This c. 1920 authentic pueblo revival home in the Willo historic district is gonna give you the feels, so brace yourself for a whirlwind romance. You’ll be smitten with the curb appeal: arcaded drive, flagstone courytard & Moorish arch window. You’re gonna want to feel every inch of this place. If your heart is beating a little faster, then you just saw the barreled ceilings, arched alcoves, original fireplace & oak hardwood floors-don’t stop there! The walls are so hard…because they are adobe. If your temperature is rising, you’ve likely made it to the kitchen where the soaring ceilings, clerestory window, custom cabinets, granite slab counters & copper-hued hood are going to help you spice things up. You may not even make it to the bedrooms, let’s be real. You should though, so you can marvel at the barreled ceiling down the hall and sit in the original, hidden in-wall phone bench. Pretty sure you’re gonna wanna go downtown…I mean to the finished basement. Could it be your future wine cellar and/or bomb shelter? Your friends will think you bought a resort because you could charge money to experience the next level landscape designed by architect, Luis Salazar. Be sure to throw a penny in the backyard fountain & make a wish that this will be your new home! You will now call parties ‘soirees’ because it is only appropriate here. People may start making reservations, thinking they are arriving at El Chorro. You may want to start pleading for their secret sticky bun recipe. Captivating ambiance will help you get in the mood with the enchanting prosecco patio, built-in BBQ, beehive fireplace and adobe bench seating with viga latillas for shade. Take a plunge into the in-ground hot tub to soothe your soul. Repurpose the 150 sq ft block accessory structure into something special-sauna, office, studio, etc. If homegrown veggies are your thing, don’t miss the potting area. If you can’t overcome the biological reaction to this dreamboat, you’re not alone. The word “charming” doesn’t even begin to describe this gem. Historic tax incentive pending-Owner occupants will enjoy a 50% property tax savings in the 2024 tax year. The level of architectural refinement makes this an absolute study in historic preservation; it’s truly aspirational.
