1st time ever on the market! A golden opportunity presents itself to own this very special and well-loved Foothills home in Shadow Hills. Located on a prime cul-de-sac lot and backing to natural desert open space on two sides, this home offers privacy & views rarely found in Shadow Hills. Forget window coverings and swimsuits here- you won't need 'em! A grand entrance welcomes you into the home with soaring ceilings and an open floorplan flooded with natural light from walls of windows and French doors leading out to the covered patio, sparkling pool & fenced backyard. The heart of any home, this gourmet kitchen will please any chef & features an expansive granite covered island w/gas cooktop, newer stainless appliances, a custom tiled accent wall and open shelving. A double-sided fireplace adds a nice cozy touch to the kitchen & adjacent family room on the 2 or 3 cold winter days we get each year. The rest of the time, you can enjoy the large covered outdoor patios, beautiful backyard with mature citrus trees, nature paths leading down to the wash, outdoor shower, private lap pool & spa surrounded by nature, abundant wildlife and undisturbed natural desert. Enjoy dining poolside w/city light views and the Catalina Mountains towering above w/ a view of Finger Rock! The split bedroom floorplan features a large primary suite w/3 closets, double vanities, a jacuzzi tub, walk in shower & French doors leading to the backyard. At the other end of the house, you will find two spacious bedrooms each with a walk-in closet and shared bathroom. Saltillo tile floors with a perfect patina even money can't buy are found throughout most of the house & engineered wood flooring in the bedrooms. Off the garage, you will find a heated/cooled bonus two-room space that would make for the ultimate workshop, "man cave", dark room, home office, casita, or leave it as-is for a "mother-in law suite"... She won't stay long. Tastefully updated, very well maintained & very much loved by the same owner for over 30 years, this home exudes happy vibes, good energy, loads of charm and embodies everything we love about Tucson. The owner has decided it is time to pass the torch to someone new to enjoy this home as much as he & his family have for the past 30 years, and so the search begins to find the next best stewards of this amazing home.
