4901 N Camino Arenosa

This 1958 ranch brings Tucson's vernacular building traditions into a mid-century modern design. Broad mortar joints accentuate the texture of the burnt adobe brick, while inside, exposed beams give the great room its architectural rhythm and walls of glass frame views of the Catalina Mountains and the city. A trapezoidal natural stone surround rises from a wide raised hearth to the beams, giving the wood-burning fireplace its stunning sculptural shape. Two wide sliders open to the south-facing covered patio and solar-heated pool. On 2.37 private acres in Flecha Caida Ranch Estates, the 2,940-square-foot home has 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, an updated kitchen, and a west patio with a hot tub and putting green. The attached two-car garage includes a workshop area and bonus storage room. Two skylights in the wood-beamed kitchen ceiling brighten the long counter that connects the kitchen to the dining and family rooms. The family room opens to the south-facing pool patio, where a bathroom is accessible directly from the pool deck. The west patio extends the great room and all three bedrooms outdoors, with a putting green, a hot tub, and views of the Catalina Mountains. An original walk-in closet lined in cedar from floor to ceiling is right off the hallway. Drip irrigation serves the landscaped areas around the house.
