About this property

A welcoming red brick charmer on a friendly tree-lined street happily awaits its’ new owners. This lovely home, with its’ many gorgeous upgrades and improvements, exemplifies the urban renewal that has occurred in this area close to the “new and improved” Downtown Tucson. Mature trees and a brick walkway greet visitors, with a new attractive light fixture illuminating the doorway. A front porch looks like just the spot for holiday decorations, be it pumpkins & witches or elves and Santa Claus. Inside, almost all floors have been replaced with beautiful large diagonal squares of ceramic tile (looks like travertine!) or handsome wood laminate. Walls have been moved or removed to create today’s popular “Open Plan” home, with the completely renovated kitchen open to the dining and living/great room areas and adjacent to a perfect office space and new Arizona Room. That kitchen has attractive new granite counter tops on both the wall counters and generously sized island, a fabulous oversize stainless sink with a dynamite new sprayer faucet (right out of HGTV!). The new maple cabinets and drawers have soft-close hardware. New stainless appliances include a Maytag dishwasher and Samsung five-burner cooktop, oven and microwave. Both bathrooms are fully updated, with new shower/tub, new surrounds, new toilets and fixtures and counters/cabinets. There's new lighting throughout this warm and inviting home, including overhead spots, pendant lights and a lovely new chandelier in the dining area. The entire interior is freshly painted in attractive neutral tones that complement the new flooring and other finishes. A large well-lit Arizona Room/multi-purpose room has been added, with Saltillo tile floors, large casement windows overlooking the delightful rear garden. French casement doors open to the full covered terrace with three attractive newer fans for those warm summer evenings. With a southerly orientation, it's a delightful spot to gather with friends and family, overlooking the enclosed pool and shaded by mature Arizona ash trees. And there's real grass, irrigated and newly installed, a refreshing sight in Tucson. Two large sheds, one larger and with a cooler and currently utilized as a workshop/man-cave, are also in the rear yard. Large gates open to an alley, allowing entry for super-sized "toys" or equipment if needed. A new roof, under six months old, completes the renovations to this well-priced nearly-new home. See list of all renovations and costs under "documents" section. This home has been the scene of many happy family events for birthdays, holidays and social gatherings, and has been well-loved and enjoyed by its owners, who raised three children here during the 18 years they have owned it. They have appreciated the proximity to great shops and restaurants in an area that has recently experienced significant urban renewal with the additions of even more services, shops and delicious restaurants, along with medical care in the form of a new neighborhood Urgent Care run by Banner and easy access to excellent hospitals. Many of these amenities are within walking distance, including Park Place Mall. A nearby park provides a pool, tennis courts, dog park and baseball fields. The community is alive during the holidays with trick-or-treaters and lots of decorations at Christmastime, like an old-fashioned friendly neighborhood. And if all of that's not sufficient, the nearby schools are excellent. What more are you waiting for, ya'll come on over!
