About this property
Central 1940s Bungalow Gem Mins to Downtown & UofA
Located within central Tucson is Casa Cariño, a stylish 1940s bungalow filled with character, charm, and all of life’s little luxuries.
The home features comfortable, modern living with an inviting lounge, a fully equipped kitchen, 2 sun-filled bedrooms, and an outdoor oasis with alfresco dining, a BBQ, a chiminea fire pit, and a gazebo that lights up at night.
Stay only mins from Downtown, the Zoo, UofA, and Reid Park, or walk to restaurants, cafes, and markets all right on your doorstep!
Make your way past the cacti gardens, through the bright teal door, and into this modern, inviting adobe bungalow with everything you could need for a relaxing stay right in the heart of it all!
The living space invites you to gather on the plush lounge chairs to play board games or stream all your favorite music and movies on the 50” TV equipped with a Roku StreamBar to keep everyone entertained.
Move into the modern kitchen, fully equipped with everything you need for a meal in. You’ll have access to quality cookware, dinnerware, appliances, and a fully stocked coffee bar loaded with a drip coffee pot, a Keurig, an iced tea maker, and even a French press to start your day just how you like it.
Enjoy meals together in the dining room with a table set for four, or if you don’t feel like cooking, walk just minutes to cafes, coffee shops, and restaurants with everything from a Sushi Bar to BBQ to fine dining or a quick coffee stop.
When it comes time to rest, you’ll have two beautiful bedrooms to choose from that offer the ultimate cloud-like comfort.
The sunny front bedroom features a queen-sized sleep number bed and large closet, while the master is filled with a luxuriously large, memory foam king-size bed with a Smart TV on the dresser and plenty of closet space to store all your luggage.
The two bedrooms share the central sparkling bathroom stocked with all the essentials for your stay and feature a tub/shower combo with an extra tall shower head and an elongated ADA height toilet equipped with a bidet.
Outside, guests can soak up Tucson’s endless sunshine in the large, fully enclosed backyard oasis. Here you can let your pets roam free as you relax under the shady gazebo on the outdoor lounge, grill, and eat alfresco style under the trees.
In the evening, sink into the Adirondack chairs surrounding the warm chiminea fire pit and relax while stargazing into the night sky.
If you are looking for the perfect place to call home less than 10 minutes from the Zoo, beautiful Parks, the University of Arizona, and all the fun of Downtown, look no further than this modern, comfortable, and inviting home for your next getaway.
We can’t wait to welcome you!
