    What's special

    Extensively remodeled kitchenExpansive mountain viewsModern cabinetrySpacious kitchen islandLeathered granite countertopsPrivate desert backdropProtected desert backdrop
    Set on an elevated desert lot with beautiful mountain views and a private desert backdrop, this thoughtfully updated and remodeled Tucson home offers a rare combination of privacy, views, modern improvements, and timeless desert living. The property backs to Sweetwater Preserve, providing a peaceful and private setting. Inside, the extensively remodeled kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring modern cabinetry, leathered granite countertops, a spacious kitchen island and an open connection to the dining and living areas. Walls were thoughtfully reconfigured to create an inviting open floor plan with excellent sight lines throughout. The family room features additional high-efficiency windows surrounding the fireplace, bringing in natural light while showcasing the surrounding setting. The home has been extensively and thoughtfully upgraded for comfort and efficiency, including all-new dual-pane high-efficiency windows and skylights, a fully owned 9.6 kW solar system, upgraded electrical panel and subpanel, a 2023 heat pump with an additional return for improved airflow, and a tankless water heater installed in 2025. An oversized two-car garage offers exceptional functionality with a dedicated workbench, utility sink, cabinetry, overhead storage, and two EV charging stations. The roof was recoated in December 2025. Both the primary and main bathrooms have been beautifully remodeled, with custom tile and granite in the main bath and marble countertops and shower tile in the primary suite. Secondary bedrooms feature durable LVP flooring. The front entry has been transformed with a custom metal door and sidelights featuring dual-pane glass, exposed brick, and a redesigned ceiling that creates a striking architectural entrance. Outside, low-voltage landscape lighting highlights the desert setting and enhances the home's curb appeal. With expansive mountain views, a protected desert backdrop, extensive updates, owned solar, and a thoughtfully redesigned interior, this is a special Tucson property offering privacy and comfort in a beautiful desert setting. Enjoy the best of Tucson's desert lifestyle with a setting that feels wonderfully private and removed, yet remains conveniently connected to the city. Despite the peaceful desert setting, you're not far from I10, downtown Tucson, shopping, dining, the Mercado and everyday conveniences. It's an ideal location for those who want the feeling of a private desert retreat without giving up convenient access to the rest of Tucson. It's the kind of location that is increasingly difficult to find--a peaceful, private acre surrounded by desert beauty, thoughtfully renovated and updated with the convenience of Tucson just minutes away. This is Tucson living.
