First Time Ever on the Market! Perched on one of the finest ridgetop view lots in the Catalina Foothills, this custom-built home by renowned builder John Kline offers an extraordinary blend of timeless craftsmanship, breathtaking natural desert beauty and Panoramic Views that will leave you in awe. Privately held and lovingly maintained by a retired Air Force Brigadier General and his wife for over 30 years, this home is a rare opportunity to purchase such a property with commanding views from DM to Marana, Vail to Nogales. Enjoy unparalleled 360-degree views from every window--from the majestic Catalina Mountains to the North, to the twinkling city lights of Tucson seen from the owner's suite, living room, kitchen & guest bedroom, not to mention the distant silhouette of Baboquivari Peak to the west, and the rolling Rincons and Sabino Canyon to the east. Inside The 3-bedroom, 3-bath layout balances formal elegance with functional flexibility, ideal for today's lifestyle while offering endless potential to personalize. The open kitchen flows seamlessly into the great room and out to the backyard, making entertaining on a large scale effortless. The spacious owner's suite includes a flex space that can be used as a home office, exercise room, or sitting room with direct access to the pool area, two walk-in closets, a large bathroom with a jacuzzi tub, and a walk-in shower with a view of Finger Rock! Step outside to your inviting backyard featuring a sparkling pool and expansive covered patio designed to take in the views and peaceful surroundings all year round. Additional features include an oversized 2-car garage with large workshop (easily convertible into a 4th bedroom or casita). Solid construction and meticulous maintenance make this home an ideal candidate for a cosmetic rehab to bring this home up to date on its finishes and amenities. The location is a 10+ to any local you ask and is just minutes from Whole Foods, AJ's, Costco, TMC, Sabino Canyon, and the two premier country clubs in the Foothills, La Paloma & Ventana Canyon. This is truly a needle in a haystack listing in today's world, one that will inspire, motivate and energize you the moment you walk in the front door; a legacy home in an unbeatable setting waiting for its next steward.
