Property Description
Urban oasis in Barrio Santa Rosa, the two homes sits within one of Tucson's oldest and most storied neighborhoods. Downtown, the restaurants of Five Points and the events that animate the city are all an easy walk away, with dinner, coffee and neighborhood life just beyond the gate. The walled yard is shaded by mature mesquite, the lot hosts two homes, an adobe house with a wrap-around covered porch with oversized plank doors that open the interior to the yard. Inside, concrete floors and exposed adobe walls rise to a ceiling of rough-sawn beams. The space lives as an open studio today and could easily be defined as a one-bedroom. Across a brick path, the casita opens through red French doors to a kitchenette, a bath clad in corrugated metal and a bedroom with original wood floors.
