Elegant and Charming Haven near the University of Arizona

Description

We are working at another university so our lovely, well-furnished historic house will be available. With lovely desert gardens front and back, this lovingly maintained home is perfect for one to three people. The house has comfortable, quiet, private office spaces for concentrated work. The location provides straightforward access to the University of Arizona and to Banner-University Medical Center. This historic, double brick and stucco Spanish Colonial Revival house is located in the Rincon Heights Historic Neighborhood, on the south side of the University of Arizona. You can walk or ride a bike 4 blocks north to the University campus. Continuing through the campus takes you to Banner-University Medical Center. The house is perfect for visiting academics, doctors, or visitors who appreciate a well-furnished, high-end historic house with easy access to the university. The well-maintained main house was built in 1928 and has a master bedroom, an office room, and 2 bathrooms. There is also an excellent kitchen with new appliances and comfortable dining and living rooms. The small original bathroom in the main house has a tub. The other bathroom there is larger with an Italian tiled shower that glows and shimmers under its own skylight. The house is furnished throughout with colorful rugs. The quiet main bedroom has a comfortable California king-sized bed with a deluxe latex mattress. The other bedroom is located in the separate casita and has a “full” size single bed. The artistically-gated driveway leads to covered parking on the side of the house for two vehicles; there is off-street room for additional vehicles. Front and back covered porches and outdoor patios are perfect for morning coffee and reading. There is a large sitting room with a huge north window that look onto a lush backyard landscape with hummingbirds that live in the garden. The main house has coved ceilings, oak hardwood floors, and well-designed lighting. Enjoy the living room with its lovely sofa and fireplace. Dining and sunsets in the private backyard can be done at the massive hand-crafted mesquite table and bench. There is a new, quiet, central air conditioner to provide extra summer comfort. For cooking, there is a new gas stove and range hood, a large new refrigerator, and quality pans. A large maple cutting board countertop next to the stove makes meal preparation in place a joy. A lovely copper counter rounds out this remodeled kitchen. In the back patio, a deluxe Weber gas barbecue with a smoker and a separate burner for a pan provides another cooking option. The detached (630 square feet) Casita was built in the back garden in 2005. For working from home, the main house and Casita provide choices of desks and workspaces, all with fast internet thanks to the new mesh system. In the Casita, there are two private office areas with doors, so simultaneous zoom meetings are possible. Each office area also has openable French doors to the patio. A laser printer with scanner is provided so you can print wirelessly from any location. There are many comfortable reading areas in the house and in the Casita with windows and skylights providing good quality outdoor light. The combined kitchen/dining area of the Casita has a table, sink, small refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher. A large new washer and a dryer are also found in the Casita. The Casita has two final highlights: a large bathtub as well as an outdoor shower. The utilities (gas, electricity, water, and internet) are all paid by the owners; reasonable utility use is requested. The main house and Casita both have central heat and air conditioning. This lovely house and its gardens are in an amazing location with easy access to the University of Arizona, the Banner-University Medical Center, and the 4th Avenue and historic downtown shopping and entertainment districts.
