607 Salazar St, Santa Fe, NM – SOLD

About the property

607 Salazar sits back from the road in St. Anne’s, behind gardens dense enough that the house is not the first thing you see. It is 1,005 square feet with two bedrooms and a bath, built in 1992 on an eighth of an acre, and it went under contract the day it came to market.

The Webster Estates team represented the seller in 2022.

The house and the garden

The house is small, warm, and finished honestly: tile and wood floors, a wood stove, an updated kitchen and bath, and a good closet off the primary bedroom. The second bedroom had been given over to an office, which is how the house had actually been lived in and the use it suits best.

The garden is the reason to buy it. There is an orchard of pears, apricots, and apples, vegetable and flower beds, and a deck that looks out over the whole green tangle of it. Two well built sheds handle overflow and garden equipment. On an eighth of an acre this close to town, that is a serious piece of edible landscape rather than a decorative one, and it takes years to establish.

Worth being plain about the trade: there is no garage and no off street parking, and no cooling beyond opening the windows.

The neighborhood

St. Anne’s sits south of the Railyard off Hickox, one of the older working neighborhoods inside the city, where the lots are small and the street trees are mature. Tune-Up Cafe is around the corner, and more dining has followed it. Our first time Santa Fe buyer guide covers this end of the market and the Santa Fe market archive collects our work across the city. Our Select Solds are the record of what we have closed.

The schools are Aspen Community Magnet School and Santa Fe High. Another Webster Estates Select Sold on this side of town is 260 Camino Del Olmo.

About the transaction

We represented the seller at 607 Salazar. It went under contract on the day it listed and closed above the asking price. That happens when a house has one specific thing nobody else is offering, in this case an established edible garden in walking distance of the Railyard, and when the listing says so plainly rather than burying it under adjectives about the kitchen.
