I grew up in Pennsylvania and was educated on the east coast. I moved to Portland, Oregon over 30 years and raised my family in Portland. I'm still a Portland resident, but bought vacation property in Tucson because the 300 days of sunshine are very attractive after the long, gray Oregon winters.

Syd Berwager purchased this townhome in 2012

This property is in the Catalina Mountain foothills but convenient to urban amenities of Tucson. It is located in a quiet community within walking distance of a plaza that contains shops, exercise facility, restaurants and coffee shops. The town home was recently remodeled to update the kitchen and the baths, and to create a spacious but comfortable feel to the kitchen/living/dining room. This complements the town home's basic qualities that include a good view of the Catalina foothills from a semi-private patio, a large 2-car garage, and 1-minute walk to the community spa, pool and tennis court.

This one-story townhome itself has great features, is close to many outdoor recreation activities, and very convenient to shops and restaurants.
