Santa Fe, Southwestern

Back and better than ever before, this magnificent home designed and built by respected local builder Mike Wachs for his own personal residence features 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and has just undergone an extensive remodel by the current owners who have introduced a modern Southwest vibe that has transformed this already stunning authentic Santa Fe residence into a sophisticated and modern home with finishes one would expect in a home of this caliber and that embodies the wonderful Tucson desert lifestyle. This home was perfectly placed far back from the quiet street on a prime 1.88-acre hilltop lot with commanding mountain and city views with ultimate privacy in one of the Foothills finest gated communities, Catalina Foothills Estates #10. As you approach up the long private driveway, you are welcomed by an extensive collection of exotic cacti and rare desert plantings by Plants of Distinction that perfectly enhance the homes style. Inside you will find stunning Saltillo tile floors with a rich patina that complement the warm wood high beamed ceilings, & walls of windows . Freshly painted on the inside, the neutral white palate perfectly enhances the many custom tile details and superior craftsmanship this home exudes. As you enter the home, your eyes are drawn to the spacious and inviting living room featuring a beehive fireplace, a wet bar w/designer tile wall and wine fridge ideal for entertaining, a large picture window that perfectly frames the city lights at night and leads to the formal dining room for intimate gatherings. The spacious chef's kitchen features granite counters, newer stainless appliances, center island w/Wolf cooktop, butler's pantry and an eat-in breakfast nook for causal family dining. The spacious owner's suite offers a cozy reading area w/see through fireplace, city light views from the bedroom, a spa like bathroom w/large walk in closet, an exercise room w/access to a private patio and is adjacent to the 5th bedroom or private home office. The guest wing offers a main floor suite, two bedrooms & update bathroom upstairs and a bonus loft/rec space. Two inviting outdoor living areas offer the best of both worlds- the rear North facing patio with a kiva fireplace, lush mesquite trees and stunning views of the Catalina Mountains & Finger Rock and the front South facing covered patio ideal for cocktails and al 'fresco dining overlooking the pool and city lights. The oversized 3 car garage can easily accommodate a lift for additional car storage or a small RV.
