828 S Russell Avenue, Tucson, Arizona, 85701

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. Its brick patio, creates its own private space. The grounds feels layered, with desert landscaping, mature scrubs and trees. You will feel removed from the city while only being steps away from coffee shops and restaurants. The casita can be ready for guests, a studio or rental income. A rare retreat of adobe and shade, made for slow mornings and easy city living. Upgrades through out, new mini splits, appliances, countertops and solar which reduces the monthly payment to a minimum, the loan can easily be assumed. Call agent for the full list of upgrades.
