Square Feet

Michelle Hotchkiss, real estate agent and mid century fiend, has square feet and a nose for great property. Each issue she brings us her pick of the week.

Where it is: Skyline Bel Air Estates

The damage: $525,000

You'll love it because: If you need a large family home that's been handsomely updated, this one has generous sized rooms and I love the makeovers in the kitchen and baths. I'd put this on a tour of "tasteful" remodels. Bonus: this is one of my favorite classic mid century neighborhoods of Tucson and it is walking distance to the enchanting DeGrazia Gallery on Swan Road.

Here comes the but: No city light views; the property sits in a dip off a ridge. Also two larger and more amazing mid century modern homes just sold in there at prices per square foot that put this one off the mark, and in my opinion, overpriced.
