About this property

Can you picture yourself staying in this remarkable home as a luxury short-term rental in the heart of Tucson - where historic charm meets modern comfort in an unforgettable setting? Meticulously restored Queen Anne-era residence originally constructed in 1910, this extraordinary property seamlessly blends historic grandeur with modern livability. The thoughtfully reconfigured floor plan was designed to meet the needs of today's lifestyle while honoring the home's original architectural integrity. Much of the original stained glass has been carefully preserved, complemented by beautifully restored wood floors and distinctive architectural details that exemplify the craftsmanship of the early 20th century. This truly one-of-a-kind home was originally built for Peter and Mary Ziegler, with Peter Ziegler recognized as Tucson's first railroad engineer. The property is located in the historic Iron Horse District, an enclave established for Tucson's earliest railroaders, adding rich historical context and provenance that cannot be replicated. The home has undergone a comprehensive restoration, including new electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. Additional upgrades include five mini-split systems upstairs for enhanced comfort, sound-reducing flooring on the upper level, and numerous other thoughtful improvements that ensure modern efficiency without compromising character. Offering four bedrooms and four full bathrooms, the property also features ample storage and a basement; rare and valuable attributes for a home of this era. The grounds are fully landscaped, showcasing original brick pavers in the front yard that further highlight the home's historic charm. The oversized rear parking area, secured by an automatic gate, accommodates up to six vehicles an exceptional feature for a historic property. A beautifully paved side yard provides a versatile outdoor space ideal for gatherings and entertaining, offering endless possibilities for enjoyment. This exceptional residence stands as a masterful restoration of Tucson history, combining timeless elegance, modern comfort, and unparalleled character.
