Designed by the legendary John Gaw Meem in 1935 for Berkely Johnson, this historic Santa Fe home is subtly dramatic, while sublimely comfortable, with the warmth and patina of years, and provenance. The commanding living room has very high beamed ceilings with brilliant clerestory windows that bathe the house in sunshine; a graceful pueblo center fireplace; nichos in the walls; original classic oxblood concrete floors that glow with age; and perfect walls for an art collection! From above, a reading loft with a European balcony outside overlooks this great room, as does a roomy library below. In the cozy modern kitchen a corner kiva fireplace perches at eye level among granite countertops, handmade cabinets, and a handy breakfast peninsula. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 baths in the main house, plus an office. The attached guesthouse, with exterior door, contains a main room, kitchenette, bath, & extra sleeping loft. Nearby the sunroom welcomes you with windows down two sides, a huge skylight, and a most cheerful ambiance embracing the central brick courtyard next to it - a wonderful, lush private space for entertaining under the apricot tree and under the stars. Perennial landscaping & old trees grace the 1/3 acre corner lot. It is in a marvelous location; an easy amble to the Santa Fe Plaza & Museum Hill, in the coveted Wood Gormley School District. This is the first time this architecturally important jewel has become available in over 40 years
