Architecture Wednesday: Classic Pueblo-Style Home in Santa Fe

Oh yes. I could live in this house and I could live in this town.

This 3,011-square-foot, three-bedroom, three bathroom beauty is located in Santa Fe’s historic Eastside neighborhood and evokes the traditional Pueblo-style architecture—sometimes called Pueblo Revival—of the American Southwest, which takes direct inspiration from Native American pueblo architecture and are often constructed from adobe and feature flat roofs and stuccoed walls.

Brick floors and traditional vigaslarge, rough-hewn wooden ceiling beams—are found throughout the home and the living room features one of the home’s five kiva fireplaces with a long, connected bench, known as a banco.

In the dining room French doors on either side offer direct access to the outdoors, as well as allowing a cool evening breeze to enter the home, and there’s another kiva fireplace that partially encloses the kitchen at the far end of the space. The updated kitchen features Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances and white-painted cabinets and open shelves with zigzag details match the bright, plastered walls.

A peaceful library with another cozy fireplace and a wall of built-ins and French doors screams a glass of Pinot and a good book on a WINTER’S NIGHT.

The principal bedroom has its own fireplace, as well as French doors on both sides of the room, as well as an en suite bathroom. There are two other bedrooms, and two bathrooms, each with beautiful tile-work and colorful sinks..

At the rear of the home is a large courtyard with a sheltered patio and yet another outdoor fireplace, perhaps for living outside as weather permits.

As I said, I live for the beams and the brick floors and the colorful tile and that outdoor space and all those cozy nooks and fireplaces.

  1. Very pretty.
    And perfect style for New Mexico, right? My friend, who lived in Denver and visited New Mexico often tells me the walls are usually super thick. Nice rooms and I love the outside, too.

    XOXO

    1. The walls are thick and keep the home cool in summers and warm in winters. This is a house I could live in every single room of.

    2. Take an Advil, Bobulah. I even like the white walls here because all of the wood accents and those big hard tubular beams need something to widen out the rooms. Now, I'd be worried about tarantulas, scorpions and rattlers, but you can't have everything.

  3. What a lovely place. It just needs some blue. Not pastel. Not navy. A nice medium blue.

    Love,

  4. Nice, but too much white. Color is where it's at!

    1. I agree with Deedles that the white let's the wood speak the loudest.

  5. Doing a reply from my phone is also a nightmare. Would not let me sign in using my blogger account even though I was already signed in using my blogger account. Go figure. It must be me.Just want to say that hubby and I looked at houses in Santa Fe 6 1/2 years ago. Long story short nothing we could afford that was livable. My dermatologist said do you know how to become a millionaire in Santa Fe? Come here with 2 million. Which is why we are living 30 miles outside of the city in Cochiti Lake. Even hear the prices have gone up. Our house is nothing like what you showed in this post however there are homes in Cochiti Lake that are as nice or nicer than the one you showed for well under what they would cost in Santa Fe. Check Realtor.com. Come visit. We have friends that live in Santa Fe. Out of our league but good friends none the less.

    1. New Mexico is one of my favorite spots in the country. I nearly took a job at an art gallery in Santa Fe in the way way back.

  6. Nice!
    Can't remember if I've been to New Mexico - our parents
    dragged us all over the place.

  7. Oh yes...now this is so me to a t! Clean, bright, earthy while being a tad chic. And what's not to love about the beamed ceiling? LOVE the well appointed kitchen.

  11. I love everything about it except those big round beams. They're okay outside, but not in the interior, I prefer a plain flat ceiling.

    1. That's one of the trademarks of Pueblo style; you get to see the craftsmanship.

  12. Yes, but I will add a few colorful accents, and put in the rest of the kitchen. What is it with the commercial style ranges, $15,000 for that and I have to bend over to get to the oven, I don't bend very well anymore.

    1. I love how the wood beams and doors and cabinetry are the star since the walls are so plain.

  13. Yes. Love everything about it, except the white living room furniture. I am not living with white furniture. Me? Either I could never sit on it or it would look like hell in five minutes. Plus... animals - cat/dog fur... sigh. No. No white furniture. But everything else... so lovely. Thanks, Bob.

  15. Love it!! The beams are to die for. So brown and white! I would town down the white or add some DAMN COLOR!!

    Can you imagine sitting on the patio during the summer? Would be nice during the winter months and or after the sun goes down.
