CASA TRUSCO, nestled in the La Loma Plaza Historic District of Taos is a true hidden gem. The bohemian spirits of prior owners appear throughout the home, particularly in the colorful entryway and kitchen. The oldest rooms of Casa Trusco were built in 1872 by Antonio Puro, as evidenced by a signed beam in the living room. Built around a courtyard shaded by a 100- year-old apricot tree, the original "L" portal has been transformed into a light-filled breezeway accessing the sunken guest room, complete with its own bath. At the end of the breezeway is a newer, spacious, primary bedroom, bathroom, and a sweet sunroom. Double doors lead to flower beds full of irises. Original, thick adobe walls, deep windowsills, and low doors have been lovingly preserved. The wide-plank, wood floors and high viga ceilings prevail throughout. Outside, custom gates lead to secret garden areas. The one-car garage is partly finished with a bathroom, laundry area, deep utility sink and access to the back yard. Art studio, perhaps? Casa Trusco in the La Loma Plaza Historic District – which is listed on the National Register of Historical Places – is an unspoiled and authentic example of "True Old Taos" at its best.
