Property Description
Welcome to a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully redesigned mid-century modern residence by renowned Tucson architectural designer Tom Gist. This distinctive desert home showcases master craftsmanship and timeless design, set on a spacious 0.31-acre corner lot. The 4-bedroom, 2-bath residence highlights Gist's signature elements, including burnt adobe construction with natural grout, expansive windows that bring the outdoors in, clean lines, and warm finishes. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its architectural integrity, the home offers a bright, open layout with seamless flow between living spaces. Original brick floors in the kitchen and family room enhance its authentic mid-century appeal, while abundant natural light creates an inviting atmosphere. The private backyard retreat features mature desert landscaping, vibrant flora, a sparkling pool, and an above-ground hot tub, all framed by Catalina Mountain views. A circular driveway and generous lot size provide added functionality and curb appeal, with ample space for relaxing or entertaining. Ideally located in a central Tucson neighborhood with convenient access to dining, shopping, and downtown amenities, this home blends architectural significance with everyday livability. Available fully furnished. NO HOA. A true mid-century modern gem offering character, craftsmanship, and enduring design.
