With thoughtful updates and timeless charm, this Sam Hughes treasure offers cozy comfort, character, and convenience. Behind its inviting façade is a wonderful and welcoming main house completed by a detached guest house, a refreshing pool, and energy-saving solar panels. Inside, a light-filled living room with custom built-ins—currently styled as a formal dining area—sets the tone. Two main-level bedrooms are connected by a beautifully remodeled bathroom featuring a subway-tiled shower, mission-style tile flooring, and a contemporary vanity. A separate family room invites relaxation with its gas fireplace, breakfast nook, LVP flooring, and expansive 8-foot sliders that open to the outdoors.
Upstairs, the private primary suite feels like a retreat, offering an ensuite bath with double vanities, walk-in shower, private water closet, and a generous walk-in closet. From bed, take in views of the Santa Catalina Mountains.
The backyard is a true extension of the living space, with a dramatic wraparound patio featuring wood beams and metal roofing, low-maintenance turf, brick pavers, and a large, fenced-in pool. A detached guest house offers added flexibility for visitors or workspace. Behind the home, a two-car carport over a large concrete pad for 3 with alley provide ample off-street parking.
Beautifully landscaped and full of charm, this home is just steps from the University of Arizona, Himmel Park, and an abundance of local shops, restaurants, and cultural destinations. This home is a contributing property to the National Historic Register and offers a 35% - 45% discount on property taxes to owner occupants!
