Angel Fire Parade of Homes: Sutton Construction wins top award

With its ?flawless? craftsmanship and expansive covered deck, an Angel Fire home built by John R. Sutton General Building Contractor earned the Sangre de Cristo Homebuilders Association?s Grand Hacienda award for 2013.?

?After three or four years, now I can always tell a John Sutton house because the fit and finish is pretty much flawless,? said contest judge Kim Shanahan, executive officer of the Santa Fe Area Home Builders Association. ?...John buys a lot of stuff, but when he puts it together it really is flawless.?

Located at 24 Cochiti Circle, the Grand Hacienda was voted the best of the eight houses on the local association?s 2013 Parade of Homes Saturday and Sunday (Aug. 31 and Sept. 1) in Angel Fire. During the Parade of Homes awards banquet Aug. 29 at Zebs Restaurant and Bar, Shanahan announced that the Grand Hacienda also won awards for best craftsmanship and best exterior on a home worth more than $500,000.

?When you drive up to it, it?s just a simple-looking single-story home. But if you go around to the backside ... you will see how stunning that home is,? Shanahan said. ?It could have got the award for the most surprising exterior, too.?

The home features two bedrooms, three bathrooms, 1,726 square feet of space in the main living area, 817 square feet of space in the basement, an 857 square-foot garage, and 1,114 square feet of decking on the backside. It has StarMark cabinets, KitchenAid appliances, Integrity Wood-Ultrex windows, Kohler fixtures, aspen tongue-and-groove ceilings, a stacked-stone fireplace, custom tile bathrooms and showers, and a stucco exterior.

?The style is so different up here,? Shanahan said. ?And it?s always just so refreshing to come and see something a little bit different than what we do down in Santa Fe.?
