Property Description
Steeped in history, this original 1931 Spanish Colonial Revival estate in the prestigious El Encanto neighborhood embodies the perfect balance of historic elegance and modern refinement. Set behind gates on a large compound, this exceptional residence has been thoughtfully restored to preserve its architectural integrity while seamlessly incorporating contemporary luxuries. Inside, hand-hewn beamed ceilings, multiple fireplaces, original brick pavers, intricate tile murals, and beautifully refinished oak wood floors showcase the craftsmanship of a bygone era. A picturesque courtyard entry with an outdoor fireplace sets the tone for the home's timeless charm, leading to a space designed for both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining. Beyond the courtyard, a stunning pool - rumored to be the first in Tucson - adds to the estate's storied past. Every detail has been curated to enhance the home's character. A completely reimagined kitchen features custom cabinetry and premium appliances, while updated lighting and window treatments complement the home's timeless appeal. Arched doorways, original doors, and period hardware further elevate its distinct charm.
Designed for both luxurious living and effortless entertaining, the main residence offers three bedrooms, one conveniently located downstairs and two upstairs, along with a detached one-bedroom casita and a separate one-bedroom, one-bathroom studio. This expansive compound provides unparalleled flexibility for guests, work, or creative spaces.
Set within one of Tucson's most sought-after historic neighborhoods, this estate is a true masterpiece of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of Tucson's rich history in an unrivaled setting.
