Located on beautiful Fort Clark, a retired U.S. Military fort in operation for almost 100 years, from 1852 to shortly after WWII & listed on the Natl. Registry of Historic Places. This carefully restored 1870 former barracks & music hall offers the perfect mix of 155 yr old solid craftsmanship reconfigured to accommodate modern, free flowing living both inside and out.   Enjoy the evening sunsets & hear the flag flapping from your  breezy enclosed front porch looking out to the historic parade grounds.  Stepping into the Saltillo tiled great room, you're met with vaulted ceilings, patinad wood beams, & stucco walls with the added architectural detail antique shuttered panels acquired from the library at Fort Sam Houston. An open concept kitchen/living area with an amazing rock fireplace with a story to tell. Made from Pecos River stones the cavalry soldiers carried back in their saddle bags, history reads that the infantry men held contests for the most rocks or most unusual rocks. (as seen in photos the hollering man stone likely was prize worthy.) Downstairs there is a roomy bedroom and walk in closet and a charming bathroom doubling as a convenient laundry room. Upstairs is a fantastic artists loft, which would also make a wonderful home office or extra bedroom. Adding to the square footage attached off the front porch is an additional complete living space, with kitchenette, bedroom and bath, it could be utilized as an airbnb apartment for extra income.
