Historic Family Home Close to University of Arizona

Description

Up for rent is our 1939 Pueblo Revival home on a third of an acre in Sam Hughes, less than a mile from the University of Arizona and only 2 blocks from 23-acre Himmel Park with two playgrounds, tennis and pickleball courts, a public library, a public pool and a tight-knit friendly community. We are located on the 3rd St bike path which offers a straight shot to the U of A campus. We are in the boundary area for Sam Hughes Elementary, meaning that children get a guaranteed spot at the school. The house backs on to a wild desert area maintained by a neighbor, making it very quiet and tranquil. Neighbors on all sides are a very friendly bunch - a mix of U of A faculty, retirees and families. The house has three bedrooms, two baths, a living room and a large Arizona room with double doors leading to a large patio shaded by mesquite trees. There are a variety of established mesquite trees on the property, offering a high degree of shade. The backyard has a newly installed dining area with gas barbecue. The kitchen is original, including a 1936 Chambers stove. We have added a dishwasher and modern fridge. We also have a whole house water softener and a built-in reverse osmosis water filtration system. We have a new piano. We have ample storage space in a lockable garage. This is a great place to land if you are relocating to Tucson and need a few months to explore the area or house hunt before settling down more permanently.
