About 1692 Upper Canyon
Set along treasured Upper Canyon Road, this distinctive residence offers authentic Santa Fe character, remarkable flexibility, and immediate access to one of the city's most celebrated cultural and natural corridors. Canyon Road's galleries, restaurants, and historic atmosphere are only minutes away, while the Cerro Gordo Trailhead and Randall Davey Audubon Center and Sanctuary place hiking, biking, birding, and the foothills close at hand.The residence includes three traditional bedrooms, along with additional flexible spaces that allow for expanded accommodations or up to five sleeping areas, depending on how the home is used. Five separate entrances, two living areas, a south-facing solarium, and portions of the residence that can function independently create meaningful versatility for a primary residence, second home, multigenerational use, or potential vacation rental (subject to applicable regulations).The absence of an HOA adds an increasingly rare degree of freedom in this highly desirable Eastside setting.The generous kitchen, formerly arranged with dining for six, includes a gas fireplace and the warmth of a true gathering space. Each of the two living areas also has its own fireplace, contributing to the home's unmistakable Santa Fe character. Five fireplaces are found throughout the residence.An Anasazi-inspired stairway leads to the upper-level retreat, where two dramatic eight-by-eight-foot windows capture the changing light, mountain views, and surrounding pinon-covered hills. Oak floors and hand-finished American clay walls give this level warmth and artistry, while an expansive balcony and 14-by-14-foot deck extend the experience outdoors.A newer roof with a transferable warranty offers an important practical benefit for the next owner.The grounds reflect the layered character of old Santa Fe, with an acequia lined in moss rock, terraced areas, established fruit trees, garden beds, mature pinon, and flagstone walkways. The landscape offers room to garden, gather, and enjoy the natural rhythm of Upper Canyon, where deer are frequent visitors.Neighboring 1710 Upper Canyon Road is also available for purchase. Together, the two properties could create a broader Upper Canyon compound with possibilities for guest accommodations, multigenerational living, rental income, creative use, or a legacy Eastside holding.
