About this House
Historic Luxury Estate in Sam Hughes | Private Pool +Spa + Guest House + Unmatched Location
Historic Luxury 1924 Arts & Crafts bungalow in the heart of Sam Hughes with private pool & spa, located on the most desirable stretch of 3rd Street where Tucson's iconic street lamps begin. Walking distance to the University of Arizona and formerly owned by Steve Kerr, this is a rare opportunity to lease a truly distinguished home in one of Tucson's most prestigious neighborhoods.
Welcome to a residence that blends historic character, architectural beauty, and elevated modern living. Set directly across from the University President's residence and within the patrol area of the University police, the home offers a uniquely secure and refined setting just minutes from campus, Banner, and downtown.
Thoughtfully preserved and beautifully updated, the 1,763 sq ft main home showcases timeless craftsmanship and warm, inviting spaces throughout.
Original maple hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and detailed crown moldings create an elegant living and dining experience, anchored by a statement fireplace and filled with natural light from large picture windows. The kitchen features newer appliances and opens seamlessly to a spacious family room with vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lush backyard.
A private balcony offers scenic, tree-lined views, enhancing the sense of retreat and privacy.
