By Eric Prokesh / September 22, 2023 /

I have to confess that the Santa Fe reference provoked the slightest unease about this house. I’m old enough to remember a national craze in the 1980s for “Santa Fe style” which morphed into a commercial package that included a color palette of sweet teal, pepto pink, and terra cotta and a surfeit of Francisco…
