Stunning Historic Oasis in Barrio Viejo

One of only two units in a historic adobe property on S Meyer Ave in Barrio Viejo, this property is unique. Entry is through its private garden, a lush oasis rarely seen in Tucson, which provides wonderful entertaining possibilities, as well as a quiet spot for a cup of coffee or glass of wine. The propane firepit can be the focus on chillier winter evenings.

Step inside, and you enter a central air-conditioned space with open plan kitchen and living space, its rolling adobe walls contrasting with the sleek minimalist white kitchen. Here you will find very generous cabinet storage, white quartz countertop and KitchenAid appliances. The cooktop is induction for the best of both worlds. The large peninsula will comfortably seat four for dining. The living room area has built-in bookshelves for more storage or display. Lighting is very comprehensive with dimmers on virtually all switches for the adjustable recessed ceiling lights, accent lights and whimsical peninsular chandelier.

The adobe-walled bedroom is next, again with built-in shelving and custom lighting. A curtain can be drawn over the wide doorway for privacy from the living area. Finally, from the bedroom you enter the stunning bathroom with double Duravit washbasins, each with its own recessed, mirrored medicine cabinet. The Toto toilet is dual-flush and wall-mounted. The shower, with its Graff fixtures and rainhead, is surrounded by glass. A wall of curtains hides a custom Elfa closet system on one side and a stacked LG front-load washer/dryer and additional shelves and storage space on the other side.

This is a rare opportunity to live in a piece of history yet with the best of modern conveniences. Add to that the charm of Barrio Viejo and proximity to Downtown and neighborhood restaurants and bars such as The Coronet, EXO/Crisol, Forbes Meat Company, Casa Madre, Five Points Market, Café Desta and Ugly but Honest Pizzeria. Finally, you can be on the I-10 in just a few minutes. Don’t miss it!
