About this property

Stylish Spacious Converted Bakery★Best Downtown Location★ Walk to Everything

110 year-old adobe market, artfully converted to a comfortable, upscale home. A quiet sanctuary located right in the midst of all the action: Downtown, Community Center, Theaters, Restaurants, and the Streetcar to UA, Banner Hospital. Located in quiet, historic neighborhood with high walk score. 4 blocks from downtown center and streetcar route.

Ideal for couples/friends/families who want large, comfortable gathering areas for shared time, but also desire separate bedrooms & bathrooms. This is a home where you won't be tripping over your luggage, waiting for the bathroom, or hearing the people in the next room. It's a full sized home, that just happens to be in the most desirable location in Tucson.

If you value authenticity, but also enjoy comfort and convenience, look no further.

Thick adobe walls, flagstone and hardwood flooring, Luxury linens, new beds/sofas, full sized washer/dryer. Delightfully furnished with an industrial vibe.

Expansive great room has soaring exposed beam ceilings and partially exposed adobe walls. A repurposed wood and pipe bar-height gathering table seats 8. Adjacent to comfortable sofa/chair seating for 9. The 55" smart TV streams Amazon Prime, via hi speed internet/w WiFi, Bose sound speaker, original art, designer lighting.

Relax in your own private, high-walled courtyard garden, with an Orange tree, fountain, natural gas grill, vintage patio table and chairs.

Completely outfitted kitchen with stainless steel appliances-gas stove, dishwasher, full size refrigerator with ice-maker, drip and French press coffee maker, microwave, blender, toaster, Fitz & Floyd dishes, stainless flatware for 8., condiments, teas, 15 herbs/spices,

The front bedroom has a queen bed, the sunroom bedroom has a king. Both beds with memory foam toppers. There is also a twin air bed available for a 5th person, which you can set up in one of the bedrooms. The "root cellar" downstairs is not counted as a bedroom because it does not have a large enough window to the outside to meet modern code, so should not be used overnight.

Note: Because of the steep, ungated stairway that leads down to the root cellar, this house is not appropriate for young children..

A little piece of heaven in Old Tucson

My self and my 2 daughters had a wonderful week in this perfectly appointed interior and exterior charmer. We walked in town, explored the neighborhoods, ate our meals both in the well stocked kitchen and in local spots and spent many wonderful hours on the Lucious back patio. The authenticity along with the comforts were a magic combination. I would go back her in a minute as would my girls. The owner was always prompt with communication which is so important. What a joyous place to spend a week.

Perfect Tucson Vibe

The listing for the Bakery was intriguing and pictures and description created high expectations. The property not only delivered, it was better than advertised! The place is immaculate and very well appointed. Design is historic with all the modern touches and conveniences. Perfect blend of old and new. Quiet and relaxing in a great neighborhood. We especially enjoyed the walled garden/patio - lush flowering plants in the day and romantic twinkling lights at night. The great room is grand for group conversation and activity and comfortable for remote working. Only a few blocks walk to historic downtown and lots of shopping by day and entertainment by night, as well as free streetcar to take us to the university of Arizona. Host Nancy was excellent. Thank you, Nancy, for a great stay in a unique historic property.

Perfect location and lodging for our stay

The Bakery was the foundation of our wonderful stay in Tucson. The property itself was all we imagined it would be from photos and the across-the-board excellent reviews... charming, clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. We did not want for anything while we were there. Outstanding location walkable to downtown. Nancy, the host, was extremely prompt in answering any questions, and check-in and check-out communication was clear and complete. I would undoubtedly stay at The Bakery again... and hope to in the near future!

Lovely Historic Property

We absolutely loved staying at the bakery! The neighborhood is funky & eclectic and reminded us of our old stomping grounds in North Berkeley. The property is quiet, comfortable, well-appointed and we really enjoyed the enclosed patio. It was very relaxing and larger than we expected. The location is great and we took a few walks around the neighborhood as well as to the market and dining downtown. We loved it and will certainly be back!

Great Stay!

The Bakery was amazing! The pictures depict it wonderfully. You can tell the hosts pride themselves in attention to detail. It was fully stocked with everything that you may need. A very detailed list of things to do and places to eat is provided and was very much appreciated by us as it was our first visit to Tucson. We had some very great meals all walking distance from the Bakery. The area felt safe and was relatively quiet. I would stay here again.

We stayed at the Bakery while we attended the Gem and Mineral Show. Our host sent information in advance with recommendations that greatly enhanced our enjoyment.

Comfortable, clean, great location, attention to detail! Host was very attentive. They have thought through how to make the stay fantastic. Back patio was truly an oasis. The host definitely has a green thumb. Great place to just kick back and relax. Has a grill but we didn’t use it. The kitchen is outfitted with everything you’d ever need. Beds were soft and comfy. Would definitely recommend if you want a unique, special place to stay in the heart of town.

Wonderful weekend getaway!

What a beautiful and unique historic home - we absolutely LOVED it! My girlfriends and I came to Tucson for a little reunion getaway, and I cannot say enough positive things about our stay. The place was immaculate and Nancy is a fantastic host, very responsive and provided a lot of great info about the house and things to do in the area. The Armory Park location was perfect for walking to downtown Tucson and 4th Avenue shopping, or just walking around in general - such a cool neighborhood! But back to the house.. very comfortable for our 3 nights there, love the decor and history of the home. We especially enjoyed relaxing in the lovely courtyard with our morning coffee (ahhhh, thinking about it now!) My husband is jealous after seeing the pictures, so we'll definitely keep this on the radar for our next trip to Tucson. Thank you again, Nancy - it was an absolutely wonderful stay!

Wonderful historic home. Nancy did a wonderful job with remodeling the bakery into a beautiful home. The design and eclectic decor with historical pieces is amazing. We so enjoyed the courtyard.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Day

Host profile image
I've lived in Tucson most of my life and love it. My husband and I have traveled a lot, and enjoy exploring older, eclectic neighborhoods-the less 'planned,' the better. We love commercial/industrial buildings converted to residential use; steampunk and industrial style decor; modern mixed with antiques, repurposed objects, and old urban neighborhoods that are being revitalized.
That is why we bought the Bakery. We want to live here full time when we retire. A few years away, but since this is a one-of-a-kind building, we had to get it when it became available.

Why they chose this property

The Bakery is the 'real thing.' It is featured on the first page of the application for Historical Status for Armory Park. It predates most the city records, first appears on the Sanborn Insurance maps between 1896 and 1904. It was large for an adobe building of that time, and was most probably a barracks. We don't know much before the late 1930's, when it was a grocery store. It was also printing shop, pinball repair shop and lastly a Bakery before being converted.
It is light filled, airy, unique and cool.
Everyday activities take on an almost spiritual, timeless quality. There is no other home exactly like this; probably because of it's long and changing history.

Think of it! How many times in your life will you get to live in a Bakery?

What makes this property unique

The thick adobe walls provide a quiet sanctuary, while the preserved Bakery storefront allows you to view the activity outside. It offers the rare combination of being in the middle of everything, while being quiet and private.

Armory park is an eclectic, revitalizing urban neighborhood, where there is something interesting, different, and often weird around every corner. It is the best place in Tucson to live if you want to forego driving for a while. It is within walking or streetcar distance to anything you could need.

This area of Tucson is one of the oldest continually occupied places in North America. It has a tolerant, laid back vibe, and thriving art/culture scene, and very little pretentiousness. Wear your comfortable clothing, or dress up if you feel like it.
