5801 E 15th St, Tucson, AZ 85711

Welcome to Wilshire Heights, a quiet friendly and well-established neighborhood in the heart of Tucson that shows fabulous pride of ownership from the moment one enters this wonderful community. With only a few streets entering the area and gentle speed bumps to make them safe for the neighborhood children who gather and ride bikes here, it's quiet and comfortable but still near the best that Tucson has to offer---3 neighborhood parks including the Sears Disc Golf Park, walkable shopping and dining at the Park Mall and the nearby recently reinvigorated Broadway area, terrific medical care close by, and a nearby charter school as well. This available home is warm, welcoming and has been quite well loved and enjoyed by its current owners. With plenty of room for everyone and their buddies to gather, either inside or in the fabulous rear yard, and three large bedrooms beyond the master suite, there is room for a lively family here. A brick faÃfÆ'Ã,§ade and a Meyer Lemon tree famous throughout the neighborhood lead to the front main entry, handsome oversized double doors accented with distinctive leaded crystal glass. Inside, the comfortable living room has attractive wooden beamed and lined ceiling and a large gas fireplace set into a flagstone wall and enjoying a flagstone seated hearth and mantle. The mantle provides an electric outlet in which to plug holiday decorations, which the homeowners have greatly enjoyed. There is also a large family room with its own entrance, that calls out for a jukebox, large screen TV and pool table for gathering and occasional dancing....think kids/teenagers! The kitchen is roomy and cozy, with updated maple cabinetry including convenient pull-out drawers to reach everything. With two pantries, a five burner stove that has a convection oven, and lots of great counter space, this kitchen is good-to-go. Innumerable celebratory dinners have been cooked here with love and enthusiasm. The fabulously large rear yard consists of three areas: Foremost is the main area, a flagstone-covered patio with a very large and gorgeous rectangular pool and water feature, a welcome gathering spot on a warm afternoon. A built-in kitchen bbq and dining area are nearby, and a wood-burning kiva fireplace with banquette seating provides a spot to warm up and cook marshmallows after an evening swim. There is plenty of room to set up tables for larger gatherings, which have occurred frequently here for graduations, weddings and birthdays. Also outside is a separate large storage area that includes two storage sheds and has alley access, and a separate substantial dog run. The master suite includes his-and-hers walk-in closets, an adjacent Arizona Room that has been a private sitting/reading area and office, and a yoga/exercise space with its own entrance. Three additional spacious bedrooms also provide walk-in closets and are served by two hallway bathrooms. A huge laundry room has abundant storage and counter space, a large sink and room for a party! The home is largely floored with ceramic tiles for easy maintenance, with attractive carpeting in the living room and bedrooms. A newer water heater has the efficiency of a 55 gallon tank. The home has been freshly painted, inside and out. It's move-in ready and awaiting its new owners who will be graciously welcomed by the neighbors. Please contact us for a private showing.
