What Makes This Home Special

A Blend of Vintage Charm and Practical Updates

Stepping inside the main home is like walking into a piece of Tucson’s past — with original character intact but updated for modern comfort. The living spaces are naturally bright, and the floor plan features a mix of traditional charm and thoughtful updates.

The kitchen is equipped with contemporary amenities — stainless steel appliances, gas range, and abundant cabinetry — yet retains a classic vibe thanks to a farmhouse‑style apron-front sink and cheerful countertop design.

The home layout smartly separates living spaces: a primary suite, a guest/ensuite bedroom, plus additional bedrooms and baths, ensuring privacy and flexibility for families or guests. A sunroom overlooks the pool, offering an ideal spot for morning coffee or relaxed reading sessions.

Turnkey Guest House — Great for Guests, Studio, Or Rental Income

One of the standout features of this property is the fully detached guest house. At roughly 354 sq ft, it includes a living area, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, kitchenette, and an updated bath — making it perfect for extended family stays, guests, or even generating rental income.

Both the main home and guest house underwent thoughtful revitalization in 2014, so you get the best of both worlds: preserved character and modern livability.

Outdoor Space, Flexibility & Lifestyle Potential

With 2.68 acres under CR‑1 zoning, this property offers rare flexibility. Whether you’re dreaming of horses, a small hobby farm, a garden oasis, or extra structures — you’ve got the space to bring those ideas to life.

Outside, a private PebbleTec pool, desert landscaping, RV parking and a workshop/storage building (complete with a historic fruit cellar!) provide both charm and functionality. The open land and mature desert flora create a tranquil retreat-like atmosphere — a true escape from the hustle and bustle.

Quiet Desert Setting — Yet Close to Tucson Conveniences

While the home feels private and tucked away — with a brick courtyard, shaded trees, and desert serenity — it’s still conveniently located just minutes from shopping, dining, and daily necessities in Tucson.

No HOA means you have freedom to tailor the property to your lifestyle — whether that’s adding outbuildings, creating unique outdoor spaces, or simply maintaining it as a peaceful retreat.

Who This Homes Is Perfect For

  • Families — generous bedrooms and bathrooms, flexible living spaces, and guest house for extended family or visitors.

  • Desert‑living lovers — those who appreciate Tucson’s desert landscape, mountain views, and outdoor living with space and privacy.

  • Hobby farmers or animal owners — CR‑1 zoning and acreage provide room for horses or small livestock, gardens, or future outbuildings.

  • Buyers seeking a turnkey property with character — a home that blends historic charm with modern convenience, needing little major renovation.

  • Investors or multi‑generational living — the guest house offers rental potential or a private living space for family members.
