Welcome to The Warehouse. An incredible opportunity to own a very unique piece of real estate in Southern Arizona, this 1970-built commercial building-turned-single-family residence offers just under 3,300 sq.ft. with six bedrooms & five bathrooms in the desirable, historic Iron Horse Neighborhood. Literally steps from Historic 4th Avenue, the Modern Streetcar, thriving Downtown Tucson, & the University of Arizona, ''location, location, location'' could never do this home justice. Currently used as an Airbnb & all furnishings offered, this home sleeps upwards of 18 guests with various steel-construction lofted sleeping spaces in the bedrooms throughout. This is the perfect opportunity for a fun investment or a really neat single-family residence. The unique facade mimics a single-family home with a wrought iron gated side entry with keypad for convenient, keyless access to the entryway courtyard. Enter from the courtyard through front door into the expansive kitchen & first great room combo, offering a large dining area, unique & gorgeous finished plywood flooring, built-in cabinet storage galore, large island with breakfast bar & concrete countertop, commercial-grade gas range, dishwasher, fridge, & separate wine fridge (one of two). Easy private access with door separation to two of the six bedrooms (one with an en-suite) & a separate guest bathroom. Venture down the short hallway with original exposed hardwood flooring to another guest bathroom & a unique, all-black chalkboard-painted bedroom with separate convenient access to the laundry & storage hub (but we'll get back to that!). There is a separate expansive great room area with private bar & second wine fridge, 18'+ ceilings, large skylights with automatic shades, & loft area above the bar for additional guest enjoyment. There are two TV's here for game day excitement! Double-barn doors are off this great room that allow access to two more bedrooms with, you guessed it, two more lofted spaces for additional sleeping accommodations. Upstairs, there is another bedroom with private access to the rooftop kitchen & floating deck space. Constructed on steel beams, the rooftop deck floats seamlessly over the home & offers more than 1,500 sq.ft. of space to enjoy with panoramic views of the city, Downtown Tucson, The University of Arizona, Tucson High School & the surrounding mountain ranges. Sunsets here are incredible, mark my words. Between the built-in grill & prep sink, outdoor TV, pool table, propane fire pit, multiple built-in seating areas & hot tub, the recreational possibilities here are virtually endless. The private, enclosed utility area offers two sets of washers & dryers with additional built-in storage, with direct access from three of the six bedrooms & the entryway courtyard. Wood-cased crank windows, two newer HVAC systems & two tankless water heaters afford year-round comfort & convenience. Front yard is all concrete parking & can accommodate up to 5 vehicles, & there is additional street parking available with City parking permits. Come take a look, fall in love, & never leave. You truly won't regret it.
