Supplements: ceilings, wood lintels, and original Saltillo tile flooring. The living spaces with walls of windows and natural light exude authentic Southwestern charm, including: welcoming great room with banco seating, beamed ceilings, and a Rumford wood-burning fireplace; a character-rich kitchen with custom cabinetry, traditional Mexican Talavera tile countertops and stainless steel appliances; a cozy family room with fireplace that flows into the serene primary suite, complete with its own fireplace and backyard access. Additional highlights include mesquite wood flooring in the family room and primary suite, the three interior Rumford fireplaces, and a hand-carved feature pole that anchors the home's artisanal design. Step outside to your private desert oasis, where a newer lagoon-style pool with water feature and solar heating is surrounded by lush vegetation. Entertain under the detached ramada-style outdoor living area with a wood-burning fireplace or unwind in the secluded walled garden patio accessed through striking Old Mexican blue double doors. Modern conveniences blend seamlessly with historic character, including dual HVAC systems (just 2 years old) and a hot water recirculation loop. Located within highly sought-after District 16 and walking distance to Catalina Foothills High School, this home offers both convenience and tranquility. This is not a contemporary-style home, it is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Tucson's architectural soul. If you value authenticity, craftsmanship, and the romance of the Old Southwest, this may be exactly the home for which you have been searching.
