About 1 Opera House Road
This inviting Madrid townsite property blends historic character with modern updates, featuring an upgraded kitchen and a detached guest house complete with a full bath and kitchenette. It’s an ideal fit for a homeowner seeking rental income, a private studio, or a strong investment opportunity. Originally one of Madrid’s miner cabins, the main home has been lovingly restored and thoughtfully expanded to include two upstairs bedrooms. The living room and kitchen retain their original hardwood floors, complemented by a wood stove, gas range, granite countertops, and a passive-solar dining area with Saltillo tile. Newer metal ProPanel roof. The detached casita—an original stone-and-stucco structure—sits well behind the main house with its own private access and parking off Backroad. It is currently rented and equipped with separate sub-meters and a second water co-op hookup, offering immediate income potential. The main house includes a well-planned laundry room with added storage, while the guest house features its own stackable washer/dryer. Additional storage is available in the outbuilding and walk-in crawl space. A fenced yard provides shade and a secure space for pets. From the classic front porch, enjoy views of the vibrant historic village and the scenic Turquoise Trail. The location offers easy walkability to restaurants, galleries, and the general store, with Cerrillos State Park nearby and convenient access to both Santa Fe and Albuquerque
