2 Bedroom House in Dunbar Spring, Tucson

There is a reason this house is loved by so many guests! This vintage home retains much of the original charm from when it was first built in 1916, but with just the right amount of modern updates to enjoy. Located in the Dunbar Spring Neighborhood, one of Tucson's first neighborhoods, adjacent to downtown and just 2 miles from University of Arizona, this 950 square foot home has one bedroom with a king-size deluxe bed for maximum comfort, a second bedroom with a queen bed and a pullout couch in the living room. It is decorated with a mix of antiques and modern pieces and contains quite a bit of art from latin and local artists. Heating, cooling and hot water tank are all new and energy efficient. Carport accommodates 2 cars and the driveway could readily house an RV. The kitchen has a full size gas range/oven and refrigerator and freezer. The kitchen is completely outfitted with everything you would need to cook/ bake at home, complete with pots, pans, bakeware, dish ware, toaster, blender, indoor grill, coffee maker, french press, expresso maker, a full array of herbs and spices.

There are 2 flatscreen TV's, one in the living room, one in the main bedroom, which also has a DVD player. The kitchen has a glass table with four chairs and outside on the covered, private patio, is another table and 4 chairs for outdoor dining.
The outdoor area is gated, private and ample filled with lovely exotic plants and the best part? The salt water spa pool with jets!
But the back yard!!!! This is one of the biggest highlights of our home! With the outdoor dining on the covered porch, the cozy outdoor fireplace with seating, they sound of the wind chimes, the bistro area, the safe and gated salt water spa/pool with outdoor seating, this is a place to recharge as a single traveler, enjoy romantically as couple, have a blast as a family, or host a party or gathering with friends (the former owners told us once there was a party out there that housed 150 people!). There is a lovely cactus garden, outdoor bar, outdoor mini 'fridge, grill and twinkling outdoor lighting to enjoy your evenings!
Location:
Take the Sun link streetcar downtown to one of the many restaurants in the area, shops and art galleries. Just minutes to super fun 4th avenue and University of Arizona. Hiking spots are as close as 15-20 minutes away!

Summary: My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend getaway. We were most excited for the private backyard and pool, and were disappointed to learn when we arrived that the “relaxing backyard fountain” was broken and the pool did not have functional jets- two things included in the listing description. The house is also a block from train tracks and it loudly passes by multiple times a day. The home had not been professionally cleaned when we arrived (the microwave had food splattered in it) and I had to ask the host for check in information the day of. I sent my concerns to the host and received radio silence. I’d look elsewhere.
