Historic Adobe on Acequia

Taos, New Mexico

Welcome to this charming two-bedroom, one-bath adobe in one of the most historic communities in Taos. The major renovation, completed in 2006, features a new bath, kitchen, appliances, and infrastructure. Details such as Mexican tile and light fixtures complement the original vigas and two kiva fireplaces. Shaded in front by mature trees and portal overlooking an acequia, the property includes a large fenced-in backyard and storage unit.

Hand-crafted interior doors custom-built by a Taos master woodworker enhance the old-world charm. Renovations include new electric, phone, natural gas, community water lines, and septic—as well as roof and exterior stucco. Under-counter washer & dryer—and efficient gas heater from Tierra Wood Stoves provide function and convenience. High-speed internet is available to keep you in touch.

The Kitchen

A freshly stuccoed cove ceiling retains the traditional character of the kitchen, while additional cabinets and under-counter washer & dryer increase functionality.

The Living Room

The efficient gas-burning wood stove from Tierra Wood Stoves provides an ambient warmth to the living room and hall. Built-in bookshelves make good use of the home's 18-inch thick walls.

Hand-painted Mexican tiles accent the completely renovated bath, while the insulated tub assures relaxing time is not cut short.
