Territorial

Great design is timeless. This will only be the second time the ownership outside of the original family that the home will have changed hands, providing a rare opportunity to own a piece of Tucson history. The c. 1938 Territorial home feels just as elegant today as it was when it hosted fantastic dinner parties for the Duke and Duchess of Windsor while they enjoyed a winter escape in the Sonoran Desert staying steps away at the Arizona Inn. Marks of great craftsmanship are evident throughout the home. Hand troweled, smooth stucco exterior walls encase period elements like the old-growth white oak hardwood floors, handcrafted steel glass doors opening out to the backyard, and a simple, modern, contemporary studio. With its polished concrete floors and interior walls constructed of exposed brick and plate steel, the studio is perfect as a home office, art studio, or guest suite. The four-bedroom main house offers a split bedroom floor plan and four vintage tiled bathrooms. The sophisticated living room is rich with texture from grasscloth wallpaper, beamed ceilings, and one of three wood-burning fireplaces. The home also has a large open finished basement with high ceilings and window wells letting in natural light, a wine cellar and additional storage. The backyard is an escape to your own oasis with a sparkling pool, lush green lawns, large bricked patios and gabled tree house all tucked away behind large, mature foliage and old grove citrus trees. Full of classic Tucson charm and character, this property is a contributing home to the Blenman Elm neighborhood National Historic District. All within walking distance to Banner Hospital and the University of Arizona.
