Description
This one-of-a-kind adobe house has a fascinating history. It was built as a "bounty house" after the Civil War: soldiers could have a piece of land for free if they built a certain minimum size house on it. The bounty house is the living room of this house - a large room with wood floor and high ceiling made of vigas and latillas. With a red enamel gas stove at the far end, a built-in bookcase near the front door, and Mexican light fixtures, it is a charming entry to the house. The rest of the house was built onto this structure later and includes a bathroom with walk-in tub, a laundry area, and a large homey kitchen downstairs. The kitchen has a large 5-burner gas stove and large matching refrigerator and freezer. A spiral staircase leads upstairs to the bedroom, which has bathroom facilities in it (sink, toilet, and claw-foot tub), and a walk-in closet. The lot is 0.29 acres, green and lush and graced with large old trees. There is a large storage shed with slab floor and a couple of patios off the house. The whole property is walled or fenced, and there is an electric gate. Truly a special property.
