The historic “Old Amado School House” designed by Annie Graham Rockfellow, the first female graduate of MIT and first female architect registered in Arizona, has been listed for $898,800 by Donna Berger, a Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialist affiliated with the Foothills office of Coldwell Banker Realty. With a preference for commercial work, Rockfellow’s more notable contributions to the architecture in Southern Arizona include El Conquistador Hotel, Desert Sanatorium, La Fonda Buena Provecho and The Safford School. Located at 8 Amado Montosa Rd. in Amado, Ariz., the nearly 6,807-square-foot property has five bedrooms and six bathrooms.
“Just 34 miles from the Tucson International Airport, this sprawling resort hacienda dates back to 1925. With charm, character, history and the class of a bygone era, this home was built to last for generations with hand-laid block and plaster walls,” said Berger. “Over the last six months, the home has been restored and updated while keeping all of the classic elegance.”
Boasting the original wood ceilings and floors as well as more modern comforts, the main home encompasses an open kitchen with bar seating, dining area, laundry room and an expansive great room with a fireplace, bar area with saddle stools and built-in cabinets. With an abundance of space, the grand primary bedroom has a sitting area, walk-in closet and bathroom with a soaking tub, bidet and separate shower. An adorable guest casita offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a kitchen. An inspirational oasis, the gorgeous, lush grounds have automatic irrigation and mature, low maintenance trees, covered parking for four-to-five vehicles, lots of storage, outbuildings, workshops and an additional 576-square-foot detached building ideal for an exercise studio, rec room, art studio or another guesthouse.
