Taos Mountain isn't simply a view from 2 La Isla Court. It's part of the house. Framed through windows and visible from the living spaces, primary bedroom and light-filled third bedroom currently used as an artist's studio, the mountain changes with the light throughout the day. Set on .253 acre, this approximately 1,550-square-foot, 3-bedroom, 2-bath home combines traditional Southwestern architecture with a clean, contemporary sensibility. Hand-plastered walls, 13 foot high ceilings with substantial vigas and tongue-and-groove in the living dining area, large porcelain tile floors and a gas-log kiva fireplace give the home its unmistakable Taos character, while radiant in-floor heat, natural gas and on-demand hot water add everyday comfort. The kitchen is equally considered, with maple cabinetry, KitchenAid appliances and a generous Taj Mahal quartzite island with breakfast seating. Living spaces open naturally to a large covered portal, with direct outdoor access from the living area, primary bedroom and studio/third bedroom. Outside, established native and low-water plantings, hollyhocks and private front and rear spaces create a quiet connection to the landscape. A two-car garage and abundant interior storage add practicality to a home that feels remarkably private while remaining convenient to Taos. A manageable footprint, thoughtful finishes and an extraordinary relationship with Taos Mountain make 2 La Isla Court a distinctive place to call home.
