This classic adobe, atop a bluff by the historic La Loma Plaza, combines rich history with modern living. Experience old Taos when you step into this traditionally preserved adobe built in the late 1800s, originally the residence of writer and artist, Blanche Chloe Grant, who moved to Taos in 1920. Key figures in the Taos Moderns art movement, Louis Ribak and Beatrice Mandelman purchased the property from Blanche in the 1940s. They ran the Taos Valley Art School out of what is now the spacious living room with high ceilings and a dramatic kiva fireplace. Located in the downtown Taos historic district, this well preserved and exquisite home underwent a complete restoration in 2006, preserving its rich character while infusing it with a touch of whimsy and modern functionality. Custom iron gates crafted by Jeff Rzepecki of Taos, welcome you into the walled, beautifully landscaped courtyard. Pathways surround the home leading to other outdoor spaces with dramatic stonework. Inside, you’ll find classic viga and latilla ceilings, artistic nichos, four kiva fireplaces, natural plastered walls, and a mix of rare reclaimed hardwood, flagstone and Saltillo tile floors. Architectural details, quality finishes and appointments throughout exude elegance, efficiency and comfort. The kitchen features custom tile work and a Viking range/oven. Enter into a cozy parlor with fireplace and adjoining dining area, perfect for casual entertaining. A bedroom suite with fireplace on the main level connects to another large open living space with kitchen and fireplace, ideal for guests, an artist studio or a place to retreat. The second floor suite opens onto a covered porch and Juliet balcony overlooking the back stone-terraced amphitheater courtyard. The ensuite bath is an artistic masterpiece of tile work, floor to ceiling. An antique Bradley and Hubbard light fixture in the dining room and a New Mexican painted tin chandelier on the stair landing are from the sellers collection. Set on a .45 acre lot, the property is landscaped with a variety of trees including spruce and pine, and fruit trees such as apricot, pear, apple and peach. The home is a perfect blend of Taos rich history and modern convenience. A property unique as this one rarely comes to the market!
