Set back from Fort Lowell Road with beautiful Catalina Mountain views, this 2 bedroom, 1 bath home offers approximately 1,409 square feet filled with architectural charm and thoughtful modern updates.

The updated kitchen blends beautifully with the character of the home and features upgraded appliances and modern conveniences, while the inviting living spaces retain the warmth and - and individuality rarely found in newer construction. Outside, enjoy a private setting surrounded by the natural beauty and timeless atmosphere of one of Tucson's most unique neighborhoods.

Enjoy convenient access to Tucson Medical Center, the Rillito River and The Loop, Tucson Botanical Gardens, neighborhood trails, grocery stores, shopping, dining and Plaza Palomino. Old Fort Lowell is known for its adobe architecture, mature desert landscape, mountain views and remarkable sense of place, giving you the feeling of being tucked away in historic Tucson while remaining minutes from everyday conveniences. With no HOA and a central location, this is more than a home. It is an opportunity to enjoy the architecture, lifestyle and unmistakable character that make Tucson special.
Old Fort Lowell, located between East Fort Lowell Road and North Country Club Road, is a historic and residential Tucson neighborhood with adobe-era roots and leafy, irrigated streetscapes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Fort Lowell Park, where ballfields, shaded paths, and the preserved Fort Lowell Museum grounds set a calm, outdoors-forward rhythm. Low-slung ranch homes and Sonoran-style courtyards sit alongside remnants of the old military post and early settlement patterns. La Encantada’s open-air promenades add a polished retail-and-dining counterpoint nearby. Trail links and pocket parks keep daily routines oriented to walking and cycling. The result is a place where desert light, heritage sites, and green corridors share the same frame.
