Pueblo

A charming architecturally and historically significant compound with irreplaceable gardens and handsome Catalina Mountains views is now welcoming its first new owners in over 40 years. The welcoming, rambling, and one-of-a-kind home and gardens are part of the Indian House Community Residential Historic District, believed to date back to the 1920's; the home is considered an example of Pueblo-Revival style. Thick adobe walls, original vigas (thick wood beams), and original lintels (exposed wood above doors and windows) found throughout the home exemplify elements of this style. Known historically as The Carr-Newell House, but today perhaps more aptly named ''The Garden Home'' in recognition of the stunning gardens surrounding the home, this property fits for families, entertaining, multi-generation, or professionals desiring a spacious home office with a private entrance. Upon entry, be prepared to be enchanted with the huge main salon and smaller study with views out to the numerous outdoor living spaces that seamlessly connect and integrate within the natural desert landscape. Extensive brick pathways lead to charming shaded brick patios lending themselves to chilled lemonade and a cozy chat on a warm afternoon. Irrigated flowering gardens and hedges hide behind brick enclosure walls, with shade from ancient and fragrant eucalyptus, olive, kumquat, and cypress trees, one housing the possibly cutest treehouse in Tucson! Beyond is the gated enclosed pool, two-bedroom original casita, and circular ramada, another shady spot for a respite on a warm day by the pool. The kitchen and breakfast room enjoy views of the Catalinas overlooking a charming garden morning courtyard. There are new granite counters, a Viking stove and oven, and a generous butler pantry. A large bedroom or "bonus room" nearby looks out to the "Desert Garden", also fully enclosed. The dining area has been home to many large parties and holiday dinners, while the garden has welcomed several weddings. Two additional bedrooms, one with a large, remodeled bath featuring a steam bath and cedar closet, and the spacious private office with its views of the Catalinas and the rear gardens, complete the interior of the home. Perhaps the current owners can best describe this unique property: "...given the fact that we have both passed the eighty mark and not likely to be up for the moving adventure for much longer, we have decided that we will put this wonderful oasis, this Shangri-La, this quiet haven in the middle of Tucson where road runners, bobcats and javelinas freely roam, where quail, cardinals, owls, doves and hummingbirds nest and play, into the hands of a new and younger family who will treasure the unique setting and the gracious home. And who knows, make it even better." An additional 1.3 Acre adjoining undeveloped parcel is also available. This area has been occupied by many interesting historical figures, including the pianist Van Cliburn from 1960-1990 and many professors, lawyers, artists, and even a retired rancher. The home is a private sanctuary yet close to the University and Tucson's finest dining, cultural events, and entertaining, and medical facilities. A lengthy history of the Indian House Community Historic District is available and provided to the purchasers of this unique Pueblo-Revival style home. Please call for a private showing. As an added bonus, the seller will consider carrying the financing with 20% down!!
