1201 E Calle De La Cabra

A desert oasis in Shadow Hills. Arizona indoor-outdoor living as it should be, with vibrant sunset colors, mountain views, and outdoor entertaining spaces to delight. Featuring a natural, lagoon-like pool, a brick patio perfect for enjoying evenings by the firepit, and more covered outdoor living space than you have friends to host in it, this dream of a backyard enjoys the best of all seasons, from cool summer shade, to full, warm winter sun. And inside? A luxurious guest suite, completed in 2019, with plank-style porcelain tile floors and huge windows looking out onto the mountains. And with a spacious, winter-light-filled beam-and-plank-ceilinged living room, and a great-room concept family room/kitchen, enough space for everyone. (Please see expanded remarks and 3D virtual tour.) Primary bedroom suite w/ corner kiva fireplace, a direct walk-out to the back patio, and an en-suite bath that truly has a "garden tub" looking out onto a private walled garden nook with elevated tiers, perfect for banks of warm-season annuals, dramatic ornamental cacti, or your own herb garden. Owners will be tempted to treat themselves as guests, with a 550sqft guest suite that feels and lives like a luxury stay. Beyond the mountain-view picture windows, and the expertly finished built-in storage cabinets, there's the spa-like bathroom with a huge walk-in shower, dual vanities over quartz countertops, and a large enough closet space for several seasons of clothes. What endures, though, is the large, north-facing picture windows, filling the space with natural light and mountain views. Friends and family will consider themselves lucky to be your guest here. The "oasis" feel of this backyard and outdoor entertaining space cannot be understated. In the summer, days spent lazing or playing poolside, games on the emerald green turf, grilling on the patio, and gathered around the wall-mounted TV and built-in speakers for movie night. In the cooler seasons, afternoons of full sun on the pavered upper patio, watching the big game on the screen, and admiring the mountains turning from orange to pink gathered around the firepit--or better yet, from the heated spa, under the moonlit shade of a saguaro. And for those who relish the opportunity to host: more than enough covered space to seat more than you can feed, as can be seen with this 12-foot table, which could seat 14 comfortably, and still leave room to spare. And to feed them? A gas line run directly for the grill station. While the opportunity to host and entertain so many is apparent, what stands out to one, even spending a few minutes here, is how serene it can be on its own, with the softly filtered sunlight through African Sumac and Mesquite branches, the slow transit of the sunlight across the mountains, and the "babbling brook" sounds of the elevated spa running gently into the pool. Altogether, an almost red-rock-canyon feel, which one could enjoy all to onesself. Whether as a center of activity for many, or a private retreat for two, it isn't hard to imagine spending more time outside than in here, and loving every minute of it. Not to be overlooked is the extra covered space off the back patio, leading to the garage, plenty large enough for a potting table the avid gardener, shelves for sports and outdoor gear, or even a desk on rollers, which one could pull out to enjoy shade or sun, depending on the season. If the future of work for so many is at home, it's hard to imagine a more enviable home office than what one could make here. There's a 2-car garage, of course, but it somehow feels larger than that, opening to a 3rd car-garage on one side, which could be a gym, a workshop, extra storage, or all three. And on the other side? A bonus office space, which, though it isn't heated or cooled by central air (and hence, has not counted in the living area sqft) has been used as such year-round office, in all seasons, climate controlled by a portable unit that stays with the home. All of that, with those striking mountain views, and in one of the most coveted neighborhoods in Tucson. Please note: square footage as derived from Floor Plan vendor calculates to just over 2999 sqft, rounded up to 3000sqft for marketing purposes. Buyer to verify any/all measurements and living area calculations if material.
