This sun-drenched, golden Santa Fe-style home sits on a prime CORNER LOT in the UPPER COVE, featuring Santa Rosa Mountain views. Exposed vigas, soaring 10' ceilings, and Saltillo tile throughout create that signature warm, open feeling with a nod to the Pueblo and Spanish influences that make this architecture so distinct. Quartz countertops, UPGRADED stainless steel APPLIANCES, fresh white paint, and newer window coverings bring it comfortably into the present. The POOL & SPA and fully ENCLOSED wrap-around YARD offer true desert living with complete PRIVACY. The big-ticket items are already handled -- brand new WATER HEATER, LIGHTING, newer POOL HEATER/CHILLER, PUMP, PEBBLE TEC and HVAC. Well cared for and move-in ready. Step outside and the hiking trails of the upper Cove are right there. NO HOA. Some things are worth their weight in gold - come see for yourself!
