A Premium and Award-Winning Downtown Property Minutes from the UofA!

Experience the epitome of luxury and convenience in our premium and award-winning 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath modern-built property nestled in the heart of Tucson's National Historic District, the iconic "El Presidio" neighborhood. Just a brief 5-minute stroll from downtown, this gem offers an unparalleled location, ensuring an unforgettable stay for tourists and locals alike.

Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of downtown Tucson, with shopping, art galleries, and exceptional dining options all within a leisurely walk. Franklin Court is not only a sanctuary for relaxation but also a strategic base for exploring renowned local attractions such as the Gem Show, the Tucson Rodeo, downtown concerts, and the lively events on 4th Avenue. The University of Arizona, a short drive away, makes this property an ideal choice for UofA sports and events enthusiasts, providing swift access to historic Fourth Avenue Street Fairs, eclectic restaurants, and charming shops.

This classic "Transformed Sonoran" row-house pays homage to Tucson's early architectural styles while incorporating modern green building engineering for enhanced noise reduction and energy efficiency. Professionally decorated, Franklin Court accommodates eight guests on plush 1 king and 3 queen, green-tea memory foam beds with luxurious linens. The showers adorned with rich slate tile add an extra touch of opulence.

The inviting earth-toned rooms, including a stunning master suite and an upstairs guest bedroom, exude natural light, while the third bedroom downstairs offers added privacy. Step into the welcoming outdoor living space featuring a covered patio, BBQ, fireplace, and fountain – perfect for intimate gatherings or peaceful relaxation. Recognized in 2008 by the Tucson Historic Preservation Society and the Tucson Opera League, this Craftsman-style home stands as a testament to sensitive infill and green sustainable design.
