You'll love it because: The sellers of this property are only the second owners! Established in 1937, this historic Tucson property was the original home of the youngest son to Carlos and Dionicia Jacome.
"The Jacome family, can truly be credited as original Tucson pioneers, helping to establish Tucson's retail hub by owning and operating Jacome's Department Stores (1896-1980) in downtown Tucson, " says listing agent Pete Torrez.
It might not be a "Joesler", but it's from the day of excellent craftsman and carpenters that noted Tucson architect Josias Joesler used. No one has ever put nails for carpeting in the  beautiful polished colored concrete floors. The antique stove in the main house kitchen is even original to the house. Also it's close to the U of A, UMC, Himmel Park and the stunning Arizona Inn.
