Description
Set high on an elevated lot within the Catalina Foothills, this 1974 burnt adobe home offers sweeping 180 degree views that extend from the rugged peaks of the Catalinas to the glow of the city lights below. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this property feels both grounded and expansive - its architecture rooted in the desert, its spirit shaped by decades of memory, ritual, and the cadence of Sonoran life. Once inside, generous natural light and thoughtfully framed views define the living spaces - whether it's the mountains illuminated by afternoon sun from the formal living room, or the mesquite filtered light that drifts into the office each day. The open kitchen connects seamlessly to the family room and sunroom, inviting conversation across spaces. A split bedroom plan offers flexibility and privacy, well-suited for multigenerational living, guests, or households with varied rhythms & schedules. With four bedrooms and three baths, the home accommodates both quiet retreat and shared gathering with ease. Saltillo tile floors, thick adobe walls, and warm, lived-in interiors speak to the home's enduring character and tactile honesty.
Outdoors, a covered patio and trellis offer front-row seats to Tucson's elemental beauty: sunrises over morning coffee, the arc of monsoon storms rolling in from the south, vivid rainbows stretching across the horizon, and the hush of twilight as the city lights begin to shimmer below. The pool is both refuge and vantage - whether floating beneath a towering saguaro, sharing a meal beside the water, or watching bobcats and quail pass along the edge of the patio. The golden hour, when the sunset transitions into evening lights is spectacular and must be experienced.
The home is located within the highly regarded Catalina Foothills School District, consistently ranked among the top districts in both Tucson and the state- an appealing consideration for families seeking strong public education in a beautiful, well-connected setting.
With immediate access to nearby trails for hiking, climbing, horseback riding, and mountain biking, and just minutes from La Encantada, St. Philip's Plaza, and the restaurants and galleries of the Foothillsthis home offers a rare balance of privacy, beauty, and proximity.
