About 1343 Acequia Borrada
In the heart of Santa Fe’s charming Las Acequias neighborhood, this two-bedroom, one-bath home with a versatile living room, feels like a private retreat. From the moment you step inside, the house welcomes you with warmth and character. The kitchen is a joyful space, where handcrafted Mexican tiles and a playful backsplash meet the richness of a butcher block counter and the craftsmanship of lifetime-warranted KraftMaid cabinets. Cooking here feels effortless, with newer appliances—including a gas stove—ready for everyday meals or evenings entertaining friends.
The great room is a showstopper, filled with light from high ceilings and a wall of Pella windows that draw your eye to the gardens outside. Downstairs, tile floors ground the space, while upstairs, bamboo flooring adds calm. A remodeled bath brings a touch of luxury, while details like low VOC paint, newer stucco, and a reliable membrane roof bring peace of mind.
Step beyond the windows and you’ll find the soul of this home: a lush, lovingly planted garden that changes with the seasons. Imagine spring mornings with blossoms from apple, pear, and cherry trees, summer afternoons shaded by desert willow, and autumn evenings gathering pears or apricots. Black currant bushes, lavender, roses, day lilies, yarrow, and trumpet vine create an ever-changing canvas of color and fragrance. Raised beds and a composting area, tucked behind a traditional wood fence, invite you to nurture your own harvest.
Life here offers more than beauty. Las Acequias is a community with a large park and playground just around the corner, and its location couldn’t be more convenient—Santa Fe Place Mall, restaurants, and shopping are minutes away. Still, when you are home, the world feels far away, as though you’ve found your own pocket of serenity in the city. This is more than a house. It’s a sanctuary where every detail has been considered, every corner tells a story, and every day feels connected to the rhythms of nature.
