About this home
A Rare Dual-Purpose Gem in Historic Catalina Vista. Set on the sleepy frontage road next to Tucson Blvd, this is a peaceful sanctuary from the moment you arrive.Whether you're searching for a dream primary residence or a high-performing short-term rental investment, this iconic 1946 territorial-style home in coveted Catalina Vista delivers both effortlessly. The impressive adobe perimeter wall and striking Cor-Ten steel entry gate do more than impress, they create a natural sound barrier that filters out city traffic and street noise, surrounding the property in a private oasis. The sculpted front yard features towering saguaros, native desert boulders, and a thoughtfully designed flood basin landscape that channels rainwater directly to the plantings.A low-maintenance, sustainable Sonoran desert masterpiece that sets the tone for everything inside.
For the Airbnb Investor: This home was practically designed for short-term rental success. The 2024 addition introduced a luxurious primary suite, completing a true split bedroom floor plan that gives guests and hosts complete privacy on opposite ends of the home. Dual access points on both sides of the property allow for seamless, independent guest entry -- no awkward shared spaces, just a smooth, professional hosting experience. The Pebbletec pool with waterfall feature and lush tropical backyard and the large gravel side yard with full RV hookups adds a second income stream -- rent the RV space separately and let the property pay for itself.
For the Primary Homeowner: This is the kind of home Tucson rarely offers. Original 1946 territorial character meets thoughtful 2024 craftsmanship -- matching masonry stucco, wall-to-wall porcelain tile, designer bathrooms, a gourmet kitchen with Corian countertops and a charming built-in dining nook, and three independent climate zones for year-round comfort. Two skylights bring natural light into the most intimate spaces, while mature trees, flowering hedges, and a covered patio frame a backyard that feels like a private resort.
The detached stucco workshop with full electricity and a security-gated entry round out a property that is as functional as it is beautiful.
Historic charm. Modern upgrades. Income potential. Privacy you can feel. This is not just a home -- it's a lifestyle and an investment in one....
