Where it is: In the Samos neighborhood of Tucson, near Salpointe High School

Listed by: Long Realty Company

The damage: $225,000

You’ll love it because: This classic 50's brick home is near the Mountain Avenue bike path with direct access to the UA. It's been stylishly remodeled with an addition added by Brooks Clifford Design. Now there's an open floor plan and huge picture windows that capture the morning sun, also spa-like bathrooms (done in small spearmint-green tile) and, in the addition, lofty ceilings. Add to that the industrial steel-siding clad exterior and you have a contemporary gem in a historic neighborhood.

Here comes the but: It's only two bedrooms and two baths, but included are architect's plans for an additional guest room.
