Property Description
Rich in historic charm, this vintage 1920 bungalow features warm and welcoming living areas, making it a wonderful place to call home or an excellent rental property. In the heart of the desirable West University neighborhood, it is ideally located near Tucson High School, the University of Arizona, the shops along 4th Avenue, downtown Tucson, and Time Market on University Boulevard. With 984 sq. ft., three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a large unfinished basement, this charming home has benefited from numerous upgrades and improvements over the years. In 2012, the property underwent extensive renovations including installation of a new gas-fired central air conditioning system (recently serviced in March 2026), a new asphalt shingle roof, and all-new plumbing from the street to the home, including both waste and water supply lines. Electrical improvements included updated electrical service and additional outlets. Beautiful Italian ceramic tile was installed on the front and back porches and along the south-side walkway. Additional recent improvements include a new refrigerator, basement upgrades with new retaining walls and support beams, new electrical wiring throughout the home, a new water heater installed within the past two years, a Talavera tile kitchen countertop, and a new vanity in the first bathroom. The original wood floors have been refinished throughout, and a new gas line has been installed to serve all gas appliances. This wonderfully charming home truly must be seen to be appreciated. As one experienced Realtor thought recently while sitting in the living room "I could live in this darling home!"
