1896 Historic Adobe building was a Bakery before it was artistically converted into a unique and stylish 2 bedroom, 2 bath home. Spacious (1700 sq/ft) with no 'germ laden' public or shared doors or spaces. WHO SHOULD STAY IN THE BAKERY? The traveler who appreciates unique, authentic spaces, but also values comfort and cleanliness. Who wants a quiet, private retreat in the middle of all the action. Perfect for two couples, families with children over the age of 12, or multi generational relatives. THE SPACE- Lofty beam ceilings and exposed adobe brick. A huge great room, natural stone floors, beautiful old growth cedar doors and molding. Luxury linens, quality glassware, new beds and sofas, a sprinkling of antiques, custom made furniture, original artwork, designer lighting with a...1896 Historic Adobe building was a Bakery before it was artistically converted into a unique and stylish 2 bedroom, 2 bath home. Spacious (1700 sq/ft) with no 'germ laden' public or shared doors or spaces. WHO SHOULD STAY IN THE BAKERY? The traveler who appreciates unique, authentic spaces, but also values comfort and cleanliness. Who wants a quiet, private retreat in the middle of all the action. Perfect for two couples, families with children over the age of 12, or multi generational relatives. THE SPACE- Lofty beam ceilings and exposed adobe brick. A huge great room, natural stone floors, beautiful old growth cedar doors and molding. Luxury linens, quality glassware, new beds and sofas, a sprinkling of antiques, custom made furniture, original artwork, designer lighting with an industrial flair. Full kitchen, SS appliances, dishwasher, gas stove, gas grill, your own washer/dryer, WIFI internet, flat screen TV, coffee maker, microwave, ice maker, toaster, blender, cookware. The first bedroom has a queen bed, second bedroom, adjacent to garden, has a gel memory foam topped king that can convert to 2 twins**. Basement den used to be a root cellar, and has a daybed for naps away from it all, but is not counted as a bedroom because of zoning. ( The window is not big enough for a fireman to fit through!) Front bathroom has tub, second bathroom has low threshold shower and ADA sink. Both have new, elevated toilets and new shower fixtures. The two air conditioning/forced gas heat units were new in 2019. A TYPICAL DAY Breakfast in the warm Tucson sun, in your private enclosed garden courtyard. Linger over coffee under the Seville orange tree. Walk 3 blocks down to Tucson's oldest Yoga Studio for a morning class. Visit one of the nearby art galleries, museums. Stroll over to North 4th Ave for bohemian shopping and, of course, people watching. A short walk or streetcar ride brings you to the UA with its museums, arboretum, planetarium, and many cultural events. Lunch at one of the many award winning Mexican and Mexican fusion eateries. Back home again in your cool, quiet adobe fortress, browse the internet at the gathering table in the expansive light filled great room, while watching the bikes and pedestrians pass by your huge picture windows. The west window gives a perfect view of the brilliant pink and orange Tucson sunsets. Invite your friends or colleagues over for drinks before strolling to the entertainment district for dinner and a streetcar to a UA basketball game. If you are tired of dining out, you can bar-b-que on the natural gas grill in your private courtyard. The train passes by at just the right distance...the romantic rumbling evoking memories. It's a quiet neighborhood, with sidewalks and trees, but right on the edge of the vibrant Tucson downtown. People walk and cycle by. Because of the low humidity, the desert night sky is brilliant. (Which is why there are several observatories in the area.)More

Downtown Bakery is not responsible for any injury or loss. It is strongly advised to purchase trip insurance. 1. There is a narrow, steep concrete stairway in the kitchen down to the 'Root Cellar' that has no handrail. Young active children should not stay here. 2. You can smoke in the courtyard with the door closed. No smoking or vaping inside. Ever! 3.

About the neighbourhood
Armory Park, in the heart of Tucson, is one of the original neighborhoods on the National Register of Historic Places. (The application features a picture of The Bakery on the front page!) With an eclectic mixture of hipsters, retirees, artists and colorful characters, all coexisting in that famous Tucson laid-back style, the people watching is unbeatable. With a zealous historical review process, Armory Park has retained hundreds of the original buildings.
Getting around
The Bakery is just 4 blocks from the electric streetcar which runs for 4 miles through the heart of Tucson, taking you to hundreds of Tucson most iconic restaurants, museums, shopping, and entertainment venues.
