Magical by night and serene by day! This is how I describe this well cared for eclectic home in Rio Rico. Close to I-19 and 10 minutes south of Tubac! This home is surrounded by majestic mountain ranges and super views from the back yard of the picturesque Tumacacori Mtns. From the time you enter the quaint courtyard your senses are pleased with lovely flowers beds, plantings, flagstone and a unique water feature. Enjoy sunrise with your coffee in your quiet and peaceful courtyard or sunset with a cool drink at the end of the day when the sun slips behind the mountains. The rear yard is quite large and would easily accommodate a pool. The entire home is enclosed with corrugated metal fencing on both sides and connected by a rustic wrought iron fence with gate and stairs to the lower level. This gives you plenty of privacy and safety without blocking your views and ability to watch the local wildlife that resides in our hillsides. The corrugated fencing has two sliders for entrance to the rear yard. One side has storage for the propane tank and garbage cans, the other side has a lean to for xtra storage. The owner tells me the neighborhood is very homogenous and has frequent gatherings, so making friends should be easy if you are a social butterfly. The home was completely gutted and remodeled by the current owner and beautiful it is. Turkish Travertine flooring, Brazilian Granite counter tops, all the light fixtures and kitchen cabinets were especially made for this home. In the master bath there is a separate shower with river rock floor, a Jacuzzi tub with heater so your bathwater will never get cold and the countertops are river rock with marble washbowls. The hall shower floor is also made of river rock with accents of same and granite counter top with stone washbowl. The kitchen has top of the line Kitchen Aid appliances including a 6 burner gas stove, wine cooler and a small service sink built into the island. Pull outs were built into the kitchen cabinets and are tri level. The hallway has two built in bookshelves for the avid reader. Home has split bedroom plan and a guest house outside. The guest house could be used for guests or as an Air B&B as it has its own entrance from the street. It has a full bath with Jacuzzi tub and ample closet, plus tile work for that "Spanish" touch, a small refrigerator and sink. The owner obtained a variance from the county to add an additional 15 feet to the guest house and that variance will convey with the property. Owner will also include in the sales price the vacant lot adjacent to the west of the home which is 1.69 acres for a total of 2.29 acres. HVAC and water heater are two years old and owner installed Anderson 3 paned windows and sliding glass doors. The home is well insulated! There is an Ecco Brand water softener for the entire home plus a water filtration system under the kitchen sink. The property has an alternate septic system and is in good working condition. When the owner bought this home it was wood frame 2X4 stucco finish, so she had it brought up to code and it's now 2X6 frame with stucco finish. Garage has a new rustic style door and opener and plenty of storage space.The home is simply lovely, comfortable, colorful and well cared for. It is a one of a kind beautiful and picturesque home. All the furnishings with the exception of a few items are available on SBOS.
