This historic home, El Torreon, was built by the artist Frank Applegate in 1927 to be his personal studio. It is an easy walk to Canyon Road, the Plaza and not far from Museum Hill. Extensively remodeled, this 3-bedroom historic treasure comes turnkey with all the furnishings included, except for the art. The main bedroom is downstairs with hand adzed beams, plaster walls, carved doors, walk in closet and lovely ensuite bath with jacuzzi tub, dual sinks and walk in shower. There is good separation with the other bedrooms – one being on the other side of the house, and the 3rd bedroom upstairs in the round torre, which enjoys great light, vigas, fireplace and served as Applegate’s studio back in the day. The fabulous kitchen with new cabinets, sandstone counters, newer fridge and dishwasher and a gas Viking range, is the heart of the home and open to the dining and living room, which also enjoys a fireplace and pretty plaster walls. The new studio/office was created from the old garage and has a separate entry, corner kiva fireplace, coved ceilings and a power room. A covered parking portal was added for covered off street parking! With lovely flagstone patios surrounding El Torreon, there is a cozy seating area adjacent to the separate studio by the outside kiva fireplace, a quiet patio for dining at the side of the house and a hot tub for star gazing on clear nights from your fully enclosed outdoor patio. There is radiant heat, 3 mini splits for cooling and added heat as well as a 3-year-old tankless for the hot water and radiant heat. Come and live your Santa Fe sueno in an authentic piece of history in the heart of the Eastside!
