Expansive walls of windows frame serene views of the private, walled backyard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. A two-car carport adds convenience, and as a contributing property on the National Historic Register, owner-occupants can benefit from a 35-45% tax credit reduction. Ideally located within walking distance walking distance, of the University of Arizona, Himmel Park, and a variety of dining options, this home is an exceptional opportunity to restore and revitalize a true architectural classic.
