A beautifully landscaped courtyard leads you to the entryway of the home. Natural light fills the home, enhanced by the original steel casement windows and enormous sliding glass doors showcasing spectacular views of the Catalina Mountains. Inside, the entertaining areas are adorned with intricate hand-carved moldings throughout and a marble fireplace, adding a touch of elegance and fine craftsmanship to the spacious living and dining rooms. Just off the main foyer there is an office filled with built in bookshelves currently being used as the media room. The eat-in kitchen retains its original vintage steel St. Charles kitchen cabinetry, equipped with a large pantry and separate laundry room. The flow of the house is one of its best features – with one wing dedicated to bedrooms and the other to entertaining all wrapped around the central courtyard.

The property boasts a huge, flat backyard that has been recently and beautifully redesigned, perfect for hosting large gatherings and offering a spectacular setting for outdoor entertainment. There is gorgeous pool and a newly built wooden pergola that houses a dining area and full outdoor kitchen, ideal for year-round enjoyment and entertainment. These features make the property not only a place for relaxation but also a perfect venue for memorable gatherings.

This home was originally built in 1959 for John Chiappetta, the founder of the former Bank of Tucson, marking its importance in the local architectural and social history. Frances Davison Cheney, known for her impeccable style and entertaining, once owned this home and chose George Stacey, a celebrated interior designer, to enhance its interiors. His influence adds an additional layer of sophistication and historical value to the property.

Recent updates include new whole-home Generac back-up generators and a state-of-the-art HVAC system, ensuring modern comforts such as a comprehensive water softener system.
