The renovated home has incredible 360 views and large rooms throughout. A soaring entry opens to a formal living room, a Great Room, formal dining and kitchen plus a Butlers prep area. All 5 BR are ensuite and downstairs ones open onto the wrap around huge deck. Interior details are beautiful and must be seen to be appreciated. Garden areas are lovely and the 2 Acre lot is surrounded by mature native Pinon Pine and Juniper trees which do not obscure views. There are 2 garages and a 4 car carport. Los Alamos County Schools are some of the best in the US. and with little crime in the county, its great for families or retirees. White Rock has a large library and a grocery plus restaurants and other businesses. Theres also a visitor center for Bandelier National Monument.nnIn 1992 the present owner and her husband, an award winning contractor/builder, purchased the property and began major renovations and additions. The transformation of the original 1800 sq ft cedar sided house built in 1978 into a 6,000 sq ft stuccoed, red concrete tiled roof, formal home took several years. The dramatic multi-story entry was the inspiration for the rest of the house and the huge wrought iron chandelier came from a demolished mansion in Hollywood. The interior detailing is exquisite and shows extraordinary craftsmanship. The fireplace design was inspired by one in the artist Fechin's Taos home. For 6 years, the owners operated Castillo del Alba, a 3 BR B&B and hosted guests from all over the world. Guests included Nandor Balaz Einstein's last associate at Princeton. Designed to be welcoming for other activities, the sunken formal living room with a raised platform was used by the Santa Fe Opera Apprentices performances and other musical or speaking events. The 3 compartments in the walk out basement include a wine cellar and built in shelving. There is a bedroom designed so its location offers privacy and can be used for Nanny or Caretaker quarters. Above all other aspects, it is a comfortable and beautiful home in a superb location in the White Rock suburb of Los Alamos, NM.
