82 Avenida Frijoles, Santa Fe, NM – SOLD

About the property

82 Avenida Frijoles is a two story townhome in Aldea de Santa Fe, built in 2005, running to 1,817 square feet with three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and an open mezzanine. It sits about fifteen minutes from downtown.

The Webster Estates team represented the seller, and the sale closed in 2023.

The house

The first floor is open plan, with granite counters, a matching backsplash, and stainless appliances in the kitchen. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and the mezzanine, which opens over the living space rather than closing it off. Two of the bedrooms look at the Sangre de Cristos.

The house is heated by radiant floors, which is the system Santa Fe buyers ask for and the one that makes a winter here comfortable rather than merely survivable, with an evaporative cooler upstairs for the warm months. Floors are carpet, stone, and tile. There is one gas fireplace and a two car attached garage, finished and painted shortly before the sale.

The back patio is the property’s best argument: large, and pointed at an expansive view of the mountains. The front yard is xeriscaped and low maintenance.

The neighborhood

Aldea de Santa Fe is a planned village off NM 599, northwest of town, built at a density that produces actual streets and a center rather than a subdivision of cul-de-sacs. The association maintains thirteen miles of trails, a clubhouse, a fitness center, tennis courts, and basketball courts, funded by a quarterly fee.

Our first time Santa Fe buyer guide covers this end of the market, our guide to the best Santa Fe neighborhoods for second homes covers the choice between planned communities and town, and the Santa Fe market archive collects our work across the city.

The schools are Gonzales Elementary, Gonzales Middle, and Santa Fe High. Our Select Solds are a record of the sales we have closed across Santa Fe.

About the transaction

We represented the seller at 82 Avenida Frijoles. This one took its time, a little over four months, and it is worth being plain about why: a three bedroom townhome fifteen minutes out is a value proposition rather than a scarcity one, and value propositions are shopped and compared rather than seized. The right answer is patience and an honest price, not a series of nervous reductions.
