From the Agent: "This pueblo revival–style masterpiece is a former home of the iconic Santa Fe artist and architect Alexander Girard. Charles and Ray Eames spent vacations here, and Georgia O’Keeffe was a friend and frequent visitor. Here you’ll find a rare Santa Fe Eastside combination: expansive space, massive views, and a notable heritage. Thoughtfully renovated with a minimalist sensibility, the home features well-preserved details throughout—from coved ceilings to massive vigas, organic-shaped fireplaces, nichos galore, sun-filled spaces, high ceilings, paneled wood doors, and a Girard-textiled ceiling. There are two primary suites, one on each level. Three additional bedrooms, plus an office, offer separation and privacy. A sitting room, sunroom, dining room, and light-filled studio with balcony await your artistic bent."

The historic residence sits just a block away from the famed Canyon Road, offering easy access to numerous parks, trails, galleries, and cafes.
