The heart of the home is the beautifully renovated chef's kitchen, showcased in the photos and designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Custom cabinetry extends to the ceiling, providing substantial storage while creating a rich architectural statement. Granite countertops, a travertine backsplash, stainless appliances, a gas cooktop, double wall ovens, and a statement stainless range hood anchor the space. A large center island offers seating and prep space, illuminated by pendant lighting and natural light from the overhead skylight. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the breakfast area and living spaces, all framed by mountain views that remain present and uninterrupted.
The adjacent living area features soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and a dramatic stone fireplace with custom built-ins, creating a warm focal point that balances sophistication with comfort. Large windows frame the Catalina Mountains, making the landscape a constant backdrop rather than a distant feature.

The primary suite is privately situated within the split-bedroom floor plan and functions as a true retreat. The fully renovated primary bathroom reflects spa-level design, featuring a freestanding soaking tub set against warm stone finishes, a spacious walk-in shower with custom tilework, dual vanities with quartz countertops, modern fixtures, and carefully selected lighting. Every element feels cohesive and calm, designed to elevate daily routines into moments of retreat. The walk-in closet includes custom organization, adding both function and polish.
The home features a well-designed split-bedroom floor plan complemented by a versatile den/media room. On the guest wing, three secondary bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged, including one bedroom with a private ensuite bath, along with an additional full guest bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms. One of the secondary bedrooms is currently used as a home office, highlighting the flexibility of the layout while easily functioning as a traditional bedroom.
Outdoor living is equally impressive and intentionally designed to extend the home's living space into a true resort-style environment. The covered patio opens to a professionally built outdoor kitchen complete with a built-in stainless grill, granite countertops, bar seating, sink, and generous prep spacewell suited for everything from casual gatherings to larger-scale entertaining. Adjacent seating and dining areas flow across expansive paver patios, creating multiple zones for relaxation and connection.

Mature desert landscaping frames expansive Catalina Mountain views, delivering a backdrop that feels both dramatic and serene. Whether enjoying quiet evenings under the stars or hosting sunset gatherings, the outdoor spaces are oriented to capture Arizona's iconic light and setting.
Beyond aesthetics, the home offers meaningful infrastructure upgrades that add long-term value and peace of mind. Owned solar, a whole-home water filtration system, newer HVAC units, and Pella windows contribute to energy efficiency, comfort, and durability. A three-car garage, zoned HVAC, and quality finishes throughout further reflect the level of investment made into this property.
