Property Description
Designed by architect John Donatelli in 1963 for Edward and Kenyon Spaulding, this exceptional midcentury modern home pairs a clear modernist sensibility with materials rooted in the Sonoran Desert. Expansive windows fill the living and dining rooms with natural light, while flagstone patios extend the house into its garden setting and can be accessed from nearly every room. Thoughtfully renovated while retaining its architectural character, the property was selected for the 2023 Tucson Modernism Week home tour as a notable example of regional modern design The home includes four bedrooms, two of which share a flexible bonus room with walls of glass, patio access, a built-in desk + a hidden closet tucked behind the bookcase. The fourth bedroom offers room for a home office, studio or den. Set on a private .36-acre corner lot, the home offers multiple outdoor living areas, mature landscaping and a terrace with a built-in bar for gathering and entertaining. Quietly tucked away near Broadway and Wilmot, this is a rare opportunity to become the next steward of a significant Tucson home.
