The solarium has amazing view and can be used as a greenhouse, homeschool area, dining/entertaining space, home office or artists studio. The main floor of the home was updated in 2021. An incredible bonus is the newly finished upstairs “loft” which can be key-off from the downstairs and has its own entrance. This open concept space has a living room and bedroom area, deluxe bathroom with shower and tub and a custom kitchen. The loft has its own balcony with lovely views of the Jemez Mountains. The main floor is heated with hot water baseboard and passive solar. The upstairs is heated by two vent wall heaters.
