Located in one of Tucson's oldest neighborhoods, this historic turn-of-the-century building with plenty of old-world charm, is home to this removated downtown vacation apartment.
The 750 sq.ft. furnished rental offers something enchanting, private, and relaxing for yourself and your companion. The fun and warmth of its five rooms come from an eclectic mix of Southwest, Mission, Old West, and Mexican decor, reflecting the contrasting cultures that have blended in Tucson. Each room is designed to be a unique environment, and the tall windows, transoms, crown moldings, ceiling fans, hardwood floors, and 10-ft.ceilings make each space authentically inviting and comfortable. It's a perfect retreat for business visitors, couples on vacation, and parents visiting students.
The neighborhood is equally splendid. Armory Park began as a military plaza in downtown Tucson, but when the Transcontinental RailRoad reached Tucson in 1920, the area transformed into a residential area inhabited by prominent RailRoad executives, affluent entrepreneurs, & working-class people. The neighborhood became a mix of Victorian, Tudor, Queen Anne, Spanish Colonial, Mission, & bungalow-style structures.
This historical building, built in 1903, is located just blocks from the Tucson Community Center, downtown businesses & government buildings, the railroad station, the hub for Tucson's bus system, and three culturally-rich historic neighboring districts filled with homes, museums, live theatre, shops, restaurants and churches. It is minutes away from the 4th Avenue Arts District, University of AZ Main Campus, Pima Community College, Z Mansion, the Stillwell House, & University Medical Center.
You will find it to be a perfect downtown location for work or play.
This rental is offered in compliance with section 3604(c) of the Federal Fair Housing Act (visit HUD.gov), which prohibits a discriminatory preference for a rental based on Race or color, National origin, Religion, Sex, Familial Status, or Handicap/Disability.

Renovations were designed for modern comfort only (air conditioning, etc., as care was taken to preserve the old-world charm that makes the property unique.
