2024 New Mexico Heritage Winner
LUISA'S HOUSE
LUISA'S HOUSE
A Roybal family aunt owned the original 2,500-square-foot adobe from the 1800s that Roybal Enterprises General Contractors transformed into its Parade of Homes entry. The historic home formerly served as an inn and stagecoach stop between Santa Fe and Colorado. Today Luisa’s House has undergone a complete renovation and expansion. The traditional New Mexico–style structure is now more than double the original size. Interior walls are finished in natural mud plaster throughout the three bedrooms and five bathrooms. Energy-efficient features include three fireplaces and radiant heating and cooling systems. The home also has a two-car garage with EV charging outlets. The adobe and Rastra construction showcases the home’s history and beauty. The original oak floors were re-purposed into the ceiling of the added primary bedroom suite, where The bathroom features a walk-in shower with double shower heads, double vanities, custom mirrors, travertine counters, and an oversized jetted tub. Hand-carved wooden doors; brick, wood, and tile floors; and a large kitchen with Thermador appliances, three sinks, an oversized refrigerator/freezer, and extensive travertine tile are among the high-end, sophisticated touches.
