Gracefully positioned at the terminus of a quiet cul-de-sac within the distinguished, guard-gated community of Catalina Foothills 10, this private residence rests atop a 1.9-acre hilltop, commanding unobstructed vistas of the Catalina Mountains by day and a tapestry of city lights by night. Rooted in the regional architectural vernacular and inspired by the enduring soul of San Miguel de Allende, the home reflects a studied balance of old-world romance and regional expression. Approached by a gently winding paver drive, the home reveals itself through a formal motor court that opens onto an enchanting entry courtyard, centered by a tiered fountain and framed by an outdoor fireplace. The architecture unfolds in a classic central courtyard configuration, allowing nearly every principal room to engage with the outdoors through deep, shaded portals and view-framing arcades.
Spanning 3,349 square feet, the residence is a testament to thoughtful craftsmanship and timeless materials. Hand-hewn mesquite cabinetry, vibrant Talavera tilework, and exposed wood beams lend an air of authenticity, while every room is imbued with natural light and quiet grandeur. The interiors offer four bedrooms plus a dedicated office, arranged in a split plan to provide both privacy and harmony of flow.
At the heart of the home lies a warm and welcoming kitchen, anchored by a center island and a hearth-style fireplace. This gathering space opens effortlessly to a charming breakfast nook and a sun-kissed BBQ terrace, where meals and moments spill gracefully outdoors. The adjacent living and dining spaces are equally inviting, scaled for both quiet evenings and entertaining alike.
The primary suite occupies its own distinct wing, designed as a serene retreat that balances openness with privacy. A fireplace anchors the space, providing warmth and a subtle focal point without overpowering the calm atmosphere. Direct access to the spa creates a seamless connection between indoor comfort and outdoor relaxation. Adjacent, a custom library or study offers a quiet, well-lit workspace that supports both reflection and productivity. Generous in scale yet restrained in detail, the suite reflects a considered approach to living, where every element is intentional, materials are authentic, and a sense of calm prevails.
Situated on the opposite end of the residence, the secondary bedroom wing unfolds with an air of quiet grace, thoughtfully arranged around a flexible central room that invites relaxation, study, or intimate gatherings. Each of the two bedrooms opens directly onto its own private courtyard, a secluded outdoor sanctuary defined by stucco walls and lush landscaping, where morning light filters gently through leafy canopies and cool breezes stir the air. These courtyards, extending the living space beyond walls, embody the seamless indoor-outdoor living so integral to the Spanish Colonial tradition. The bedrooms themselves are generously proportioned, with tall windows and doors that frame serene views and invite the natural world in. This wing offers a harmonious balance of privacy and connection, creating a peaceful retreat for family or guests alike.
A rare offering of architectural integrity and enduring charm, this residence is more than a home, it is a legacy property, artfully composed and ideally situated within one of Tucson's most esteemed communities.
