Built in 1975, this lovely home has been lovingly maintained and updated and expanded over the years. Walking down past a giant wisteria, you pass beds of roses and native perennials and then you enter through those dramatic unforgettable front doors with the intaglio images of a dancer over the classic Zia sun.
