About This Home
Opportunities like this don't come around often! Set on a coveted corner lot in West University, this exceptional 1899 property offers a one-of-a-kind blend of charm, privacy, and income potential, all just minutes away from Tucson's most beloved shops, restaurants, and the university.
The main residence features a welcoming wrap-around porch, 4 spacious bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a two car garage. A thoughtfully designed remodel highlights the heart of the home: a chef's kitchen quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, walk-in pantry, and a large island perfect for hosting. Beyond the main house, a separate 1-bed/1-bath guest house provides flexible space for visitors or extended family, while a detached duplex, each side offering 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, adds incredible rental income to offset your mortgage.
Outdoors, the property transforms into a true oasis: lush landscaping, sparkling pool and spa, multiple covered patios, outdoor fireplace (original Franklin stove from kitchen) , and fully enclosed privacy walls create the perfect backdrop for morning coffee or evening gatherings. The rare 2-car garage offers ample space for vehicles, storage, or gear.
