About this property
Are you ready for some serious “Mad Men” vibes? Located in
the Sam Hughes neighborhood, Villa Catalina is the only mid-century modern 55+ community
listed in the Tucson National Historic Registry and offers a living experience
that you simply can’t find elsewhere in Tucson.
This upper level unit has two convenient entry points—an
interior entry that opens into the living space (and offers a stairlift for
accessibility) and an exterior steel staircase that leads directly into the
kitchen. Featuring two bedrooms and two baths, this 1409 square foot condo
still has many of its original elements, affording the new owners the option to
keep a vintage look or remodel into a more “today” aesthetic.
The large, open living space with a balcony offers expansive
windows to the front and side showcasing the hustle and bustle of the street
below against the backdrop of the Catalina Mountains. Flooded with natural light, this room has many
options for furniture arrangement and a built-in display cabinet with accent
lighting.
The efficient kitchen is darling and features a clever
flip-up table that’s perfect for a quick meal or extra workspace. Maintaining
its MCM look but balanced with modern conveniences, the kitchen offers a vibrant
aqua blue tile backsplash, a matching vintage oven, dishwasher, microwave, modern
electric cooktop, fridge and white quartz counters.
The large primary bedroom is at the rear of the unit,
offering its own full bath, private balcony and a wall length pass-thru closet.
This room’s balcony offers new owners a wonderful spot for pleasurable birdsong
filled mornings and overlooks a canopy of mature citrus trees.
A generously sized second bedroom has built-in shelving and
storage, making an ideal study or guest room. This bedroom is serviced by a
hall bath that still has its “Mamie Pink” shower, counter and backsplash tiles
as well as the original cabinetry with an apron sink. No need for the
laundromat—there is a "grandfathered in" laundry closet with a
stackable washer/dryer in the unit.
The lush common areas are beautifully maintained, boasting
mature trees and other plantings. This complex also features two pools,
shuffleboard courts and a putting green. Your new home also includes one car
space in a shared garage.
Centrally located, close to shopping/dining and just moments
from the University of Arizona, Banner Medical Center and El Con Shopping Center,
this condo is also under ten minutes by car to the iconic Tucson Botanical
Gardens and Reid Park Zoo.
