A strikingly unique and one-of-a-kind captivating contemporary masterpiece with walls of windows providing sweeping views of both the Catalina and Rincon Mountains invites artistically inclined buyers, university personnel, medical professionals and anyone seeking a creative style of living to visit. With strong architectural features including concrete scored flooring, unique angles throughout, exposed ventilation pipes and striking metal ceilings throughout, it's NOT your cookie-cutter home! Extremely well located and set back from the road, this is a serenely private and tranquil retreat. Generous use of multi-level windows allow for an abundance of natural light throughout the home. Solar system is owned by the seller with 20+ years warranty left!! These transparent facades provide a spectacular fusion of indoor and outdoor living spaces. Artfully set on two levels connected by a creative metal staircase, the spaces are generous with high ceilings. Details include a new kitchen in 2020, new European-style bathrooms, 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths ( two have been remodeled), a private-entry casita and space to add a pool on the eastern portion of the .68 Acres included with this distinctive home. The entry provides space for a welcoming sitting area with a stunning two-story wall of windows providing glorious views of our mountain ranges. A loft continues the sweeping outlook. Downstairs is the fabulous newer kitchen and dining/family area, with two sliding doors leading to enclosed patios, again with wrap-around views through multiple large and clerestory windows. The kitchen is a highlight and wonderful for entertaining, with a large island perfect for chatting with guests and serving appetizers while the chef is preparing dinner. Added in 2020, it features sleek lines with generous storage spaces, stainless appliances, an artful subway tile backsplash, and more: a wifi-enabled induction cooktop, wine refrigerator, soft-close drawers, motion-activated faucet, adjacent pantry and sitting/dining areas, and those views! This kitchen serves as an invitation for culinary creativity and lively gatherings! The home often reflects soft purple or gold at sunset. From the primary bedroom, experience the new day's dawn and splendid sunrises framed with sweeping Catalina Mountain vistas and enjoy the full moon when the room is silver-shaded. The casita with private entry, handsome stone accent wall and bamboo floors is perfect for a yoga studio, for guests or a short-term rental. The two-car garage is spotless, as is the entire home. The Lutron lighting system enables easy dimming of lights for softer evening scenes. The larger patio has high fencing for pets and a gas outlet for a barbecue and firepit. Another HUGE benefit is the solar system that is owned and not leased and conveys to the buyer at no cost!!
Nearby and walkable amenities include Italian, pizza and sushi restaurants, Whole Foods, and excellent schools (Basis is quite close). The Loop is only .6 miles away. There is quick easy access to U of A, medical centers, downtown and Raytheon. Upscale dining options are nearby as are Tucson's best shopping areas.
