Loaded with style, color and charm, and most importantly, this home was built for truly comfortable living in the Sonoran desert (dozens of saguaros in sight from the windows of the house)--it is cool in the summer and warm in the winter, sited to maximum passive solar advantage, as well as maximum advantage of the unimpeded views--Santa Catalina Mountains to the south, Galliuros Wilderness mountains to the east, the San Pedro River Valley below. There is lots of storage space inside, plus a studio/garage, plus a freestanding storage building. Fans in every room, dishwasher, double glazed low E windows and doors, front door with gorgeous stained glass, lots of artistic details. A screened porch which can be an outdoor living room much of the year, perfect for watching the sunset glow on the mountains. Low maintenance including drip irrigation of yard and metal roof. Low costs for utilities, taxes, insurance.
Neighborhood Description
Rural setting on a bluff overlooking the river, but just a quarter mile off the state highway to Tucson. Only 11 miles away is the arts community of Oracle, and near too many great hiking and birding adventures to list. Its a nature lover's paradise.Market Area
Central Tucson is an hour away. There is great shopping on the northwest end of town that is 30-45 minutes away. The little town of Oracle has nice restaurants, galleries, antiques as well as a farmer market.School District
