Property Description
The S.C. Davis House, 1930. One of the earliest homes built in San Clemente, this remarkable Spanish Colonial Revival residence was originally home to Dr. S.C. Davis, a founding member of Tucson's Thomas-Davis Clinic and director of the Tucson Sunshine Climate Club. Nearly a century later, the home's architectural character remains beautifully intact. Set along the gently curving La Creciente, on a generous .51-acre parcel, the residence is a wonderful example of Period Revival architecture, where historic character and thoughtful modern improvements exist in harmony. Arrival is through a gated courtyard, where an arched front loggia, clay tile roofs and casement windows establish the home's Spanish Colonial character. Inside, the formal living room is defined by 10-foot ceilings with hand-hewn wood beams, a sculpted plaster fireplace and wood floors. The adjoining dining room captures the warm afternoon light and connects naturally to the kitchen, where custom cabinetry, soapstone countertops, a farmhouse sink and professional-grade appliances balance function with thoughtful material choices. An updated butler's pantry offers additional beverage storage, a sink, dishwasher and a mix of concealed and open cabinetry. Beyond, the family room provides a more informal gathering space, with a second fireplace, built-in cabinetry and double doors opening to the backyard. The connection between indoors and out makes this an inviting space for both everyday living and entertaining. An adjacent laundry room and bedroom with half bath complete this portion of the home. The bedroom wing includes the primary bedroom, two additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms, with updated finishes that complement the home's original architecture. The current owners have undertaken an extensive series of improvements, carefully updating the home while respecting its history. Significant investments include a newer roof, updated HVAC systems, electrical and plumbing improvements, renovated bathrooms and refreshed interior and exterior finishes. Refinished wood floors, custom cabinetry and Saltillo tile bring warmth and continuity throughout. The enclosed backyard is designed for gathering, with an outdoor fireplace, built-in kitchen with grill, and bocce court creating a series of spaces for entertaining and enjoying Tucson's outdoor lifestyle. Desert landscaping, masonry walls and a curved driveway further enhance the grounds. A permitted 382 SF studio offers additional flexibility for a home office, creative workspace or exercise studio. A two-car garage at the main residence and a separate single-car garage adjacent to the studio provide additional parking and storage. As a contributing property within the San Clemente Historic District, the S.C. Davis House represents a rare opportunity to become the next steward of a piece of Tucson's architectural history. Nearly a century after its construction, the home remains a testament to enduring design, craftsmanship and a deep sense of place.
