Unique Nanke designed and built Santa Fe Style home in Forest Trails
offers uncommon architectural beauty and attention to detail both inside and out. Rustic elegance and earth-toned hues lend a welcoming warmth and character while privacy and views to the San Francisco Peaks, Thumb Butte and the National Forest abound. Soaring multi-level beamed ceilings supported by rough-hewn posts, generous dual paned windows, recessed niches, solid-core wood doors, and tile floors adorn xxx square feet of main level living including an ample entry, spacious living room with fireplace, large dining room with a custom built-in buffet, well-appointed kitchen with island and hand-made cabinetry, en-suite master and guest bedrooms in a split plan, each with tiled dual vanity, snail shower and fireplace, half bath, laundry with storage and utility sink, and office alcove. Each room looks to the out of doors to private courtyards, a capacious deck, patios, the verdant forest, or panoramic forever views. The lower walkout level offers xxx square feet with stained concrete floor and unlimited uses as in-law or guest suite, art studio, exercise studio, playroom, media room, or workshop. This level features a private covered patio entrance into a large flex room with office-style built-ins and multiple closets, tiled bath with single vanity and large shower, kitchenette, compact office with built-ins, huge workshop adjoining the 2 car garage with workshop space, and a large interior storage room plus basement and utility room storage. Nestled into the natural landscape, the stucco exterior features soft rounded curves complemented by generous windows, earth-toned hues, and exposed natural wood vigas, posts, and beams. Multiple flat roofs are edged with parapet walls drained by decorative and functional canals (scuppers). A meandering pathway leads from the gated entry up and over a bubbling stream and pond and through a verdant landscape to the private entry courtyard and impressive wooden front door. A casual outdoor lifestyle is encouraged by walled courtyards which lend privacy to hot tubing, to those quietly enjoying morning coffee and tea serenaded by bird song, or evening barbecuing and entertaining. Located in the desirable upscale subdivision of Forest Trails, the home enjoys city utilities including water, sewer, trash, and recycling.
