1937 ‘Tucson Treasure’ Needed Just 6 Days on the Market To Catch a Buyer’s Eye

The charming, historic residence at 2045 E Adams Street met its next owner pretty quickly.

After just six days on the market, the 1,164-square-foot home in Tucson, AZ, is under escrow. The place was listed for $769,000.

Built in 1937 by the man known as Tucson’s “architectural linguist,” the Josias Joesler-designed home is on the National Register of Historic Places.

But it isn’t just the high-end architectural origin that makes this property stand out. The home itself is also a bit of a wonder, with an Old World romanticism that seamlessly blends with its modern upgrades.

With refinished, red-oak floors; all-new amenities; and revitalized landscaping, it’s not surprising the three-bedroom home flew off the market in a snap.

‘Exquisite landscaping’

“There is detailed, exquisite landscaping in both the front and rear yards that includes terraced patios, prized cacti, mature trees, and mountain views,” says listing agent Joan Caruso. “My favorite feature is the indoor-outdoor pool cabana.”

This unique, 245-square-foot space connects the main home to the guest suite and serves as an all-seasons room that overlooks the outdoor spaces and mountain views.

Restored residence

The current owners purchased the property from a longtime Tucson resident in 2021 for $365,000, according to Realtor.com®, and they’ve been hard at work restoring it ever since.

“All utilities to the property are now underground, and the landscaping even incorporated gray-water harvesting in both the front and rear yards,” Caruso says.

Other upgrades include all-new kitchen cabinetry and quartz countertops, plus the addition of an electric, gated entry and car-charging station.

The location of this Southwestern spot is also noteworthy: close to the University of Arizona and the modern streetcar that provides service to downtown Tucson.

“I’ve been a real estate associate broker in Tucson for 50 years,” says Caruso. “Owning a Joesler home is to own a Tucson treasure!”
