Property Description
In the backyard, your guests will be surprised and delighted by the "Cantina De Jesus," which looks straight out of a movie set, but actually provides the homeowner with numerous outdoor storage areas and workshops. Could be potential for a guest house or casita- one would just need to add plumbing. (Electrical is already there). Workshop area has 220V- great for projects. Also a potting shed and numerous creative outdoor spaces- limited only by your imagination.
Additional upgrades to the home include- All windows were replaced by Tucson Window and Door. Electric Box was upgraded in 2007. New Gas Meter and Water Meter. Water Heater replaced in 2019. Split System HVAC- front unit replaced in 2021- back unit replaced in 2020. ADT Home Security System with Security Cameras (Stays). Breezeway connecting wings of the house with stained concrete flooring. Primary Suite Wing was a previous addition and is Burnt Adobe construction, and contains the Primary Bedroom, Laundry + Storage. The Primary Bath was Remodeled with a Walk in Shower, and is spacious and bright. The primary wing also offers a separate Executive office space (or 4th bedroom) with wood plank floors, exposed adobe, wood beams, and an old fashioned cast iron corner pot belly stove (stays). Entire house has numerous period built in cabinet and secret storage nooks/additional storage spaces. (When visiting check behind shuttered doors). The driveway has room to add on a single car, tandem carport.
The backyard is a zen oasis with patio #2- a brick sitting area among tall mature trees, an outdoor brick fire pit, and a lovely metal ocotillo ribbed fencing. The beautiful backyard provides a peaceful oasis, and is also pool sized.
This home was originally custom built for the former president of Valley National Bank. A rare offering in the classic El Montevideo Estates Community- it is a true Tucson treasure, with the money saving benefits of Historic tax status. The property also has one of only 57 remaining original Truly Nolen termite warranties from 1969.
You'll love this location: it's just a short stroll to Locale for morning coffee, weekend brunch, or an elevated dinner. Midtown restaurants and shopping are minutes away, and the historic Sunshine Mile district is also close at hand. The home sits just 2.5 miles from the University of Arizona, and only 3.5 miles from downtown- offering quick access to everything from arts and culture, to major medical and employers.
Less than half a mile away is Gene C. Reid Park, Tucson's iconic recreation hub: run or walk the scenic 2-mile path, play one of two 18-hole golf courses, visit the Reid Park Zoo, wander the rose garden and duck pond, or take your dog to Miko's Corner Playground for off-leash fun. The Edith Ball Adaptive Recreation Center offers year-round swimming and wellness programs.
Welcome to your own Tucson Historic, Mid-town Oasis, where all the work has been done. Here, in the midst of a shaded Eucalyptus grove- you will find the perfect place to begin your next chapter!
