Tucked into the heart of historic Catalina Foothills Estates, this beautifully maintained and restored 1952 work of Josias Joesler offers a rare opportunity to experience one of the Southwest's most celebrated architects in a home that feels intimate, approachable and exceptionally livable. Set on approximately one elevated acre with shimmering city-light views, the home is rich with the details that make Joesler architecture so enduring - from beamed ceilings and masonry stucco construction to custom metalwork and an effortless connection between indoors and out. In the hands of its current stewards, it has been thoughtfully restored with tremendous care while retaining its original warmth and character, feeling vibrant, comfortable and very much alive today.

At 3,960 square feet including the guest house and pool house, the home is filled with color, texture and personality, with inviting living spaces that open naturally to truly extraordinary grounds. Mature trees and an intentional design of desert plantings create a lush, private setting for quintessential Tucson indoor-outdoor living. Flagstone patios offer multiple places to gather, dine and relax, while the pool - with its vibrant fountain, glass enclosure and shaded cabana - forms a striking centerpiece with a resort-like feel. Thoughtfully layered landscaping gives the yard a sense of discovery, with outdoor spaces that feel every bit as considered as the interiors. The expansive primary wing is a retreat of its own, with a private library and deck overlooking the surroundings. The main residence offers 3 bedrooms, with the office easily convertible to an additional bedroom, and a separate pool house with bathroom. A newer addition to the property, the beautifully designed guest house is a true independent living space, complete with its own kitchen and washer/dryer - equally well suited for weekend visitors or comfortable longer-term stays. The flexible configuration creates wonderful options for guests, working from home or extended family while still allowing each space a sense of privacy. The arrival is equally memorable. The new expansive circular driveway, centering around the restored original fountain is framed by an impressive collection of intentionally planted cacti and desert specimens. The property also offers exceptional garage space, with two separate garages: an attached, extended-length two-car garage and an oversized, extended-height three-car garage ideal for vehicles, hobbies and storage. Warm, artistic and unmistakably Tucson, this is a home with both architectural pedigree and soul. From its quiet Old Foothills setting and city views to its beautifully restored interiors and enchanting grounds, it captures the best of Joesler's enduring vision: a home designed not simply to admire, but to live in and enjoy.
