About this property

CASA CARMEN | San Miguel and Marfa vibes in Kerrville

This historic Spanish Bungalow features a freshly reappointed interior and exterior. Fully restored, the home was originally built in the 1920s, and boasts authentic charm with traditional white stucco exterior, clay tile roof, cantera stone and wood floors, plaster walls, french doors and windows, and custom lighting (almost all on dimmers).

Mexican talavera tile direct from San Miguel de Allende adorn the entire exterior from the terra-cotta walkway to the front door entry. Curb appeal is through the roof with a professional landscape design complete with lighting (on timers). The house is wrapped in patios, from the side courtyard to the lush backyard. There are mature shade trees, nine redbuds that bloom with vibrant color in spring, and a miniature agave garden in back. There is an abundance of outdoor furniture for dining al fresco and lounging. The side courtyard is floored in cantera stone and offers a cozy spot to observe passers by and enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. There is a gas grill available for guests.

The owners have furnished the home with pieces from their own collection of antiques and vintage finds from several parts of the hill country and boasts original art. A cool-mix of mid-century classic, Spanish Art Deco with the texture of artisans from Mexico… you won't find anything quite like it. The main living and dining areas are large enough to host gatherings with it's open-concept design and access to the side courtyard. You'll find a comfy sectional to sink into or a swanky glass and brass dining table to enjoy a meal. The well-appointed kitchen is fully equipped with refrigerator, freezer (w/ ice maker), stove and other various small appliances, not to mention a separate coffee bar.

The master bedroom (king-sized bed) is oversized with plenty of room for extra furniture pieces, sitting area, and office/study area. Equipped with flat-screen hi-def television with access to a cable, HBO and Showtime. It's all in the details with high-quality linens, bedding, wooden hangers, provided paper and handmade pencils. The adjoining full bathroom is very unique featuring a custom Mexican Art Deco design mixing glass block, cantera stone and travertine materials. A true walk-in shower that will fit two. A Stackable washer/dryer unit is hidden behind louvered doors for your convenience. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, plush white towels, hair dryer, iron, ironing board - it's all there for your benefit.

The second bedroom/den features a 42" flat-screen hi-def television with access to a dvd player, cable, HBO and Showtime. There is a glass shelved bar with everything you'll need to mix your favorite beverage. This space can be enjoyed as a second living area or easily closed off and converted into the second bedroom with the use of the sleeper sofa with memory foam mattress (this room also has it's own closet as well), guests can have their own bathroom and make use of the cream and blue talavera tiled full bathroom with walk-in shower and hand-pressed tin light fixture.

Why they chose this property

This is such a special property... everyone knows and admires this house. It has a rich history from it's inception in the early 1920's and was once owned by entrepreneur, James H. Avery, founder of James Avery Craftsman. We were very excited to acquire it this year (2016) and decided it was far too special to keep it all to ourselves... we had to share it with others. Our family and friends have enjoyed this property over the years (when it was owned by my dear friend, Paco Espinoza (owner of Francisco's restaurant) for almost thirty years! We hope that you will fall in love with it just as we have... the name is Casa Carmen in honor of Paco's mother, Carmen Avery. She was an incredible woman, and once the lady of San Miguel de Allende in Mexico. We had the honor of being friends with her and considered her an extension of our own family - I hope she would be proud.

What makes this property unique

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. You are centrally located in the heart of Kerrville with quick access to restaurants, bars, shopping and everything the hill country is about; jaw-dropping gorgeous rivers, parks and nature! You'll have the comfort of your own home equipped with everything you need. This place oozes style and is an absolute delight to spend time in.
