Nestled in the highly sought-after Blenman-Elm Historic District, this charming c.1938 bungalow seamlessly blends vintage character with modern updates. The classic Spanish tile roof and beautifully preserved oak hardwood floors, coved ceilings, and arched doorways maintain the historic character.
A spacious, remodeled kitchen offers ample cabinetry, generous counter space, and a central island perfect for cooking and gathering. The expanded primary suite includes a full bath and an inviting Arizona room with access to the backyard. A detached studio provides a versatile retreat, ideal for a home office, art space, or private guest quarters. The desert landscaped front and back yard complement the expansive 0.27-acre lot, which features a separate walled yard offering endless possibilities for expansion, a guest house, ADU or an urban garden. Ideally located near the University of Arizona, Banner Hospital, shopping, and entertainment, this home is a rare gem in a vibrant, historic neighborhood.
