This historic mid-century home, located in the coveted El Montevideo Estates neighborhood, offers a unique blend of original charm and modern updates. Built in 1945 on a double lot, this Sonoran Revival residence features classic details like exposed wood beam ceilings, polished concrete floors, and original glass doors separating the living and family rooms. The home's thoughtful split floorplan includes three spacious bedrooms and three full bathrooms, providing ample privacy and comfort. The kitchen has a cozy breakfast nook with built-in seating, a butler's pantry with additional storage, and modern appliances including a 2024 Energy Star refrigerator and a 2022 gas range. The first primary suite, bathed in natural light, includes an antique bookshelf for extra storage and a bathroom with a deep soaking tub and hand-made wood vanity. The second primary suite offers a walk-in shower, Spanish double bowl sinks, and authentic wood cabinetry. Sliding glass doors lead to a private covered patio with access to the rear yard through a gated courtyard. The third bedroom includes built-in dressers and two closets, as well as its own private bathroom. The living room features a wood-burning fireplace, creating a cozy gathering space, while the family room's expansive wall of windows brings in abundant light. All bedrooms are equipped with wood shutters, adding to the home's timeless appeal. A laundry room and storage area provide easy access to the backyard, which is perfect for outdoor living, with a putting green, native plants, and plenty of room for a pool. The property also includes a 2200-gallon cistern for rainwater harvesting, smart Ecobee thermostats, and a sediment water filtration system. The exterior of the home reflects its rich history, with mud and burnt adobe construction, an original ceramic tile-decorated entry surround, and a circular driveway. Recent updates include a new roof in January 2025, exterior paint in 2022, and upgraded HVAC and water heater systems. There's space for an RV or trailer on the east side of the property, and the carport is equipped with an electric vehicle charging station. The backyard features a slab poured for a future shed or BBQ area, offering endless possibilities. Located in a National Historic District, this home benefits from the Historic Tax Credit, which expires in March 2034. El Montevideo Estates, a neighborhood developed around the historic El Conquistador Hotel and nearby Randolph Park, offers a rare opportunity to live in a piece of Tucson's history.
