This is the real deal -- an adobe home designed in 1936 by renowned Tucson architect Josias Joesler, with character and charm that's signature to his work, plus modern touches that make life comfortable. The thick adobe walls keep the house naturally cool in summer and cozy in winter, which your energy bill will thank you for. The home offers an authentic experience that flows throughout. The owners have recently put a large investment into the home to keep its historic charm. The original wood floors have been beautifully refinished to restore their natural beauty. Fresh paint has been implemented throughout the main living areas. The former garage has been thoughtfully converted into a bright studio with AC and large windows -- providing valuable extra square footage that most homes in the area don't offer. It's perfect for a home office, yoga space, or future guest accommodations. There's something special about living in an adobe house. It's quieter, more peaceful, and beyond the official square footage, there's a finished basement that adds even more usable space. Step outside to the massive 13,500 sq ft lot with low-maintenance desert plants and stately saguaros. The professional cement court in the backyard currently serves as a basketball court but could become the foundation for a future ADU or pickleball court. Located in the friendly San Gabriel neighborhood, you're close to downtown and the University of Arizona, while enjoying a desert oasis. The property has proven Airbnb income potential, or simply move in and enjoy a genuine piece of Tucson's architectural heritage created by one of the city's most influential designers.
