Step into the charm of Tucson's historic Sam Hughes neighborhood with this beautifully maintained 1929 Spanish Bungalow. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its original character, this residence offers 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in a desirable split floorplan. Inside, you'll find original wood floors, custom built-ins and wood beam ceilings, complemented by newer luxury vinyl plank flooring. The great room showcases a decorative (currently non-functioning) fireplace with a custom tile surround, creating an inviting space. Modern touches include under cabinet lighting in the kitchen, a new microwave, and the refrigerator, washer, and dryer convey for added convenience. The exterior is just as appealing, with a fully walled lot, gated access at both the front and rear, including a custom metal gate at the rear and alley access to four parking spaces. Outdoor living is enhanced by a front patio, large rear yard, custom brick grill, and mature landscaping supported by a front and rear drip system. Recent upgrades include a new HVAC system (2020), water heater (2024), and exterior paint (2022). The interior of the home was freshly painted in September 2025, with both showers professionally cleaned and sealed in August 2025.
Living in Sam Hughes means enjoying one of Tucson's most beloved historic districts, officially recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. Planning and development began in 1921, and the neighborhood was designated a historic district in 1994. The area is walkable and bike-friendly, with community events and historic home tours. It is home to Himmel Park and Library, the renowned Sam Hughes Elementary, and a diverse mix of families, students, and professionals.
Located just east of the University of Arizona, the neighborhood is centrally positioned for campus access, downtown, local shops, dining, and parks, blending history, convenience, and community with timeless appeal.
Please Note: The City of Tucson is in the process of the Walkability Project on 6th Street (Campbell Avenue to Alvernon Way), which includes sidewalks, enhanced crossings, street lighting, and landscaping. Construction is scheduled for 2025-2026, and limited access may occur during this period.
