Designed by renowned architect Josias Joesler and constructed by the John W Murphey and Leo B Keith Building Company in 1929 (Where Joesler was an employee) this property is like stepping back in time. With original wood floors, unique ornate entry gates and original fixtures the vintage charm is undeniable. Reimagine the struggles and triumphs of living in early Tucson as our country entered The Great Depression the same year this home was built and then emerged stronger than before. Designated as historically significant, the original blueprints for the home were preserved by the University of Arizona Special Collections Department as an important contribution to the Joesler Collection (See original blueprints in listing photos). Although remarkably preserved, the home has been updated with a new HVAC system in 2023 (That is under warranty) for those toasty Arizona summers. The oversized front and rear yards have mature mesquite trees providing cooling natural shade. If desired, a double gate could be installed on the south side of the property to provide parking for trailers or RVs. With no HOA, the home can serve most any purpose from AirBnB to RV parking on property. Located 1 mile east of the University of Arizona stadium and even closer to the rest of the U of A, this property would be perfect for the college sports fan, student, snowbird or entrepreneur looking for a spectacular location with historic charm. On top of all this, a home warranty is included from American Home Shield.
