Lovely 2 bedroom 2 bath adobe home with mud plaster in the charming and historic village of El Rito, settled in 1807 along the creek that inspired its name. Home to many artists, it has its own studio tour in October. This home is just as charming as the village in which it resides. It was originally a Methodist church but has been remodeled. The sanctuary is a large living room with high ceiling and vigas, and latillas in a herringbone pattern. Adobe interior walls and wooden doors give the house a warm feeling. Updated kitchen and large dining area are open to each other and open onto a portal on the side of the house. The kitchen has an induction range with a convection oven and an island for extra prep space and seating. Hardwood and tile floors, wood-burning fireplace in the dining room, views of the Jemez Mountains. Heating is mini-split with ac/heat and radiant in the bathrooms and back bedroom. The property is fenced and has apricot and apple trees. Opens on the back to fields.
