Adam &
Laura Escoto
A
dam and Laura Escoto’s
home is just west of down-
town Morgan Hill. It is a
small but not a tiny house.
It is only 1250 square feet with two
bedrooms and one bath. There is
something unique here. It has a great
spirit...a big heart.
The Escoto’s moved into the circa
1920’s home in 1987 and were soon
joined by a son and twin boys. They
quickly realized there was just not enough room for that many
people. The son and boys stayed, and Adam and Laura moved
into a larger new tract home. While the new home was roomy
and well appointed, the older home beckoned them back. After
nine years the son and boys moved into their own place. Adam
and Laura answered the call of the older home...“the magic came
back.”
Adam and Laura worked on the old place, terraced the
angular back yard and extended their living space outdoors.
Today the home is welcoming and a tribute to family and their
Mexican heritage. The warm wood floors, cozy rooms and
curved moldings give the house a comforting feel. Windows
stream in sunlight everywhere and warmly accent their many
art pieces. Adam and Laura travel the Southwest and often bring
back interesting and unique pieces which complement their
collection of furniture and art, created by the family.
Just inside the front door is a glass bookcase that is a
museum-like tribute to family and memories...baby shoes,
special items from kids and grandkids, a photo of “Ayu,” their
white German Shepherd, a green car, grandparents’ hats, travel
tokens and more..
