218 Ribak Ln Taos, NM 87571

Looking for that quintessential adobe house in the historic district of Taos; then look no further. Tucked away in a peaceful setting near La Loma Plaza, this 2160 sqft home has it all. The entry is a unique sunroom with great southern exposure and Saltillo tiles. The kitchen has been updated with beautiful cherrywood cabinets, concrete countertops and stained concrete floor along with new appliances and a wood-burning stove. A large fireplace keeps the living room warm and cozy. And the master bedroom is well-lit with 2 skylights, a large banco and a kiva fireplace. The master bath is adorned with a beautiful clawfoot tub. A fun spiral staircase leads to a sunny 2nd story lookout room perfect for yoga or quiet contemplation. Nichos abound throughout along with vigas and beamed ceilings. A 450 sqft finished basement contains a 3rd bedroom, although this space is not counted into the home’s square footage. Outside there are 2 patios; one covered that looks out on the pond with 2 pear trees between. The pond has a bridge in the middle and complements the sanctuary-like backyard. The other patio is enclosed in a courtyard which is perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining. Newly installed drip irrigation helps maintain both mature trees and a variety of juniper and barberry bushes. A new roof and new El Rey stucco on both the main house and the casita. Several new Sierra Pacific windows. And don’t forget the casita. Complete with a queen Murphy bed, new kitchenette, skylights and a full bath with shower. All of this within walking distance to Taos plaza. A great value for anyone looking for a hidden gem right in town.
