5625 E 7th St, Tucson, AZ 85711

This unique home was designed and built by a sought-after mid-century architectural designer and custom home builder Tom Gist who created over 170 houses in Tucson. Tom Gist is known for his use of burnt adobe grouted in unique natural style, abundance of windows facing Catalina Mountains, bringing the natural beauty of the desert into the home and Philippine Mahogany wood finishes throughout. This beautiful 4 bed / 2 bath house is nestled on a large 0.31 acre, corner lot with circular driveway, mature vegetation and mountain views. Lovely, covered patio off the big kitchen creates a wonderful outdoor living space and serves as a gateway to the quiet, fully fenced backyard oasis. The entire Leonora Addition neighborhood was repaved last summer and the house is connected to fiber optic internet via CenturyLink. Many recent home improvements include beautifully remodeled bathrooms, freshly painted interior, new double pane Milgard windows (dining room, kitchen and primary bathroom), recoated roof, new garage doors and openers, fire separation wall installation between the garage and dwelling, tankless water heater, water softener, electrical updating, new laundry box and plumbing fixtures, newer refrigerator, washer and dryer, new bedroom lighting and ceiling fans. (See detailed List of Home Improvements in the Documents section of the listing.) Living in this remarkable home doesn't feel like you are in the city, and yet the property is hidden in Central Tucson within walking distance to Park Place Mall, movie theaters, Highland Vista Park, great restaurants, and countless other entertainment options and services. By Tom Gist's design, utilities in Leonora Addition neighborhood are buried, so there are no power poles in the alleys and streets surrounding the house. A rare find in Tucson! You have found a gem ready for your personal touches!
