524 Garcia Street, Santa Fe, NM – SOLD

About the property

524 Garcia Street is a classic Eastside adobe that turned a hundred years old in the year it sold. It had been held by the same family for fifty nine of those years, which is the sort of tenure that leaves a house with its proportions intact and its additions honest.

The main house is 2,158 square feet with three bedrooms and three baths, and a freestanding casita adds another 1,087, for 3,245 square feet on 0.42 of an acre. There are three kiva fireplaces.

The Webster Estates team represented the seller in 2025, and the house went under contract in ten days above the asking price.

The house

The construction is adobe with frame and stucco where the house grew, and the interior carries vigas and beams throughout. Floors run brick, wood, tile, and concrete by room, which is what a hundred years of careful work looks like rather than a single renovation’s worth of one material. Heat is hot water baseboard and the fireplaces, and there is a basement, which is rare enough in Santa Fe to be worth saying.

The spacious interiors open onto a private walled yard and gardens that have had decades to establish. The casita stands free of the main house and works as guest space, a studio, or an income unit without anyone crossing the main house to reach it.

The neighborhood

Garcia Street runs from Canyon Road up toward Acequia Madre, and this stretch of it is residential in the old sense: rock walls, white gates, and speed humps. It is a short stroll to Canyon Road, the Plaza, the Railyard, the museums, and St. John’s College, and it sits in the Acequia Madre Elementary district, which is its own currency on this side of town.

Our Historic East Side neighborhood guide covers the district and the Historic East Side market archive collects our work in it. See also our Canyon Road neighborhood guide. Webster Estates Select Solds nearby include 634 Garcia Street #25 down the same street, the Gerald Cassidy Estate, and 1155 East Alameda.

The schools are Acequia Madre Elementary, Milagro Middle, and Santa Fe High.

About the transaction

We represented the seller at 524 Garcia Street. The seller instructed that no offers be reviewed before a set date and time, which is a discipline that only works when the listing is right and the market is paying attention. It was, and it did: the house went under contract in ten days and closed above the asking price. A century old adobe on the Eastside with a casita and a walled garden is not a house that needs to be talked up. It needs to be presented accurately and then given room.
