Supplements: In the heart of renewed downtown discover the beautiful classic features of another time & place. The historic Blenman House & Guest House. Discover the regal elegant splendor of a time when wealthy pioneers built homes to love & to last. This home in the Armory Park Historical Preservation Zone is one of the 1st homes constructed in Tucson - a jewel of unbelievable historic value & significance. The massive wooden columns & extensive hand crafted woodwork can tell stories of Tucson before the 1900. Hosting visiting Statesmen, Dignitaries, & Galas over the years, the Blenman House is located at the southwest corner of Scott Avenue and Corral Street in downtown Tucson. This historic home, on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Armory Park Neighborhood, belonged to the Honorable Charles Blenman, and was in his family for approximately 100 years. Built in 1878, the estate it is thought to be the only known example of a San Franciscan Victorian home built in the Territorial-style of adobe mud. The property went through extensive renovations and remodeling in the late 1990's, which included the preservation and restoration of all of the original woodwork, doors, and trim, which had been carefully packaged and stored in the home's carriage house. The living space consists of 5,704 square feet. The main 1-story residence house is comprised of 4,567 square feet of living space, and is on its own tax code. The former 1,137 square foot carriage house was converted to a caretakers house in the 1990's, and is on separate tax code, along with the pool and spa area. The main house has maintained its historic charm, including the original Pacific fir wood architectural accents, leaded glass skylights and transoms, and intricate fretwork that enhances the old-world ambiance. With the exception of the 7 bathrooms and the kitchen, the entire house boasts oak and fir wood floors throughout. The property includes two tax codes: 117-13-1730 and 117-13-1740, zoned HO-3 and C-3 respectively, by the City of Tucson. The entire property has mostly been used as an estate residence over its 140 year history, and has been used in a mixed use capacity and run as an Inn for the past 20 years. The zoning is well suited for maintaining a residential estate, however, the home's HO-3 zoning allows for mid-rise office development and other land use which provides compatibility with other adjoining residential and multi-use properties. Permitted uses include residential, professional and semi-professional offices, high density residential developments, and limited research and development uses. The C-3 (intensive commercial) parcel to the south of the main structure, which is currently housing the guest house and pool, permits, in addition to the current residential use, retail commercial with wholesale, nightclubs, bars, and amusement enterprises. A full range of automotive activities, sales, repairs, and leasing, are permitted. The property is located within the Downtown Area Infill Incentive District (IID), by the City of Tucson. This is a development incentive which promotes increased development density, a height limit of 60 feet, decreased setbacks, and parking variances. The property is located in a highly desirable, historic, and well established neighborhood situated in downtown Tucson, in close proximity to the U of A, and UMC, and is two residential blocks away from two different street car stops.
