  1 / 47  
C. 1941 Mud Adobe, a welcoming courtyard reveals sculptural adobe walls, native plantings and a turquoise entry. The arched gate and warm stucco walls create a memorable arrival. A turquoise front door and shaded porch introduce the home's unmistakably Tucson character. The covered front porch opens toward the courtyard, extending the home's living space outdoors. Mature shade, brick pathways and desert plantings give the courtyard a settled sense of place. A distinctive side gate connects the courtyard with the home's additional outdoor living areas. Exposed wood beams, Saltillo tile and natural light bring warmth to the main living room. A wide view shows how the living room connects naturally with the surrounding spaces. Windows on two sides bring generous natural light into the beamed living room. The breakfast/dining nook offers an intimate place for morning coffee beside the kitchen. Remodeled in 2023, the kitchen pairs Talavera tile, butcher-block counters and a retro refrigerator. Drop ceilings were eliminated during the 2023 kitchen remodel, so the beamed ceiling carries through from the living room. The wide kitchen view highlights its efficient layout and connection to the breakfast nook. Colorful Talavera tile brings a distinctly Tucson finish to the sink and backsplash. The gas range is framed by Talavera tile, open shelving and a metal hood. Aligned doorways create a long interior view and reveal the home's layered, intimate layout. Exposed wood beams and a richly colored concrete floor give the den architectural warmth. A reverse view shows the den's natural light and easy connection to the rest of the home. Skylights and exposed ceilings bring light and character to the interior. The primary bedroom pairs a calm palette with natural light and garden views. A sliding door extends the bedroom directly to the covered patio and garden. The reverse view shows the bedroom's windows, entry and comfortable proportions. Cedar lined closet with built-in wood shelving adds practical storage and a warm, handcrafted detail. Saltillo tile floors and windows on two sides create a bright, flexible bonus room. The reverse view shows the bonus room's doorway and relationship to the adjoining spaces. The renovated bath features a quartz-topped double vanity and colorful arched mirrors. A wood-plank ceiling and twin mirrors give the double vanity a distinctive sense of place. The glass-enclosed shower adds a clean, contemporary counterpoint to the bath's regional details. The laundry room offers exterior access and practical utility near the rear of the home. A stacked washer and dryer maximize space while preserving room for household storage. A sliding patio door connects the primary bedroom with a shaded Saltillo-tiled outdoor living area. The rear elevation shows the patio, mature shade and easy connection to the garden. Slatted shade casts changing patterns across the Saltillo-tiled patio throughout the day. Paved outdoor areas create flexible places for seating, dining and entertaining beneath mature trees. A broad garden view captures the home's intimate scale and its "mini-park" like setting beneath mature shade. Raised beds and mature trees support a garden designed for beauty, pollinators and everyday use. The detached shed with power sits naturally within the garden and adds useful storage. "the barn" has a new roof and fresh paint. Shaded paths connects the home, covered parking and garden areas. Citrus trees and raised garden planters were added in 2023. The garden path follows the rear patio through mature desert landscaping. Native plantings soften the path beside the home and invite exploration through the garden. Added in 2026, the wide East-facing side pergola creates a generous setting for dining and gathering. A final porch view returns to the turquoise entry and the home's warm, welcoming character. The side patio leads naturally toward the courtyard gate and front of the property. Covered parking with room for 2-3 vehicles (tandem) The street view shows the walled setting, mature palms and covered parking approach. The covered rear patio opens directly to the garden for relaxed indoor-outdoor living.

Property Description
C. 1941 mud-adobe bungalow. An arched gate, richly colored walls and a shaded courtyard introduce you to this home that feels firmly rooted in Tucson. Exposed beams and Saltillo tile lend warmth, while the 2023 kitchen remodel adds butcher-block counters, open shelving, Talavera tile and a retro refrigerator. A quartz-topped double vanity refreshes the bath. Windows, a sliding patio door and paint were updated in 2024; new HVAC followed in 2026. Saltillo patios and a side pergola added in 2026 invite morning coffee and afternoons in the shade. Native pollinator plantings, citrus and raised beds enrich the garden, supported by new irrigation and rock bioswales, all professionally landscaped. A shed with power adds utility and storage. Unmistakably Tucson.
