803 DON CUBERO

The owner lived in this charming adobe bungalow in South Capitol's Don Gaspar Historic District for over 11 years. Inside are a living room, two bedrooms, a kitchen (complete with a milk chute!), two bathrooms, a kiva fireplace and a Jotul woodstove. The well-placed windows and doors provide adequate ventilation in the summer; air conditioning is not necessary. Underfoot are the original red oak floors; overhead are Art Deco light fixtures. The small basement has room for a washer and storage. The entire heating system and stucco is new from 2007. A radon exhaust fan installed in 2007 and re-tiled bathrooms as well. The roof dates from 2010; its transferable warranty expires in 2022. The front yard has plum trees and a vegetable garden that produces plentiful tomatoes, pumpkins, basil and corn. Forsythia, lilacs and crab apple bloom outside the living room window. The front porch, some say, is the best room in the house. On soft summer nights it is difficult to disagree.The private back yard has a hot tub made with Alaskan cedar, a deck, a mature beech tree and a rock garden. You can enter the one car garage from the back yard or the shared driveway. The location cannot be beat--under a mile to Trader Joe's and the plaza and under half a mile to Whole Foods and the railyard.
