Alameda – Hess Terrace · Las Cruces, New Mexico
A 1937 adobe on .3 acre, renovated inside: a new kitchen, all-new appliances, new floors, and new central air, close to downtown Las Cruces.
The adobe
A slice of history, made modern. 1040 Hess Terrace keeps its 1937 adobe character outside and is all-new inside.
Outside, you'll find thick white walls, a red-tile portal, and a wrought-iron gate into the front courtyard. Inside, new wide-plank floors run from room to room. The renovated kitchen opens to the dining room around a long island that seats four. It has double wall ovens, a farmhouse sink, and a picture window looking out on the city park across the street.
The living room has a fireplace wall, and a separate family room gives you a second place to gather. There are four bedrooms and 2.75 baths, including a primary suite with its own door out to the carport and a second bedroom with its own en-suite bath. New refrigerated central air, a new tankless water heater, and double-pane Low-E windows are already in. A carport links the home to the detached garage, with driveways off both Hess Terrace and Reymond, RV access, and a shaded rock-walled patio, all on .3 acre minutes from downtown.

The layout

The setting
An established neighborhood of older homes and mature shade trees, close to downtown Las Cruces, with the Organ Mountains on the eastern horizon. The home sits across the street from a city park, so the front rooms and kitchen window look out on grass and trees instead of rooftops, and downtown dining and culture are minutes away.
