The Santa Fe’s name couldn’t be more appropriat­e. This Pueblo-Spanish Revival home shows influences of both Spanish Colonial buildings and American Indian pueblos.

The Santa Fe’s name couldn’t be more appropriat­e. This PuebloSpan­ish Revival home shows influences of both Spanish Colonial buildings and American Indian pueblos.

Stucco walls, stepped parapets and exposed log ends are characteri­stic of the style, which flourished in and around the town of Santa Fe, New Mexico, in the 1930s.

Inside, the home is bright, spacious and totally contempora­ry. An abundance of natural light washes into the hexagonal great room, with its high ceiling, through double sets of wide windows on three sides. This room offers a panoramic view, as does the covered patio that spans the entire rear.

While standing at the sink in the uniquely angled kitchen, you can survey the great room, as well as the patio and landscape beyond. It’s a sweeping view. An eating bar fronts the sink, a walk-in pantry fills one corner and counter space is expansive enough to accommodat­e a small team of cooks.

The owners’ suite is well-isolated from secondary bedrooms, and has two large walk-in closets that buffer sound from the great room, as well. Noteworthy luxuries in its private bathroom include a spa tub, shower, two basins and a separately enclosed toilet. Sliding glass doors in the roomy sleeping area offer yet another phenomenal rear view and open to a recessed, semiseclud­ed section of the patio. This would be an ideal spot for a hot tub.

The larger bedroom, on the opposite side of the Santa Fe’s hexagon, has a similar view and patio access to the rear. This bedroom also has a private bathroom, while the other bedroom shares a bathroom with the rest of the household. Laundry appliances are just outside the bedroom doors, in a roomy passthroug­h utility room that links with the three-car garage.
