About this home
A 1945 Mission Revival adobe home thoughtfully updated with intention. Rooted in Tucson tradition, the house reflects a careful and respectful balance between preservation and modern living.
The property unfolds as a series of outdoor rooms, with native landscaping and shaded patios. A walled yard offers privacy while maintaining a connection to the neighborhood, extending the usability of outdoor living space. The front porch invites slow mornings and offers a perch to take in monsoon skies, sunsets, and the movement of hummingbirds. The landscape has been shaped to work with the desert, directing rainwater to planted swales and reinforcing a more sustainable relationship to the site.
Inside, the home has been edited with care. Light moves easily through the spaces, highlighting the textured adobe walls and creating a sense of calm. Thick walls provide a natural buffer from both noise and climate, helping regulate interior temperatures while softening transitions between spaces. The flexible plan allows for a one-bedroom residence with generous living space or a two-bedroom, two-bath configuration. The kitchen features custom cabinetry and steel countertops; integrated lighting, pull-out work surfaces, and ample storage bring both utility and craft into focus. Bathrooms have been updated with a restrained material palette and thoughtful detailing.
Beyond the visible layers, significant infrastructure improvements reinforce the quality of the work, including new HVAC, electrical updates, a rear gutter, and a water conditioning system. Updates were completed by the current architect owner with long-term intentions before plans changed. A detached workshop with laundry, connected to water and a greywater system, offers flexibility for a studio, office, or future dwelling. Alley access provides off-street parking and supports the potential for an additional unit.
Quietly positioned in historic Barrio Santa Rosa, several of Tucson's best cafés, bakeries, and restaurants are within walking distance, along with nearby parks and the cultural amenities of Barrio Viejo galleries, MOCA, and the convention center. Sentinel Peak trails, Mission Gardens, and the Loop bike path are all within a mile, offering a rare balance of urban access and connection to the landscape.
This is a home that lives simply and intentionally, an adobe that carries its history forward while embracing a quieter, more connected way of living in the desert. This home is eligible for the historic tax credit....
