Designed by renowned architect Arthur T. Brown, a master of desert modernism, this thoughtful 3 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom + Den residence offers an irreplaceable opportunity to own a piece of Tucson's architectural legacy.

This iconic burnt adobe residence, affectionately known as The Glenn Poole House, is a true time capsule for the discerning modernist.

Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows, wood beam ceilings, terrazzo flooring, exposed burnt adobe, and period-specific finishes blend the essence of indoor-outdoor living with timeless elegance.

The living room centers around a William Wilde-designed iron fireplace, uniquely set on a sunken bed of chipped marble, with expansive Santa Catalina mountain views as the backdrop.

The separate bedroom wing houses the 3 Bedrooms and 2 Baths, offering privacy and stillness from the high traffic areas. Each Bedroom has access to the rustic backyard. The spacious Primary Bedroom offers ample closet space, and the Primary Bath is graced by hand-laid tiles from artist Ann Bebe, with a dual-sided sink showcasing the whimsy and practicality MCM aficionados crave.

The exterior spaces retain their original character, including a backyard "wall" crafted from telephone pole crossarms, a resourceful and textural element beloved by MCM enthusiasts. Adding to the home's desert-modern history is the Tack Room and hitching post, a reminder that the original homeowners kept a horse on-site. Today, the Tack Room serves as a flexible space, ideal for a studio, guest house, or ADU, while still echoing the property's past.

The famed trampoline carport at the front of the home is a functional sculpture that speaks to the mastery of light, shadow, and desert living and it still stands proudly today. The Los Angeles Times published an article on September 14, 1958 that praised the ingenuity, noting, "The position and angle of a 20-foot trampoline carport cover assures shade for two cars. A circle of white gravel outside the living room corner window repeats the form of the canvas shelter, supported by a sturdy iron framework."

Situated on .83 acres in one of Tucson's most coveted neighborhoods, this property is a celebration of form, function, and thoughtful desert living. An extraordinary example of authentic southwest MCM, meticulously preserved. Equal parts architecture, art, and history!

Homes like this rarely come to market, untouched, soulful, and rich with architectural significance. For the true mid-century devotee, The Glenn Poole House is a living piece of Tucson's modernist legacy.

  • "This is the second time we've worked with Michelle as our buyer's agent and she's been great with helping us (and keeping me sane) through what has become the house buying experience from hell. I trust her completely - she's been responsive and proactive, and very assertive in advocating for us with the seller. She is also a lot of fun to work with."
