Step into the soul of Marfa with this lovingly preserved 1942 adobe home that oozes character and charm. Blending the architectural elegance of the 1920s with practical modern updates, this artist-friendly compound is the perfect canvas for your next chapter.

Main House: Timeless Style Meets Creative Flow
With thick adobe walls, refinished hardwood floors, and beautifully high ceilings, the 3-bedroom, 2-bath main home offers an abundance of natural light, warmth, and space. The expansive sunroom—featuring brand-new flooring, a butler’s/artist’s sink, and built-in shelving—is ideal as an art studio, a writer’s retreat, or private guest/in-law suite with its own vibe and versatility.

The living room, anchored by a gas fireplace and tall picture window, flows seamlessly into a charming dining area with built-in cabinetry. The galley kitchen is outfitted with generous pantry space and a gas range, perfect for home cooks and entertainers alike. Original details like blue penny tile in the Jack-and-Jill bath and a wood-burning fireplace in the primary bedroom add soul and story.

Sustainable Comforts
A brand-new roof equipped with solar panels keeps electric bills capped at just $185/month for the next 20 years. Central heating/AC and a whole-house Aquasana water filtration system make life in the desert feel luxurious.

The Casita: Your Creative Side Hustle or Short-Term Rental
Completed in late 2023, the detached 1BR/1BA casita includes a galley kitchen, French doors that open to a private stone patio, and a separate entrance via a gravel path for privacy. Perfect as a short-term rental, artist residency, or home office with income—financials available upon request.

Exterior & Location Perks
Two deep carports (with added storage), privacy fencing, and a quiet corner lot at the northern end of Russell Street make this a truly unique Marfa find. From the classic stone cladding (likely added mid-century) to the generous layout and serene views, this property is rich in history and ready for what’s next.

Walkable. Quiet. Inspiring.
Tucked into a peaceful neighborhood but still walkable to the heart of town, this is the Marfa dream: A creative sanctuary with room to live, make, and host.
