Tucson has an abundance of interesting Central Neighborhoods including Sam Hughes, Blenman Elm, The Barrios downtown, and also some interesting newer Communities that are designed to fit in eclectically to Tucson.

There is none more interesting than Adobe Gardens, a small Community of seven homes, gated and centered around a communal pool, and large courtyard. Close to the Rillito wash and surrounded by old historic homes, it fits well into the area.

I showed a gorgeous home in there last week that just came on the market. I had quality construction, an upgraded kitchen with a wonderful mexican encaustic tile back splash, and also had inviting outdoor patios and a fireplace.

When I visited, I felt that I could just move right in, and that home was built many years ago. I wondered whether this had something to do with coming from Europe, and always living in older houses!

The walls had been covered with authentic colored Venetian Plaster and were a true delight to view.

It is hard to imagine that you can have a relaxing serene environment in the heart of the city but it is common in Tucson, with courtyard walls, and interior spaces.

This is the second of two interesting homes that have come on the market in the last 6 months in the community. The first home reminded me of a home that I saw a few years ago from the Dordogne part of France with its tower centered over the main downstairs area.

The upstairs loft/bedroom has built in bookcases, and a galley walkway which was a delight to show. All the homes in this community have wonderful appointments that have been well thought out for those wanting quality,detail and sumptuous outdoor spaces. The master bedroom had been built to take advantage of the beautiful Santa Catalina Mountain views.

To all intents and purposes, central historic and eclectic homes have seen less depreciation in the Tucson market probably because of their charm and sense of style, and this community is one of them
