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... Here are the specifics: 1500 square feet

    "this is a quiet neighborhood pretty chill not to many kids my kids are the only ones on the block but the school is close"
  • Trulia User
    "My commute to the downtown area is relatively quick and easy. Campus Farm is in a central-north location that puts most places in Tucson within a 10-30 minute drive. I like it."
  • Trulia User
    "Many people in this neighborhood own dogs - at least, there are a lot of people walking their dogs. The Loop is 1/2 mile away, and I think in the riverbed itself you can let your off leash (if you feel safe doing so - I’m not sure I would, due to the possibility of rattlesnakes or coyotes)."
  • Trulia User
    "Having the U of Arizona farm right across the street from me, with sheep, cows, and horses grazing is a continual delight and connection to the natural world. The view of the Santa Catalina mountains from this perspective is spectacular."
  • Zepster80
    "not too crazy of traffic and close to bike trails and other areas more appropriate for walking dogs.. most people keep to themselves but are kind"
  • Neetz H.
    "There are many dog owners and the area is nice for walks. It would be nice if there were bag stands around for folks to collect their dog feces if it's needed. "
  • Wminger2224
    "I have a car to commute. There are also many ways to commute here. we have public buses, taxi, Uber, Lyft, and the number of Vans and buses for medical transport. you can get anywhere you want to go here"
  • Wminger2224
    "bus transportation is close by. also you can call Uber or Lyft or a cab. I don't use any of those because I have a car and drive everywhere I need to go."
  • Wminger2224
    "I'm not a dog owner but I do live with a dog park right in my front yard and it's pretty obvious they would like it because nobody picks up after their dogs. Well there are some Good Samaritans with dogs that pick up after other dogs but most of them do not and I am bothered by flies constantly!"
  • Wminger2224
    "I would hate to raise kids here. cars get broken into, the homeless are always here in the dumpsters and I would never leave kids unattended outside if they were mine."
  • Wminger2224
    "I've lived in this neighborhood about two and a half years. I'm only friends with about three people here in that short time I've had my car broken into and two other incidents happen concerning the police. I would not go walking around outside of my complex after Dark by no means. 100% this is not a safe neighborhood."
  • Wminger2224
    "I would not walk anywhere alone after Dark. this is not a safe neighborhood oh, there are always sirens from the police to the ambulances."
  • Desiree G.
    "its old and run down. theres a bad cockroach problem at the local park. and the parks equipment are so unsafe and old it should be illegal "
