This enchanting Spanish style property, featuring a main residence and a separate guest house, blends hacienda inspired warmth with distinctive character and charm, creating a world of its own in the heart of central Tucson. Beyond tall stucco walls and a private electric gate, an inviting oasis awaits, with lush desert gardens, sheltered outdoor spaces, and a winding pathway that gently guides you through the gardens to the guest house and backyard. It's a setting that invites you to slow down and discover the quiet beauty of everyday life here. The main residence offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with antique Indian teakwood doors and shutters showcasing exquisite craftsmanship and intricate hand carving. Soaring ceilings with exposed wood beams, stained concrete floors, hand painted accents, and a striking beehive fireplace fill the home with warmth and artistry. A colorful kitchen and remodeled bathrooms complement its timeless charm, while French doors and carved teakwood double doors connect the great room to inviting outdoor spaces.
Nestled within the gardens, the remodeled guest house offers one bedroom, one bathroom, its own kitchen, and a bright bonus room ideal for an office or studio. A generous covered outdoor space blends naturally into the surrounding landscape, extending the sense of retreat. Together, these features create a welcoming place for guests, with potential for rental income.
Outdoors, mature palms, flowering desert plants, and fruit trees surround spaces made for quiet moments and memorable gatherings. Enjoy morning coffee as birdsong fills gardens thoughtfully nurtured to welcome wildlife. As the day gives way to evening, savor a leisurely dinner on the patio, where the gentle sounds of a nearby water feature and the soft glow of string lights create a tranquil setting. A soothing soak in the cedar hot tub beneath the night sky offers the perfect way to close the day.
With no HOA, this one of a kind property pairs the feeling of a secluded retreat with the convenience of central Tucson living. Local dining, parks, and everyday essentials are close by, along with favorites such as Whole Foods Market and The Loft Cinema.
