All in all, a great value for one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Tucson. See ext'd remarks and video and virtual tour Nestled on a superb interior spot in Shadow Hills, this property stands out. The outdoor spaces here are hard to find anywhere else on the market at this price point, not to mention in a premium neighborhood like Shadow Hills. Entering into the semi-private front courtyard, one immediately gets a sense of seclusion and intimacy. With a large (350sqft) paver patio, a smaller shaded deck, and terraced levels for planting, the courtyard is bordered by greenery on several sides, forming a special spot for welcoming guests and a shaded area for entertaining late in the day in the summer, or a sunny spot for mid-day relaxation in the cooler seasons. Best of all are the dramatic mountain views. The interior features open living spaces wrapping around the kitchen, with a living room featuring lofted wood beam and plank ceilings and a dramatic stone fireplace on one side, and a light-filled family room on the other, brightened by a large bay window. Between is a dining space with wet bar, perfect for entertaining. All enjoy southern exposure and views over the huge walled back yard toward A Mountain in the distance -- one of the relatively few spots in Shadow Hills that enjoys southern views. The kitchen is set up around a work triangle made for cooking and hosting, and with a large granite-topped peninsula with a gas cooktop and room to seat four. Having the two living/entertaining areas (living room on one side, family room on the other) is perfect for hosting family gatherings or parties, or for when people might want to be enjoying two different things at once (movie in one room, game or conversation in the other.) The split bedroom floor plan is a great set up, with the primary suite off on its own on the east side and the other two bedrooms down the hallway on the north. The primary suite has plenty of room to spread out, with an area on one side perfect for a study or office-type area, exercise/yoga, or just for sitting and reading and enjoying the greenery overlooking the front courtyard through the huge picture window. Not to be overlooked are the two walk-in closets, each spacious themselves. The secondary bedrooms are great for full time use as bedrooms, or as office, den or craft room. The two car garage features a bonus space currently set up as a workshop, with workbenches, cabinets, and storage shelves, but could just as well be space for a home gym. Outdoors is where this property truly stands out. Walking out from the living room there's the covered porch, large enough for lots of seating, whether as an outdoor living room or dining space. On the other side, outside of the family room, a wooden deck with views of A Mountain. Down the steps on either side are plenty of entertaining spaces on three levels, from the pavered patio on the west side, down to the pool deck, and finally the huge flagstone patio (over 1200sqft itself). Beyond those already established entertaining areas, there's a huge amount of space inside the perimeter wall and could be the place for anything, really... raised garden beds next to the house...a pickleball court... planted out to be a desert oasis... so many possibilities. All in all, a fantastic combination of elements in an incredible spot in one of Tucson's most sought-after neighborhoods.
