The Nicho House: Ultra-Modern Adobe - Near Plaza

A Living Museum Originally a 1940s corner store, this authentic adobe has been reimagined as "The Nicho House." In a complete architectural remodel, we removed load-bearing walls to create a breathtaking open-concept flow that preserves the home's historic soul while embracing ultra-contemporary luxury. The Signature Nichos True to its name, the home features over 50 custom-built niches - the signature recessed shelves of the Southwest. Traditionally used for santos and candles, we’ve reimagined them as a sleek, modern gallery. - Museum-Grade Lighting: Each nicho is equipped with professional low-voltage lighting, casting a warm, curated glow over the art and architecture throughout the night. Every wall serves as a curated display for art, books, and cultural treasures. Curated Bedroom Galleries Each of the 4 bedrooms is designed as a private sanctuary with a distinct cultural theme: - The African Suite: Striking sculptures & King Bed. - The American Craft Suite: Historic ceramic pottery & Queen Bed. - The Bali Suite: Intricate hand-carved masks and sculptures & Queen Bed. - The Global Guardian Suite: A stunning collection of masks from around the world, curated to represent the ancient tradition of protection and keeping a peaceful home. Includes a King Bed. Modern Architecture & Design Great Room: Expansive living area with gleaming white polished cement floors and a traditional kiva fireplace. Gourmet Chef’s Kitchen The heart of the home is a designer kitchen built for gathering. - The Centerpiece: A massive 9-foot kitchen island crafted from dramatic Italian granite - perfect for morning coffee, wine tastings, or serving as a communal creative workspace. - The Details: Elegant French white oak cabinetry and a professional LG & KitchenAid suite, including a sleek glass-top electric range. - The Flow: The kitchen opens directly into the expansive living area, keeping the chef part of the conversation. Spa Bathrooms: Italian micro-cement finishes and granite sink boxes; the master suite includes an oversized soaking tub. Outdoor Oasis & Rare Amenities The large, private backyard is a rare find in the heart of the city, designed for both relaxation and play: - Hot Tub: Soak under the New Mexico stars. - Firepit: Gather for cozy evenings and conversation. - Lawn Games: Professional-grade cornhole set for outdoor fun. - Parking: Two private, gated off-street parking spaces - an absolute premium in Santa Fe.
