Mid-Century Modern in Mid-Central Tucson


Villa Catalina Apartments is one of Tucson's most beloved examples of Mid-Century Modern architecture. Located in the tranquil center of the highly desirable Sam Hughes neighborhood, you're close to groceries and casual dining at Rincon Market. Watch ballgames and meet the neighbors at Bob Dobb's. Enjoy upscale vegetarian Mexican cuisine at Tumerico. Get to the movies at El Con Mall in minutes. Have a Zen-like tea experience at Seven Cups Fine Chinese Teas and for something completely different, dine at Tucson's first Ethiopian restaurant, Zeman's. 
This second floor condo is in one of the best locations in this lovely complex, which is in the National Register of Historic Places because of its architectural significance. A lift chair is available in an interior stairwell if you need a little help.  
Huge windows create a sunny living room. Perched on your spacious north-facing covered front balcony above the beautifully manicured landscaping, you'll enjoy a stunning view of the Catalina Mountains. 
The interior is recently spruced up, preserving the original '50s character. You'll be one of the few owners with two garage spaces, which you can see from your enormous covered back balcony. 
HOA fee covers property tax, utilities, heat, AC, trash pick up, two pools, one of them heated, laundry room, pest control, exterior maintenance, most plumbing and electrical, and beautiful Mediterranean-style landscaping with grass and oranges trees. Age restricted community: owner must be at least 55 years old. 
Two bedrooms and two baths. The floor plan is here. Offered at $160,000.
