Magical! This one-of-a-kind, secluded and charming 1/3 acre compound comes with a beautifully restored 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath, 1518 sq ft real adobe home dating from the 1920s. Right next door is an 840 sq ft brick-floored, working-artist studio outfitted with a full bath that just needs the addition of a kitchen to make it a spacious and self-contained guesthouse. In addition to ample storage buildings, the property has a 142 sq ft jewelry studio that could also be a dark room. Flanked on each side of the home are secluded patios and alcoves perfect for alfresco dining, hosting garden parties or afternoon teas. Surrounded by pines, cedars, elms, locusts and fruit trees (pears & apricots), this compound with lush plantings is a riot of color and life right in the middle of town. In 2008 the main home was extensively remodeled to give it Marvin windows,, new electrical and plumbing and heating systems (including an efficient TriangleTube boiler), a shower clad with travertine tile, sinks in stone and alabaster and modern lighting. The centerpiece of the renovation is of course the gleaming cook's kitchen with quartz counters and modern appliances that include a Bosch induction stove, a Bosch dish washer, a large french door bottom freezer fridge and a stainless farmhouse style sink. Guided by the refined eye of an artist, the remodel included adding antiques both inside and out, and many have a story and a history all their own: the turquoise vanity in the main bath is from the Tibetan-Chinese border area and dates to the 1800s. The storage shed out back is electrified and has an extra fridge; just outside is an horno and on the north wall are well-protected raised garden beds with rich soil awaiting your plantings for a kitchen garden. During the remodel, the studio was extended, insulation was added to the roof and the bath was added. While this property is on Town of Taos sewer and water, it also has its own well to keep your garden thriving even in dry years. Here is a rarity - in town, renovated, with charm and character, gardens, seclusion, this it is the perfect home for outdoor living in Taos - in a word - Magical!
