Monday Morning Millionaire: Make Your Primary Home a Vaca Pad — Santa Fe, Ole

It’s June, and we are knee-deep in summer vacation. Why not retain that summer home feeling YEAR ROUND with a home that looks like a vacation home? That way you get a little vaca every day!

I often joke that Santa Fe is a bedroom community of Dallas. Well, it is. American has non-stop flights right in to Santa Fe, and Southwest is like a train to Albuquerque. I know about ten people with homes in Santa Fe, and rather than mooch a stay, I am eyeing El Corazon de Santa Fe for a Fairmont Fractional that you can change in about eight different locations. So what I’m saying, is if you have a passion for Santa Fe, why not just LIVE Santa Fe with this home at 4516 Livingston?

Santa Fe feel with a perfect Highland Park address — walk to Bradford Elementary, Fairfax Park and even the Plaza —oops, I mean Highland Park Village. Of course, come August, you might not want to walk anywhere. Just sit down with a margarita. The home has a deep, welcoming front porch, antique longleaf pine doors, and great traffic flow with an open kitchen and formals.

Upstairs, a lovely master retreat with soaking tub and shower, and three more bedrooms including a large suite on the the third floor with private bath. Also a nice-sized laundry room/crafts nook on the second floor, and a study nook on the first. This home jam-packs in 4 bedrooms, three full and two half baths, yet is only 3351 square feet. You will love the saltillo tiles in the bookshelf-rich family room overlooking the green back yard. Also, great quarters of 565 square feet with full kitchen above the two car garage.

Built in 1990, this home gives you everything you need to raise a family in highly efficient square footage. Asking only $1,329,500. That price will help you save big bucks on ridiculous electric and utility bills so you really can get away to Santa Fe… when the spirit moves you!
