Dating back to the 1880s, this well-maintained, 1486 sq ft, 2bed/2bath, adobe that is a part of the perimeter wall of historic La Loma Plaza in Taos comes with ample outdoor space for you to enjoy our clean air and bright light: a courtyard to the south anchored by a venerable and prolific apricot tree and is supplemented on the east side with another cozier gathering spot together with a much larger walled courtyard on the northside shaded by a large elm. On the National Historic Register, this home has many of the southwest touches you seek: oak hardwood and saltillo tiled floors, vigas and skylights, sculpted plaster walls and a functioning kiva-style fireplace; for those of you chasing tales of intrigue, under the living room a trap door leads you to what is claimed to be the remains of the one of the tunnels that connected this house to the interior of the La Loma Plaza. Flanked to the west by the walls of the Capilla de San Antonio de Padua this is home that frankly oozes history. Many of the rooms are decorated with whimsical and cheery murals that underscore the artistic heritage of former owners; today it is furnished and used as a short term rental that has been a steady producer for 9 years and is now ready to be your home, pied a terre or live/work space. A large primary bedroom, a guest bedroom (without a closet) and a good sized kitchen are supplemented by a breakfast nook and a bonus room that could be an office or a place to host additional visitors. Last but not least there is a stand-alone garage for your toys, for storage, for your tools and for projects. And all of this is located walking distance to the museums, galleries, restaurants, music venues and watering holes that make Taos special. Sold furnished (except for select pieces of art and rugs) this is rare find that awaits its new owner.
