    What's special

    Sparkling poolCovered patioSplit-level designExpanded pavestone patioArtificial turf play areaCorner lotSouth facing backyard
    Welcome to this gorgeous 3,270 sq ft home nestled on a corner lot in a peaceful cul-de-sac, offering the perfect combination of space, style, and comfort. This remarkable property has all the comforts of home that anyone could ask for. This hard-to-find, split-level design is ideally located in the heart of Oro Valley in a wonderful golf community. The Sante Fe architectural style is truly a gem with great curb appeal that is warm and welcoming. Don't forget about the expanded driveway that allows off-street parking for five cars. This beauty features 5-bedrooms, 3.5-bathrooms, 2-beehive gas fireplaces, a sparkling pool, two bays of the 3.5-car garage have been converted (with permits/inspections through the city) into an additional living area which makes an ideal game/music/flex room. This is completely reversible if desired, but is an asset for musicians, artists, hobbyists, athletes, or work from home professionals. The living room is located on the main floor and has a 12' tall ceiling made of warm, knotty timber supported by 18"+ diameter viegas ringed by bright windows and accentuated with a beehive natural gas fireplace. Off the main living room is a custom, maple wood staircase with a skylight at the top. Seven steps down leads to an additional living area with three full size windows, a wet bar, and second beehive gas fireplace. Also, downstairs there is a full bathroom and two bedrooms - each with a full-size window. Upstairs is real wood flooring leading to the primary bedroom with soft carpeting, and an ensuite bathroom that includes both a garden tub & separate shower, granite countertops, and dual vanities. There are two additional bedrooms upstairs with soft carpeting & laminate flooring & both share the hallway bathroom. The south facing backyard includes a covered patio with access doors from both the kitchen and living room, swimming pool with VFD pump and sand media filter, expanded PaveStone patio, artificial turf play area, and room on the West side yard for a 15' diameter trampoline. The east side yard has a paver walking path lined with orange, tangerine, lemon, and grapefruit trees. Updated, solid surface, countertops in the kitchen and all bathrooms. Central heating/AC is only a few years old. The home was completely replumbed and includes a new hot water heater with a circulation system. Roof recoated about two years ago. Located near great schools. It's about a 1-mile walk to the Oro Valley Community Center which features tennis, pickleball, a gym, and a swimming pool for an added fee. The Oro Valley Library is a 1.2 mile walk. There is easy access to medical facilities, dining, shopping, trails, bike paths, and multiple parks. This gem has everything you've ever dreamed of!
