Like a Mountain Cabin in the City

I have meticulously maintained and extensively upgraded this delightful home over the past 25 years. High beamed ceilings give the feeling of a sweet little mountain cabin. The floorplan is here

Adorable kitchen remodeled in 2016 with new cabinets, plumbing and electrical, gas stove and microwave. 

Two bedrooms and one bathroom, and oh what a bathroom! Fabulous hand-painted talavera tile on the shower walls. 

Ceramic tile has Saltillo character. Ceiling fans and lights. 14 SEER AC/gas furnace new in 2016. Freshly painted. Recent roof repairs. Two inches of rigid insulation in roof. You won't often find that in an open-beamed ceiling, but it really improved the energy efficiency. 


Grey water from washer has created two big beautiful mesquites in the fully fenced back yard. 

12' by 26' shed. Alley access for parking west of shed, and double gates for vehicle access to east of shed. Fully-enclosed 7,500 SF yard w/ wide gate to alley. The home is a contributing structure in the Jefferson Park Historic District. Significant tax reduction available for owner-occupant. See www.JeffersonPark.info.

Surrounded by more expensive homes and located less than a mile to Banner UMC and University of Arizona on Mountain Ave bike path. Most recently it rented for $1,100 per month. I have owned this wonderful house since 1995, and have spent 25 years making in perfect. Now it's time to let it go. 

Sold for $265,000 September 7, 2021. The new owner is an investor who plans to build an addition, and possibly remove the 30 foot tall mesquite that I planted. I hope they don't remove all the colored tile and cabinets, but their renovations tend to be grey, white and modern. Good bye sweet little house. You are very dear to me.
