When the current owner, an Architectural Designer with Rob Paulus Architects saw this one owner Mid-Century Modern Ranch Home in 2016, he immediately recognized the potential and knew right away he could transform it into something spectacular! Transform it he did, and the end result is nothing short of perfection! Armed with exquisite good taste and a trained eye for modern design, the current owner embarked on a remodel that brought this 1963 Foothills home up to modern standards and finished it to a level of modern sophistication rarely seen in Tucson! As a native Tucsonan, the owner was also conscious of preserving the natural feel of the desert and was successful in bringing the outside in through large floor to ceiling windows that frame the desert landscape. When you start with a blank canvas, one's imagination can run wild, and when you turn an architectural designer loose on their own house, the possibilities are endless - and this one is sure to impress! One step inside the front door, you will appreciate the open sense of space highlighting beautiful large format porcelain tile floors, a fireplace w/marble hearth and the gourmet kitchen w/custom walnut cabinets, quartz countertops, Samsung smart stainless appliances and large island with an induction cooktop. Lutron Caseta smart lighting is found throughout the main living space and primary suite. Linked through an iPad, the owner can control all aspects of the home's lighting, music, heating & cooling, home security & kitchen appliances. This manageable and spacious floorplan offers 3 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms in the main residence and an attached 1 bedroom/1 bathroom guest casita w/private entrance. From the entry, living room & Primary Suite, you will find spectacular Catalina Mountain views towering above reminding you why we live here! With over 40 Saguaros on the property, the private backyard oasis features mature shade trees, lush desert plantings and an impressive number of the saguaros clustered together creating a beautiful backdrop for the proposed new pool location. A potential site plan for the property includes the location of a spa/pool and a large garage with a workshop or storage. This stunning Foothills masterpiece is conveniently located just 15 min from the UofA, UMC, downtown, and I-10 making it an ideal location.
