About the Listing reim001 - cy008,no036,el202

The essence and patina of this stunning Mediterranean sanctuary simply cannot be replicated with new construction. Set well back from the road on a saguaro-studded 1.31-acre garden, this 3,027-square-foot single-level residence offers an exceptional 1,600 square feet of fully finished garage space. Rich textures and warmth flow throughout the home, highlighted by manganese Saltillo flooring, soft architectural arches, and dramatic natural stacked stone anchoring the family room. Every update and expansion has been completed without compromise, with exceptional attention to materials, craftsmanship, and timeless design. The kitchen is both beautiful and highly functional, featuring custom walnut cabinetry with generous storage, quartzite countertops, and premium appliances . A wood sliding door creates effortless indoor-outdoor flow to the shaded rear covered patio, opening to a spectacular negative-edge pool with swim-up table and bench, complemented by a shaded grass area. Lovingly updated and expanded by the current owner since 1994, the home reflects decades of thoughtful stewardship. Natural stacked stone walls frame the entry courtyard, accented by curated specimen cacti and desert foliage. The rear yard, pool, gas exterior fireplace, and built-in barbecue create a private sanctuary ideal for quiet evenings, sunset vistas, and distant city-light views. A rare and valuable bonus is the fully insulated and finished 21' x 50' RV garage, capable of accommodating a Class A motorhome or extensive toy collection. The main garage is over 25 feet deep and easily accommodates a full-size extended-cab pickup, while additional slab parking provides space for six or more vehicles. The floor plan is exceptionally versatile, offering two separate living areas, four bedrooms plus a den, and a dedicated exercise room. One bedroom features separate exterior access and could easily function as a guest or mother-in-law suite. The primary suite is a private retreat with its own exterior access, a spacious bath with soaking tub, and a walk-in closet. All major systems are current, including new AC units installed in 2023 and fully updated kitchen and bathrooms. The pool has been impeccably maintained since new and functions as such. Homes of this caliber are seldom available.
