105 Cervantes

Description

Authentic Taos character, generous living space, and an exceptionally versatile floor plan come together at 105 Cervantes. Originally constructed circa 1929, this distinctive 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offers approximately 2,822 square feet on a 0.27-acre lot, blending the original classic adobe with a later frame-construction addition to create a home rich in warmth, history, and possibilities. The original adobe showcases many of the architectural details that make traditional Taos homes so appealing, including thick adobe walls, deep-set windows, exposed vigas and beams, coved viga ceilings, rounded plaster openings, custom wood doors, wood floors, handcrafted wood details, and decorative fireplaces. Traditional forms and finishes give the home an authentic sense of place and character that is difficult to replicate. The spacious kitchen and dining area continues the Southwestern aesthetic with wood cabinetry, tiled countertops, breakfast bar, exposed vigas, carved wood details, and a fireplace, with plenty of room for gathering and entertaining. Multiple living areas provide an abundance of usable space, while the expansive passive-solar sunroom is filled with natural light from abundant windows and skylights. With flagstone floors and room for plants, art, reading, a studio, or additional gathering space, the sunroom adds another distinctive and flexible dimension to the home. One of the property's greatest assets is its versatile floor plan and flexible living spaces. Four bedrooms, three baths, and multiple gathering areas provide options for bedrooms, offices, studios, guest accommodations, creative spaces, or shared and multigenerational living. The layout could also potentially be reconfigured into more independent living areas or restored to a duplex configuration. Plumbing for a former kitchen remains concealed within a rear bedroom closet, providing a starting point for a future kitchen area.

A manageable irrigated lawn provides a welcome patch of green, while flagstone patios and covered areas create multiple places for outdoor dining, entertaining, or relaxing in the shade.
