This 1938 home with a detached guest house is located in a desirable northwest Marfa neighborhood called the Kerr Addition. The property is located on a fenced corner lot on a freshly re-paved street, which provides separate entrances for the home and the duplex casita. The R-1 zoning allows for all three units to be rented separately, short term (<30 days), or one may be a long-term occupant with the other two rented short term.
The main home is a one-bedroom, one bath, freestanding, 708 square foot structure which has been renovated. Starting in 2015, updates or replacements were made to the metal roof, bath, kitchen appliances, wiring, and plumbing. Original wood floors, millwork. Wood windows and kitchen cabinetry carry the craftsman charm throughout the home.
The Casita entrance is on North Gonzales. Each unit is approximately 300 square feet and contains a kitchen and a full bath. This structure was also built in 1938 and retains many original details. The west unit has a walled courtyard, concrete floors, a vintage metal kitchen cabinet, and an updated bath with a closet. The east side unit has a spacious kitchen, full bath, and original hardwood floors. There is a spacious laundry room between the units with a code lock and a separate entrance.
A low-maintenance yard surrounds the property, complete with shade trees on the west side, a bocce court at the southeast corner, and a storage shed. The large paved driveway can accommodate up to 4 vehicles and provides convenient access to each door. Catty-corner to the home is the beloved, lushly landscaped Lannan Park, which is open to the public and now maintained by the City of Marfa.
