Tucked away on a peaceful cul-de-sac off Mountain Ave, this updated brick ranch blends contemporary living with sustainable design. The open-concept layout connects the kitchen, dining, and living spaces, perfect for both relaxed living & entertaining. The main bedroom is a true retreat, featuring vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and a rammed earth accent wall. Direct access to the outdoor patio, offering serene sunset views. New skylights brighten the home, and the recently upgraded flooring brings a fresh, polished feel. The detached garage / workspace offers endless possibilities for hobbies, storage, or future conversion into a guest suite or income-producing ADU. The home is also equipped with forward-thinking, eco-friendly systems: a rainwater harvesting setup with two cisterns, as well as owned solar panels, ensuring sustainability. Set on a sprawling 10,000+ SF R2 lot, there's plenty of space for outdoor living, whether you envision gardens, a plunge pool, or hosting friends and family over for outdoor dining on the patio. Just off the Mountain Ave bike path, it is just a quick ride away from the University of Arizona and Tucson's extensive bike paths. If you're looking for a harmonious blend of modern updates, sustainability, and tranquil living, this desert gem is not to be missed!

Mid-Century charm meets stylish modern. This red brick home has all the charm you would expect with its flag stone fireplace, coved ceilings, and original tile on the baths counter top and shower enclosure as well as the solid wood kitchen cabinets. The dramatically modern and stylish master suite addition will blow you away with the soaring vaulted ceiling, rammed earth wall, and tile work in the bath. Add all this to the nearly quarter acre lot on a cul-de-sac street and detached masonry garage and you have a prize of a home. Fantastic location 1/2 block off the Mountain Blvd corridor with easy access to the U of A.
