2,432 SF : 3BR : 2 Bath ; 1 BR: 1 Bath Income generating Casita
This classic adobe home was built in 1942 but has the character of a 1920's build with a classic layout and thick adobe walls. It is centrally located with a beautiful view down Russell Avenue from the front porch. The main home has three bedrooms and two bathrooms with an expansive sunroom that gives lots of options for either an art studio, home office or an area for guests or in-laws to have privacy from the main house (including a butler's/artist's sink and shelving, perfect for art supplies or a coffee/tea station).
The home has high ceilings, large rooms and refinished hardwood floors throughout with newly-installed flooring in the sunroom. Clad in cement stone likely applied in the late 40's or 50's along with many adobe homes in the area. It serves as a great insulator and protector of the adobe bricks. The new roof was just fitted with energy-saving solar panels, capping the electrical bills at $185 per month for the next 20 years. The main house has central heating/air conditioning and a whole house Aquasana water filtration system, a real plus in Marfa!
The large living room has high ceilings, a gas fireplace and a tall picture window looking out onto the front porch. A separate but open dining area adjoins the living room and includes charming built-in cabinetry. The sunroom is just off the dining room looking out onto the backyard – a later addition – and offers flexibility of layout: close off for a separate artists studio or in-law/guest space or leave open for a more traditional plan.
The kitchen is a galley kitchen and has lots of pantry space and cabinets with a gas range. The master bedroom and center bedroom are connected through a Jack and Jill bathroom with tub, large linen closet and original, stunning blue penny tile flooring. There is a wood burning fireplace in the master bedroom as well for those cold, windy Marfa nights.
The casita, built in late 2023, has one bedroom, one bathroom and a galley kitchen and is entered through the east side carport. There is privacy fencing and a new gravel path leading to the front door of the casita. The living room French doors open to a newly-built and private stone patio. This is an income-generating short term rental, financials available upon request.
Two deep carports flank the east and west side of the house with an additional storage room added to the west carport.
This is a great old classic Marfa adobe house with lovely proportions and lots of room. Located at the very northern end of Russell Street on Columbia, it is an easy walk into town but is in a quiet residential neighborhood.
