Quaint 1948 adobe gem from the past with Sombrero Peak in your backyard, nestled on 3.3 acres of natural desert on which a custom home can be built. Beamed ceilings and diagonally-set Saltillo tile throughout. The bedroom has 2 closets, one a large walk-in. Central AC as well as central evap. The large covered front porch looks East to the Catalina Mountains. Many original period fixtures, which lend to the charm of this Southwestern home. The location and topography set this property apart. Tucked into the base of Sombrero peak, with nothing visible man-made in between, this property feels as if it is alone with the mountain, which majestically towers over everything in it's view. A spectacle as pristine as it is expansive! At sunrise on the weekend, you'll often see a hot-air balloon hovering above the mountain, at sunset you can see a line of riders on horseback following trails up to the saddle of Sombrero Peak. Truly a nature-lover's paradise! So many possibilities....add on, build new and keep this as a guest casita, or use as an vacation rental.
Romantic mini-hacienda at the base of Sombrero Peak with 360 degree views.This house exemplifies the charisma of the old west.Large shade trees in the wonderful flagstone front courtyard has gardens to attract birds & butterflies.Beamed ceilings,steel sash windows,fans & extensive use of mexican tile add to the ambiance of this charmer.Fenced in yard w/desert grass,more trees,spa & patio.Live in it as is,add on or bld a house & use as gst house.
