a wooden pergola. The studio guest house sits alongside a galley kitchen and a quaint living area. One other fireplace is featured here, as well as a sleeping area beneath a wood-beam ceiling that makes the space feel like a tropical hut. A one-car garage rounds out the City Different listing.
