‘Garden House’ - Beautiful Mid-Century Home

Welcome to your spacious, modern, and carefully furnished 1950's ranch-style home in central Tucson's Garden District. A lush garden with three patio spaces, a chiminea and Weber barbecue are designed so you can get the most of Tucson's sunshine in the winter months. Within 2 min drive of Trader Joe's, the Rillito River Park pathway system, and 10 minutes from the University of Arizona campus. Owners (Michael and Rosanna) are artists and plant lovers that celebrate the culture of the southwest.

This home houses the studio of professional landscape artist Rosanna Marmont and displays a significant collection of her Tucson inspired paintings.

At 1500SF, it has ample room to spread out and make use of the numerous garden patios, a living room and a reading room. Natural lighting and large windows throughout. Bedrooms are private and quiet for your respite.

**All bedsheets are good quality linen (no synthetics) with down comforters and pillows. Wifi and Hulu, Disney Plus and ESPN+ included.

A pond and fountain encourage an urban bird paradise, with the sound of birdsong and tumbling water filtering throughout the property. The three burner Weber grill tapped into the natural gas is a perfect amenity for hosting casual gatherings or dappling in some traditional Mexican style cuisine. The kitchen is fully stocked for all your needs, including good strong coffee.

Empty closets throughout allow guests to stay comfortably and make this home their own.

Desert oasis

We enjoyed living with Rosanna‘s artwork in this comfortable, well stocked home. Each morning we woke up to birds singing. Lounging in the shaded garden on the hammock and comfortable outdoor furniture was the best! This is the best place we’ve stayed in Tucson so far while visiting our daughter at the U of A.

I can’t say enough about this fantastic house!

We stay in this centrally located home every time we visit Tucson to see our relatives, and it’s always a wonderful experience. The location is fantastic, and the house is truly special, with original art thoughtfully placed in every room. The backyard is a serene oasis, complete with a lush garden feel, a gas grill, seating in two distinct areas, and even a calming water garden.Rosanna, the host, has thought of everything. The kitchen, living room, bathrooms, and bedrooms are all fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. Her attention to detail makes every stay effortless and enjoyable.
