This home is ecologically designed to harvest rain water, retrofitted with non-toxic materials and utilizes energy-saving features essential for healthy & comfortable Sonoran Desert dwelling: A 3,000 gallon rainwater harvesting tank, gray-water and storm-water harvest thousands of gallons/year to water the many trees creating a lush oasis in the desert - keeping you shady and cool in the summer - all while conserving water! The Arroyo Chico Wash in the back is a riparian corridor that attracts birds and other wildlife. The house's electric meter has NO RADIO and does not emit potentially harmful radiation. Double-pane, "Energy Star" windows are installed throughout, oriented with passive solar heating and cooling in mind. The home is tiled throughout with large format tile. The kitchen was recently updated with a granite counter top. The house is equipped with an efficient "single-entry" MasterCool evaporative cooler and Energy Star gas furnace. Zone-cooling is provided in all bedrooms and the living room, via wall-mounted A/C units, for maximum control and efficiency, as well as ceiling fans in every room to improve ventilation. The "attic" crawl space has been generously insulated to R60! And the roof was installed with RadientBarrier foil underneath the shingles, to better reflect solar radiation. Three mature grapefruit trees in the front yard are laden with fruit and provide abundant shade, perfect for a patio set and hammock. The neighborhood park was recently updated, just down the street. Lot's of grass, pine trees and playground equipment for children and dog-walkers. Conveniently, the neighborhood gets very little "cut-through" traffic due to the layout of its streets. Therefore speeding is kept to a minimum and its safe for children to play outside. Overall, home is centrally located in a safe neighborhood in midtown Tucson, convenient to downtown and shopping, dining, hospitals, etc. This is your private home and landlord lives offsite, however, we do have access to a storage garage at back of property. This is the ideal home for a small growing family that appreciates conserving water and energy, gardens and composts their kitchen scraps, enjoys bird watching, climbs trees, eats grapefruit (and shares with the landlord :-) and is excited to live in harmony with nature! Renter pays all utilities. Pets extra. You may use Zillow's credit/background criminal history service, however we meet all prospective tenants in-person for approval.
