Garden House - Lovingly Restored 1950's Home

Welcome to your spacious, modern, and carefully furnished 1950's ranch-style home in central Tucson's Garden District. A lush garden with three patio spaces, a chiminea and Weber barbecue are designed so you can get the most of Tucson's sunshine in the winter months. Within 2 min drive of Trader Joe's, the Rillito River Park pathway system, and 10 minutes from the University of Arizona campus. Owners (Michael and Rosanna) are artists and plant lovers that celebrate the culture of the southwest.

This home houses the studio of professional landscape artist Rosanna Marmont and displays a significant collection of her Tucson inspired paintings.

At 1500SF, it has ample room to spread out and make use of the numerous garden patios, a living room and a reading room. Natural lighting and large windows throughout. Bedrooms are private and quiet for your respite.

**All bedsheets are good quality linen (no synthetics) with down comforters and pillows. Wifi and Hulu, Disney Plus and ESPN+ included.

A pond and fountain encourage an urban bird paradise, with the sound of birdsong and tumbling water filtering throughout the property. The three burner Weber grill tapped into the natural gas is a perfect amenity for hosting casual gatherings or dappling in some traditional Mexican style cuisine. The kitchen is fully stocked for all your needs, including good strong coffee.

Empty closets throughout allow guests to stay comfortably and make this home their own.

Backyard Haven in the City
This place was EXCEPTIONALLY clean! We loved getting sun in the backyard with birds, a fountain and some rabbit visitors. The side yard has a nice sitting area, as well. All of the plants and cacti, both indoors and out, are lovely. The artwork in the home is intriguing—I especially loved the paintings on wood. The location is central to many good places to eat, drink and shop. Therefore, it is one block away from a busy street with traffic sounds.

Perfect House for our Holiday Getaway
We spent the week between Christmas and New Year's at this wonderful home in Tucson. My husband did a lot of work in Tucson, but all our previous visits were staying at resorts (using hotel points). We were a party of 4 - parents, teenager, and one grandmother. The house was perfect for our casual adventuring and sightseeing. We were pretty central to downtown, hiking, and most importantly, "The Loop" for cycling. Favorite features of this home: - Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. We often had leftovers from take-out and loved being able to spread out at the large dining table, too. - Lovely garden (front and back yard) - it felt like we were lounging in our own personal botanical garden. - The living room had a big lounging couch plus a second couch - rarely do rental homes have enough chairs or space for real lounging to watch TV and movies! - The owner's art around the house is really wonderful. Most rental houses we find have zero soul or have zero decoration - this was a special bonus. - We had so much fun watching movies at night using the projector, feeling like we had our own movie theater. It took us a bit to figure out the setup. Bonus tip: make sure the Chromecast is plugged into the AV system. Then, change the input on the AV (manual dial), and use your phone to cast whatever you want from your phone/tablet using your own streaming apps. I'd love to come back and stay and bring my cycling friends now!

Enjoyed the houses different outdoor areas. Everything inside was as presented and immaculate. I would have preferred something closer to downtown/Uof A, but quality of property compensated
