Open House, Hidden Space

The front of a house in Santa Fe, New Mexico

On Sunday I saw a sign advertising an Open House by Sotheby’s. On a whim, I followed the signs to a twisty, narrow part of East Santa Fe, an old and respectable part of Santa Fe. In fact it was one street over from Canyon Road. I knew it would be expensive. On the way I passed an acequia so I knew it would be even more pricey. When I got to the house, it was pleasant but unremarkable from the road, so I knew it was definitely top dollar. Also there was a guest house.
