We don’t say this lightly, but Frida Kahlo might take a shine to a 1925 bungalow recently listed for sale in Monte Vista.

Listed for $825,000, the quirky and charming home seems perfectly suited for an artist who lives by their own rules.

Kahlo — the genius behind “My Dress Hangs Here” and other iconic works — created a haven in her Casa Azul, located in the historic Coyoacán district of Mexico City. The home, now the Frida Kahlo Museum, reflected her rich inner world: dynamic, earthy and vibrant.

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.

Rich in Old World charm, the home’s exterior showcases thick stucco walls, a classic red Spanish tile roof and original tile accents that celebrate its historic heritage.

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.

But for just the right person, interior walls that look like a green, frosted cake embellished with a giant crucifix are ideal.

Artistic touches — and more crucifixes — continue throughout the home, which pops with bold paint colors and busy tilework.

Finally, an interior that isn’t “Millennial gray.”

Outside, a casita can serve as a guest retreat or an artist’s studio, for those who want to lean into the Casa Azul vibes even further by creating their masterworks.

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’s contemporaries, such as her husband, Diego Rivera.

Unsurprisingly, this home is already pending sale, reminding us that people crave living spaces that aren’t hypnotically bland and inoffensive. This home comes with a bold personality, much like Frida Kahlo herself. And like Kahlo, it’s hard to forget.

This home is listed by Christine Butschek with Phyllis Browning Company.
