Property Description

Steeped in Santa Fe history and creative legacy, this extraordinary Eastside residence was once home to renowned artist, designer, and architect Alexander Girard, whose distinctive influence remains woven throughout the home. Rich with character, artistry, and a sense of place, this is a property where, as they say, if the walls could talk, they would recount gatherings of luminaries such as Charles and Ray Eames and Georgia O'Keeffe, who frequented and entertained here. Just moments from Canyon Road, the residence offers a rare combination of heritage, privacy, expansive light-filled living spaces, and sweeping views, all within walking distance of world-class galleries, cafés, parks, and trails. Architectural distinction unfolds throughout the home, from Girard's breathtaking textile ceiling in the lounge and irreplaceable original mid-century fireplaces to his beloved nichos, handcrafted doors, and countless thoughtful details that bring warmth and soul to every space. Two primary suites, one on each level, are complemented by additional guest bedrooms, an office, lounge room, sunroom, and dining room. Not to be missed is Girard's oversized studio, complete with a sunroom and balcony; occupying the upper-level studio wing, this remarkable space enjoys a separate entrance, can be privately locked off, and functions beautifully as a guest casita or creative retreat, offering exceptional flexibility for living, working, and entertaining. The chef's kitchen is designed for gathering and inspiration, featuring dual granite-topped islands, two full-sized Sub-Zero refrigerators, a 59¼-inch Lacanche six-burner range, Miele convection oven and microwave, built-in Miele espresso machine, two Bosch dishwashers, a Wolf wall oven, and an adjoining orchid room. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with bancos, outdoor fireplaces, and a hot tub designed for relaxation and entertaining. Featured in Dwell, Mansion Global, Cottages & Gardens, and Elle Decor, this exceptional residence has been thoughtfully updated while preserving the architectural details that make it so special, including vigas, coved ceilings, nichos, paneled wood doors, organic-shaped fireplaces, and Girard's signature design influence throughout.
