Enjoy views of the Catalina Mountains from the large spacious yard! Welcome to a like-new and luxurious A.F. Sterling home in Tortolita Vistas, a private gated community near Dove Mountain, where all lots are over 3/4 Acre. While the homes are very private, it's a friendly community where homeowners know and trust each other and have occasional neighborhood gatherings. The handsomely landscaped front yard leads to a charming front porch area and an elegant double entry door of iron with set-in screen features, providing an opportunity for cross-breezes on our cooler days and setting the stage for this beautiful home. A coffered ceiling accentuates the entryway and views across the great room of the lush Sonoran Desert beyond the home. A spacious den/office/TV room is adjacent to the entry. With a popular open floor plan showcasing large spaces, the dining room can hold a table adequate for "friends and family", while the great room is also comfortable for relaxing or entertaining. The ample breakfast room is adjacent to the breakfast bar, providing a plethora of seating options and access to the rear patio and yard. A well planned kitchen features granite counters and handsome wood cabinetry with pull-out features for easy access. The pantry also has pull-out shelving. A five-burner gas cooktop and wall oven provide excellent cooking options, along with the outdoor kitchen built-in barbecue nearby. The gas cooktop is accented with a tiled custom scenic backdrop, and subway-style tiles provide a stylish backsplash throughout the kitchen. An island provides additional storage. The nearby laundry room is large, with built-in cabinetry for storage of laundry/cleaning supplies (note the newer Samsung washer/dryer, included). The home is a split floor plan, providing three smaller bedrooms and two full baths on one side, including one bedroom with an en-suite bath. The expansive master bedroom enjoys views of the Catalina Mountains and has another handsome iron door to the outdoor covered patio, with plenty of room for a large reading chair. A spacious walk-in closet plus another smaller closet outfitted with cubbies (by California Closets) provides significant space for clothing and sundries. The primary bath has double sinks separated by a seated make-up counter, a separate WC, and a large walk-in shower with double shower heads. The rear yard encompasses a well-sized (extended) covered patio, an outdoor kitchen with a built-in barbecue, and room to add a pool while enjoying views of the Catalina Mountains and desert greenery in a private setting. The large 3-car garage includes upgraded garage doors and epoxy-finished floors. This like-new home is spotless, perfectly maintained and move-in ready for you. All services, groceries, and other needs, and restaurants are nearby, with quick access to both Oro Valley and I-10 for downtown Tucson and Phoenix. Furnishings may be available on a separate bill of sale. We look forward to showing you this lovely home at your earliest convenience.
