About This Home

As of January 2014

Dreaming of a Craftsman Bungalow, with period built-ins, fir wood floors, and even a vintage O'KEEFE & MERRITT stove? But need air conditioning, so you can live in comfort in the summer? Do you want the timeless atmosphere of Tucson but not the Barrio, near the U of A? Need a guest house so friends and relatives can visit without intruding? Find it in this 1915 dream with a finished basement and a garage! Store your classic car there, or turn it into your studio, the light is right, northern and diffuse. Water your garden with runoff or the grey water, live in a small footprint, but an elegant one. Make an offer before it goes. Not a Shortsale or an REO. Owners have never used the fireplace and this will convey As-Is.
