Contemporary

Welcome to a very private, elegantly spacious Southwestern Contemporary home in gated and prestigious La Reserve. Bucolic and dramatic views from many oversized windows are imbued by graciousness and warmth throughout the home. With warm inviting areas to live, relax, work and entertain, this is a home for the most discriminating buyers. A beautifully landscaped front area with a large adobe vessel fountain, and heavy authentic mesquite wood double doors with bronze hardware, sets the stage for entry into the foyer with an elegantly understated chandelier set into a recessed ceiling dome. One’s eyes glide over the spacious living area and out the wall of windows to the verdantly green mountainside topped with the boulders at the top of dramatic Pusch Ridge, a landmark of the Oro Valley area. (In the Chinese feng shui system, an upsloping mountain behind a home brings stability and good fortune!) Continue to the gorgeous kitchen, breakfast room with more walls of windows looking up the slope to the peaks of Pusch Ridge, and the commodious family room with banks of tall oval topped windows providing yet more lovely views and flanking a unique "bee hive" fireplace, a fabulous gathering spot for friends and family. The kitchen has counters in a thick, richly shaded golden granite that blends elegantly with the glossy mahogany-finished concrete floors found throughout the home (except bedrooms which are cozily carpeted). A plethora of handsome richly shaded handmade mesquite wood cabinets extend to the ceiling, with leaded glass windows on upper lighted cabinets. A large walk-in pantry extends the bountiful storage found in the home, along with a super-sized side-by-side refrigerator & freezer. The central island, topped with beveled-edge granite, includes a bar sink of hammered copper, a theme continued with an oversized farmhouse main sink and hammered bronze hood above the five-burner cooktop. A curved granite "breakfast bar" seats eight with ease, while the adjacent "breakfast" area overlooks bright bougainvillea and a gorgeous yard with "Arizona grass" and provides more views up the verdant hillside to those Pusch Ridge peaks. The family room, with a curved wall of banquette seating accented with tall windows and flanking a substantial and unique "bee hive" gas fireplace, provides plenty of space to spread out, yet also a cozy feeling. A sound-proofed media room with all needed connections is adjacent to the family room. The entry from the oversized 3-car garage is into a mud room with lots of storage and a bench to sit down and take off your hiking shoes before entering the main part of the home. A powder room with more granite counters, hammered copper vessel sink and glassed-in shower and an office overlooking the lushly landscaped front yard and adobe vessel fountain complete the "South Wing" of this magnificent home. The "North Wing" provides a "WOW" master bedroom suite with views over the tranquil pool and spa, up the mountainside to those Pusch Ridge peaks, and a wall of art alcoves individually lit with bookshelves below. The spacious master bath features black granite gold-flecked counters perfectly accented with hammered copper sinks and bronze hardware, a large Jacuzzi tub set in an earthy granite tile surround (room to set down that book or glass of Chardonnay!) under yet another large window with "those views", and a beautifully glassed-in shower finished with more earthy granite tiling. Two substantial walk-in closets proved extensive built-in drawer, cabinet and shelf storage. Four additional smaller bedrooms with well-planned walk-in closet storage and two full baths complete the north side of this very special home. Art niches and bookshelves are found throughout the home. The large rear yard provides a broad deep covered terrace overlooking the softly blue-green gently curved pool that blends harmoniously with surrounding green trees and rocky vistas. The pool has a "beach" landing entry. An adjacent spacious circular spa provides deep circular seating with lots of space for relaxing and listening to only the breeze gently rustling nearby trees for accompanying sound. There's a green "turf'" area (putting green, anyone?) and of course "those views", including city lights to the south. This is retreat for the senses both inside and out, with an overall sense of elegant harmony, and an abode for those who appreciate a home that is truly one of the best Tucson has to offer.
