This extraordinary estate presents a rare opportunity to own a distinctive multi-residence property in one of Tucson's most desirable historic neighborhoods of Blenman Elm-all within a fully enclosed gated private enclave. Built in 1937, the main residence offers 3 Bd/3 Bth-3008 sq ft of refined living space, highlighted by two fireplaces, a wine cellar & its own detached two-car garage.

Additionally on the property is a 225 sq ft storage room behind one of the detached garages AND a fully enclosed RV storage space, ensuring exceptional functionality rarely found in historic properties.

Outdoor living is equally impressive...Multiple courtyards and patios create intimate gathering spaces throughout the grounds, while a beautifully designed outdoor kitchen anchors a vibrant entertaining area with huge shade structure, mature landscaping, multiple seating spaces, alfresco dining, and an outdoor fireplace--perfect for enjoying Tucson's year-round sunshine.
