The Little White Church on Quesnel A historic home with spectacular views one block from Taos Plaza Once a modest adobe church, now a soulful architectural gem—this historic Taos residence is a rare blend of artistic heritage, thoughtful restoration, and New Mexican charm. Located on quiet Quesnel Lane and adjacent to the Couse-Sharp Historic Site, the property offers a peaceful retreat in the heart of town with roots in Taos’ creative and cultural legacy. The building itself dates back to the 1880s and was the Spanish Methodist church before being thoughtfully adapted into a private residence in the 1970s. Ask your Realtor for the “Church on Quesnel” history document, available in associated documents, to learn more about the home’s cultural lineage and transformation. The surrounding area is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is part of a federally recognized Historic District, helping preserve the integrity and architectural fabric of this remarkable neighborhood. The light-filled entry/sunroom welcomes you with Saltillo tile, exposed vigas, and wraparound windows framing mountain views across the Couse meadow to the Truchas peaks. The former sanctuary now serves as an expansive open-concept living space with towering Gothic windows, multiple seating areas, a kiva fireplace, a wood-burning stove, and a warm plaster finish that invites comfort and conversation. The kitchen is a charming blend of style and function with gas range, custom cabinetry, open shelving, and a central island. Through an arched opening, a hallway leads to the first of three and a half bathrooms, featuring Talavera tile accents, built-in storage, and an art-glass window. Beyond this, the enclosed greenhouse breezeway—lined with windows and showcasing a red brick floor, herringbone latilla and viga ceilings, and hand-carved posts—guides you to four bedrooms, two with French doors, vaulted ceilings, creative loft nooks, and rustic textures that balance charm with comfort. At the end of the breezeway, the third bedroom (or media room, office, or art studio) offers versatility with built-in bookshelves, a large walk-in closet, and a private ¾ bath. The primary suite lies beyond a final arched doorway, offering Saltillo floors, a custom wood sunburst ceiling, and a sliding window wall that opens to the courtyard and an expansive view of the Truchas peaks, blurring indoor and outdoor living. The en-suite ¾ bath includes a walk-in shower and colorful tile details, and a spacious walk-in closet offers ample storage. The private courtyard is a highlight of the property, with a red brick patio and walkways, a grassy lawn, garden beds, mature trees, and a secluded hot tub with a view of the moonrise and distant mountains. Multiple outdoor seating areas enjoy sun or shade at any time of day. A side yard with lush greenery offers another peaceful outdoor space with its own door to the main living area. This property features classic adobe construction, single-level living, preservation of original historic elements, and an unbeatable location just one block from the Taos Plaza and surrounded by key landmarks. A truly one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a piece of Taos history—artful, inviting, and deeply rooted in place. This is the first time the house has been on the market in 49 years.
