PRIME LOCATION AND COMMUNITY FEATURES: The condominium, called Casa Grande is ideally located within the historic district of Taos, an area where short-term rentals are not permitted; however, long-term rental opportunities are available for residents. Its prime placement offers outstanding convenience and walkability as it is situated close to the plaza, Kit Carson Park, the dog park, and the library.

OPEN LIVING SPACES AND COURTYARDS: The main living area of the condominium is designed with an open-concept kitchen and living room. French doors in the living area open directly onto the east courtyard, which leads to the back condo area and serves as a shortcut to the plaza. A fireplace, crafted by renowned Taos artist Carmen Valvarde, serves as a striking centerpiece in this space. The kitchen is equipped with modern stainless steel appliances, including an electric range with an internal exhaust system. It overlooks the south courtyard, which provides passive heat in the winter to keep heating costs low and helps keep the unit cool during the summer. The south courtyard also features a flagstone patio and connects to the condo grounds, the front parking lot, and the pathway to the plaza. BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS: Both bedrooms in the unit feature custom-designed headboards created by a local artist and have their own individual thermostats for personalized comfort. The master bedroom has a sliding door that opens directly to the courtyard and includes a private bathroom with a shower. The guest bedroom contains a full-size washer and dryer neatly tucked away in a closet, and the guest bathroom is accessible from the main living area, providing convenience for both residents and guests. The entire unit is finished with tile flooring throughout. HEATING, GARAGE AND BUILDING DETAILS: Heating for the condo is provided by water baseboards, with the boiler and hot water holding tank located in the one-car garage beneath the unit. This setup ensures that the garage remains heated during the winter months. The garage is equipped with a smart door that can be controlled via an app. While the garage does not have direct access to the living space, stairs lead from the garage to the entryway, and once inside, all living areas are situated on a single level for ease of access. The building itself consists of six units, was re-stuccoed in 2018, and had its roof and stairs replaced in 2021, with both improvements currently under warranty.
