$1,279,000
Set on a premium corner lot in the Historic Sam Hughes neighborhood, this Santa Barbara-style Spanish bungalow blends authentic architectural character and exceptional outdoor living. Hardwood floors, traditional period sensitive finishes, and custom details honor the home's original style while creating a cohesive, comfortable compound.
The main house offers three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms, with custom baseboards, built-ins, and carefully selected updates completed when the home was comprehensively renovated by the current owners. Plumbing and electrical systems were updated in 2010, and a new HVAC system in 2026 adds another layer of modern comfort.
A separate studio casita expands the living space and features an efficient kitchenette, three-quarter bathroom, and walk-in closet, and is well suited for a private workspace, or extended guest stays.
Completely walled, the grounds unfold through an entry courtyard, numerous covered patios, an outdoor fireplace, and generous paved and turf areas for relaxing or entertaining. Mature citrus trees and robust native plantings bring shade, texture, and established desert ambience to the setting.
With its distinctive architecture, separate casita, and inviting outdoor spaces, this property enjoys an especially convenient location within walking distance of Sonora House coffee, Redbird, and the many shops and eateries along the University corridor.
