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 is a full size washer and dryer. The bathroom has an oversize shower with 3 shower heads. 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: We loved the location of this old vintage home. The home has a lot of character. One of the main reasons we booked this house was the outdoor spaces. It’s too bad that the owner chooses to not keep the outdoor space looking nice! Weeds all over the backyard, the back patio and front porch did not look like they had been cleaned in months. Several things looked worn out and old (cushions and rug on the back porch and the front porch railing and trim were starting to fall apart.) Loved the pool/hot tub but it was only cleaned once while we were there and we stayed for a month. Liked the carport but the bird droppings were GROSS! Doesn’t appear to have been cleaned in quite a while. Several people say the place was well stocked but we disagree. Had to ask for containers for food and not much in the way of cups, dishes and silverware. Had to run the dishwasher constantly. We also had very little laundry detergent and coffee. You would have thought they would have checked this stuff before we got there as we were staying for a month.We got the feeling the owner is just in it to make a buck and not interested in keeping up the house. The pictures are old. However, Melissa, I believe she is the daughter in law, was GREAT! She was very responsive to all the issues that occurred while we were there.
