We don\u2019t say this lightly, but Frida Kahlo might take a shine to a 1925 bungalow recently listed for sale in Monte Vista. <\/p>\n

Listed for $825,000, the quirky and charming home seems perfectly suited for an artist who lives by their own rules.<\/p>\n

Kahlo \u2014 the genius behind \u201cMy Dress Hangs Here\u201d and other iconic works \u2014 created a haven in her Casa Azul, located in the historic Coyoac\u00e1n\u00a0district of Mexico City. The home, now the Frida Kahlo Museum, reflected her rich inner world: dynamic, earthy and vibrant.<\/p>\n

Whether intentional or not, the seller of this three-bedroom, two-bath property created something akin to their own version of Casa Azul right here in San Antonio.<\/p>\n

Rich in Old World charm, the home\u2019s exterior showcases thick stucco walls, a classic red Spanish tile\u00a0roof and original tile accents that celebrate its historic heritage.<\/p>\n

Inside, warm hardwood floors, exposed wood beams, custom millwork and abundant natural light create an environment that is charming and more than a little funky.<\/p>\n

But for just the right person, interior walls that look like a green, frosted cake embellished with a giant crucifix are ideal.<\/p>\n

Artistic touches \u2014 and more crucifixes \u2014\u00a0continue throughout the home, which pops with bold paint colors and busy tilework.<\/p>\n

Finally, an interior that isn\u2019t \u201cMillennial gray.\u201d<\/p>\n

Outside, a casita can serve as a guest retreat or an artist\u2019s studio, for those who want to lean into the Casa Azul vibes even further by creating their masterworks. <\/p>\n

A stone path leads to the casita, passing by a tranquil fountain and a vibrant mural, which even harks back to the pop-folk art and murals of Kahlo\u2019s contemporaries, such as her husband, Diego Rivera.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, this home is already pending sale, reminding us that people crave living spaces that aren\u2019t hypnotically bland and inoffensive. This home comes with a bold personality, much like Frida Kahlo herself. And like Kahlo, it\u2019s hard to forget.<\/p>\n

This home is listed by\u00a0Christine Butschek<\/a> with Phyllis Browning Company.
