About This Home

As of May 2025

A creative expression blending historical elements, mid-century style and modern features creating a one-of-a-kind property in the heart of Tucson. The original 1947 mud adobe structure and combination of rural & urban provided inspiration for a dynamic architectural team to expand (nearly doubling the space) and reimagine this home. Carefully curated, the design honors the desert, while offering a fresh look & layout that suits today's lifestyle. Starting with the arrival through a beautiful casement entry door leading to a dramatic entry, everything here is custom and intentional. Form meets function with an open living space and split floor plan that provides 3 bedrooms, 2 1⁄2 bathrooms and a pocket office, spanning 2278 sq ft. The materials and design elements are simple, yet elegant. Light filled spaces are dotted with custom millwork, solid wood beams, perfectly positioned skylights, and carefully placed windows that draw the eye to green outside. Made to live and last, you will find large format tile and engineered hardwood on the floors, quartz counters, and soft close cabinetry. Sustainability was also top of mind in maintaining the adobe & masonry walls, adding insulation, installing electric appliances and selecting a light exterior for reflective qualities. There is an artistic and indigenous feeling in the historic neighborhood. Years ago, RillitoBend was home to the famous painters Maynard Dixion, Ted De Grazia and other creative spirits. Situated along the Rillito River, mature trees and community gardens are scattered throughout. Founded in 2010, 44 acres of open space with abundant plants and wildlife are available to enjoy at the Rio Vista Natural Resource Park. Although this property feels tucked away, everything the city has to offer is at your fingertips. Immediate access to Bicycle Boulevard provides the opportunity to ride to work or amenities. Within a 1⁄2 mile, residents enjoy the Rio Vista Park, the Tucson Raquet Club & access to The Loop along the Rillito River, which makes a variety of shops, restaurants and farmer's markets available by way of bike or foot. Directly south, the Winterhaven festival of lights is walkable every holiday season, while the University of Arizona is less than 4 miles away. This relaxed and community-oriented setting would make a wonderful full-time home or seasonal residence. With no HOA or deed restrictions, it would also be well positioned as a short-term rental.
