Property Description

Midcentury masonry split-level in Tucson's historic Menlo Park offering space, character, and a walkable lifestyle. Just minutes from Mercado San Agustin, MSA Annex, the Streetcar, The Loop, and Downtown, this location keeps you close to it all. Inside, updated finishes meet timeless design with two wood-burning fireplaces, a brick fireplace on the main level and a stone fireplace anchoring the spacious lower level. The flexible layout offers room to live, work, or gather. Out back, enjoy a large yard with views of Tumamoc Hill and Sentinel Peak, plus alley access via rolling gate on an R-2 lot. Located in the Menlo Park Historic District with potential property tax savings for owner-occupants. Beyond the core features, this home stands out for how it lives day-to-day. The split-level design creates natural separation of space, making it easy to spread out while still feeling connected. The main level offers a comfortable gathering area centered around the brick fireplace, while the lower level becomes a more relaxed retreat with its stone fireplace and generous footprint--ideal for a second living area, workspace, or creative use. The location ties everything together. Start your morning with a walk up Tumamoc Hill, catch the sunset from Sentinel Peak, or hop on The Loop for a ride across the city. Grab coffee or a bite at Mercado San Agustin or explore the shops and energy of MSA Annex, all just minutes away. Otherwise hop on the streetcar to destinations in and around Downtown Tucson, 4th Avenue, University of Arizona, and finally ending at University Medical Center. With a bike score of 91 and a location that blends historic character with modern convenience, this home offers a lifestyle that's both connected and flexible in one of Tucson's most established neighborhoods.
