IF YOU LOVE THE TIMELESS ARCHITECTURE OF TLAQUEPAQUE IN SEDONA OR THE HISTORIC ADOBE HOMES OF SANTA FE, THIS HOME DESERVES A CLOSER LOOK. Designed by David Bushell & set within gated Rockcliff near Sabino Canyon, this custom Foothills residence brings together handcrafted materials, dramatic SW architecture & remarkable Catalina Mountain, desert and city-light views. Wood-beamed ceilings, substantial handcrafted doors, flagstone & wood flooring, stone fireplaces & intimate outdoor spaces create the sense of a home assembled with character rather than built from a formula. Windows are all thoughtfully positioned to capture the surrounding landscape, making the mountains & desert part of the architecture itself. At the center of the home, the kitchen looks directly toward the Catalina Mtns! The kitchen features floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, granite countertops, an induction cooktop beneath a decorative copper hood and a generous island with seating for six. Two spacious living areas offer distinctly different settings, including a family room anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with built-in display niches. Glass doors open to the covered front patio and courtyard, where Tucson city lights provide an entirely different view after sunset. The primary suite includes its own corner fireplace, patio access and an updated bath with stained concrete floors, walk-in rain shower and jetted tub. Each bedroom has a walk-in closet, while separate guest quarters with a full bath provide excellent flexibility for visitors, a home office or creative studio on the lower level. Outside, the home continues to reveal unexpected spaces. A covered rear patio overlooks the desert and mountains beyond an iron view fence. A movable deck provides additional outdoor space or opens to reveal the above-ground pool beneath. Raised metal garden beds add texture. Another features is a roof patio that sits above the approximately 30-foot-deep garage that enjoys sweeping views of the Catalinas, Tucson city lights and the surrounding desert, an exceptional setting for sunsets, stargazing and watching monsoon storms roll across the valley. Seller is offering a $20,000 credit toward replacement of the home's polybutylene piping; current and previous Sellers report no history of plumbing issues. This is not a typical Foothills home. It is a property for the buyer drawn to craftsmanship, architectural character and a setting that feels distinctly Southwestern. Minutes from Sabino Canyon, Canyon Ranch, dining, shopping and nearby bike paths. Be sure to view the lifestyle video to experience the home from another perspective.
