6151 E. 21st St., Tucson, AZ 85711

Sale Pending!!! We have a contract and have just finished inspections.

Motivated Seller - Price reduced to $114,900!!!

This marvelous desert home has been meticulously cared for.



The french door behind the curtain is a Jeld-Wen and was installed earlier this year when the low-e windows went in. It's a nice unit and the door on the right side in the photo opens inward.



This photo is pretty self explanatory. The stove/oven is gas and it stays. If you look closely behind the trash can on the right, you can see the plumbing stub for the washing machine that was there at one time. This had been covered over and removed when we bought the house.


This is the view from the eat-in kitchen looking west into the living room. The 18cuft refrigerator in the photo has been replaced with a white GE Profile series 22.2cuft unit and it'll be staying with the house. The kitchen floor is tile; it was here when we arrived and it has served us well. If it ain't broke..... Just outside the window you see is an area that's shaded for most of the day and is perfect for growing herbs and flowers using the drip irrigation that's there.



The wall finish is American Clay - Acacia in the bathroom and it holds up to humidity well and even absorbs it so you can see the mirrors. A towel rack (at 6'+ level) with mirror below have been added to this wall since the bottom photo was taken. The cabinets and vanity are from IKEA and the toilet is one of the 1.3 gallon low flush models. It's currently set to 1 gallon per flush and has saved us quite a bit of water. All of the bathroom work was done earlier this year.


Here's the view as you step through the front door. Speaking of the front door, it was replaced with an insulated panel steel door when all of the low-e vinyl windows were installed in January of this year. The walls are covered with American Clay's Loma finish. The colors you see in this room are Savannah Moss (L) and Rio Grande Pecan (R). The flooring is Kronotex laminate flooring that was installed a few years back.



This was the daughters room. She especially liked the bright colors and the "fishy" light fixture from IKEA. The room is a little bit larger than 10x10 and has plenty of storage space in the closet for a little, or big, person.


There are quite a few rows in the back yard dedicated to vegetable gardening. Previous owners haven't used any herbicides in the garden and have pulled large harvests out of it every year. You can see the secret to desert gardening success lying there on the ground in this photo - steer manure and automatic drip irrigation. In order to provide some scale, each of the rows is roughly 22-24' long.


The cistern went in a few years ago, is filled by the guttering sytem, and will catch just under 400 gallons in no time. The plants really love it. The slab is 14" deep and the supply pipe runs through the concrete. Just out of view on the wall in the left side of the photo is the 200A service that we had professionally installed a few years ago. It was permitted and inspected by the city and TEP. At the time of the install, TEP came out and pulled new wiring from the house to the power pole.


The front yard was stocked about 4 years ago with desert native species, or in the case of the purple lantana, Mediterranean plants from Desert Survivors Nursery. The Palo Brea tree came from there as well. The mesquite is a chilean from Catalina Heights Nursery. Both of the trees were set in 4' deep/4' wide holes and have prospered. There's a volunteer creosote bush that's come up in the front that partners with the Chaparal Sage to provide a lovely smell every time it rains. The rough bit of white fence that you see in the photo has been replaced with vertical metal panels.
