2303 N Lantern Ln, Flagstaff, AZ 86001

Welcome to Lantern Lane in Coconino Estates 2303 is situated in a very fun and special spot in Flagstaff and the neighborhood. The summer months are busy with swimmers coming from all around to enjoy Flagstaff’s one-of-a-kind “Ditch Pool” – a community pool situated just 140 yards from the front door. During the cooler months there is almost no traffic to speak of. The house backs the urban trail and the Rio de Flag. Immediately behind the house is a newly formed memorial park and community garden complete with city water and space to grow food and flowers to share. The fenced back yard is ample for most uses and has a patio, raised flowerbeds, a decent size lawn on a timed sprinkler system, a tree fort, and a nice spot for firewood. The feel of the back yard is quite private for this neighborhood due to backing the urban trail and fences filled in with mature Virginia Creeper vines and lilac bushes. The front yard has a cozy paved patio and walkway amongst mature trees and raised flowerbeds. Inside, the house feels warm and inviting. The house has gone through a variety of tasteful remodels and upgrades over the years and is mostly project free. At the center of the house is a solid cherry wood hand sculpted mantel over a river rock fireplace. The fireplace is an EPA level 2 (meaning low emissions and potential exemption from burn restrictions). It is capable of heating the home all winter on 2.5 cords of wood and accomplishes even-house heating by passive all-house convention due to a raised and arched center hallway, a vaulted ceiling, upgraded insulation in the two back rooms and storm windows throughout. Next to the brand new water heater is a four year old 90+ efficient forced air heater with an April Air humidifier on an integrated thermostat. The remodeled kitchen is classically styled with white cabinets and black countertops. It has a brand new top-of-the-line Bosch dishwasher, a custom made stainless steel slide out spice rack, a microwave vented to the roof and a new disposal in the sink. The kitchen, eating area and living room are connected by line of sight without walls chopping up the feeling of open space. Throughout the house is cinnamon colored maple hardwood flooring - double nailed and double glued to a concrete foundation. The flooring is brand new in two of the three bedrooms and 1 year old in the master bedroom. The bathrooms are remodeled from the original design and the laundry room has been moved from the hallway to a dedicated room behind the garage with a newly tiled floor and pantry. The floor plan also includes a 20X22 foot family room insulated with an exterior grade double pane glass door, a built-in gas fireplace and a built-in shelf for a flat screen TV wired for surround-sound. In the corner of the room is a home office set up with oak cabinets and glass block windows at desk height. The flooring is narrow plank oak with a unique inlayed black concrete pathway. The two car garage is currently set up as a shop, wired with 220V power. There are many cabinets for storage, providing enough room to park inside if needed. Neighborhood Description Lantern Lane is a very fun street to live on with its close proximity to the ditch pool, easy access to the urban trail system and neighbors we will miss.
