Description
This is probably one of the most unusual rental houses in Tucson. It was originally built in 1950, and retains many of it's period features. The kitchen is a classic Maple cabinet set from the early sixties, complete with copper-plated boomerang handles and a vintage O'Keefe and Meritt gas stove. Both bathrooms were done in about 1958, and have period formica countertops and tile. The living room has hardwood flooring, with the remainder of the house finished in polished concrete. All of the doors are original and unpainted. Why is it called the Magic Carpet House? When the Magic Carpet Golf Course closed a few years back, the owner purchased one of their statues and relocated it to the front yard of this house. The front yard is home to the "serpent", which is a big snake-like creature wrapped around a tree. These sculptures were created by Lee Koplin in 1970, and are considered important examples of commercial folk art. The front yard of this house has been featured in the local paper, and it always creates smiles from passerby. This property also has a detached, 625 square foot two car garage, complete with a swamp cooler (house has central AC). There are three additional covered parking spaces, making this ideal for a car collector or hobbyist. The house has two walk- in closets, one of which features it's own window and door. The owner and former occupant restores classic cars as a hobby, and collects vintage clothing, so he created this house for the enjoyment of both pursuits. It's definitely not for everyone, but if you're still reading this, it might be perfect for you! The dining room has a set of vintage French doors, which lead to a large, covered rear patio. The covered space transitions to another circular concrete patio, with plenty of room for parties and outdoor play. Speaking of play, there is a HO scale train track that runs around the perimeter of one of the bedrooms. It can also be used as a shelf if trains aren't your thing...
