14 Placita De Anza

Calling all artists and others who appreciate superb design. Welcome to 14 Placita de Anza, the perfect live-work opportunity. This tastefully designed home provides the ultimate live/work opportunity. Originally conceived as a working studio and gallery, 14 Placita de Anza has seen 44 years of exhibitions, workshops, and retreats. Location is everything and this one won't disappoint. Situated on one acre with a separate guesthouse/studio in the rear, the home is located at the end of a private cul-de-sac. Located in the heart of old Tubac, the Tubac Historical Society, the Tubac Center for the Arts, the Presidio Park, and several buildings recorded on the National Historic Registry surround this gem. Shops, galleries and restaurants are only steps away. This home takes curb appeal to the next level. Tall white-washed walls and custom ocotillo-wood doors set this property apart from any other in town. Walk into a beautifully-designed courtyard that runs the width of the building and you are sure to be impressed. It has served as the backdrop for many photo shoots and provides a private outside setting designed for alone time, relaxing with a few friends, or hosting large gatherings. The courtyard provides two entrances into a commanding great room, 34' long x 18' wide. Large expanses of wall space accommodate an abundance of artwork. Tall beamed ceiling add phenomenal volume to the space. Abundant track lighting offers tremendous flexibility in terms of how space is illuminated. A beehive fireplace, located at one end of the room, provides a cozy place to gather during chilly winter evenings. The other end of the room, located adjacent to the kitchen, provides a space perfect for an oversized dining room. The office, located beside the great room, boasts a built-in desk, plenty of storage area, and three-quarter walls that delightfully complement the contemporary look and feel of this brilliantly conceived space. The eat-in kitchen has both a breakfast bar as well as space for a table. A large pantry provides plenty of storage. Having its own exterior door, it is conveniently located to the rear parking area, making it easy to unload groceries. The home has two bedrooms and two baths.
