3881 Old Santa Fe

Special properties are transformed by their special places. Located in the East side's Historic Review District, 3881 Old Santa Santa Fe Trail has its residential roots going back to 1947 when neighboring properties were few and the nearby southerly city boundary was rarely infringed upon. As one drives up the driveway to this historic residence, the story unfolds and one embraces the Gateway Foothills of Sun & Moon mountains, the saddle connecting the two, and the morning sunrise welcoming yet another beautiful Santa Fe day. Comprising a rectangular, landscaped two acre parcel, the improvements include a Main House (relatively untouched) as well as a fully renovated detached Casita with an upgraded salt water outdoor pool that brings signature grace and oasis sentiments to the entire setting. Simply stated, the grounds are magical, rare and showered in the daily sunlit beauty and quiet of the immediate mountains. Hiking trails are adjacent too! The Main House (approx 2753 sq ft) contains 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and it awaits tomorrow's new owner to engage in new renovation vision to complete this property's development promise. For those who enjoy historic accents, know that the interior walls include Pentile bricks, and that revered architect Bill Lumpkins is said to have designed additions to the Main House. It is quite possible that this residence has yet to fully reveal its history! Come and see this special, iconic place. There is NO other like it. Please know that this property has linkage to the rich and formidable legacy left by Gifford Phillips and his wife, Joann Kocher Phillips, who owned 3881 Old Santa Fe Trail from 1973-2007. A detailed storyline of their committed cultural endeavors throughout the United States is included in the associated documents for your review. Provenance indeed!
