Privately positioned behind the gates of La Paloma Estates, one of Tucson's most established enclaves, this quintessential custom Desert Contemporary by architect David Tyson offers a rare alignment of intentional design, natural context, and enduring quality. Framed by the Catalina Mountains, with sweeping city and skyline views, this 3,712-square-foot residence is defined by architectural clarity and spatial efficiency. Clean lines, curated materials, and a restrained palette underscore the home's commitment to design integrity, while its orientation and expansive glazing maximize light, views, and privacy. Four bedrooms and four bathrooms are arranged in a split bedroom plan to support both everyday functionality and separation of space. A 385-square-foot guest suite, complete with a private entrance, offers full autonomy for long-term guests, or separate office quarters, without compromising the flow of the primary residence.
Main living areas are organized around a central kitchen appointed with custom and contrasting millwork, Sub-Zero and Thermador appliances, and streamlined surfaces. Adjoining living and dining spaces connect seamlessly to the outdoors through oversized glass walls and French doors, supporting fluid transitions between the indoor experience and exterior environment. The primary suite is deliberately private, with plank wood flooring and a spa-inspired bath clad in honed travertine. The secondary bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned within the floor plan, ensuring privacy and functionality for family members, or guests alike. Each room is proportioned for comfort and includes well-appointed finishes consistent with the home's overall design ethos. The lower level expands the home's programming with a highly considered flex space, currently being utilized as a separate family room. Windows frame unobstructed Catalina mountain views, a glass-enclosed wine installation serves both aesthetic and functional roles, while integrated ceiling speakers and an east-facing private patio support use cases ranging from theater to studio to wellness.
Where this home truly shines is in its outdoor living experience, a seamless extension of the architecture and a reflection of the true Tucson lifestyle. Multiple covered patios wrap around the home, each capturing a different angle of light, shade, and view corridor depending on the time of day or season. The southern terrace is a showpiece, with deep covered overhangs offering generous shade while framing the private pool, elevated spa, and outdoor kitchen with built-in barbecue, ample prep space, and bar seating. Perched above it all, a rooftop deck offers a rarefied vantage, complete with a cozy fireplace and sweeping north-facing views of the iconic "Finger Rock" and the full expanse of the Catalina Mountain range. Whether hosting a sunset dinner party, lounging poolside, or enjoying a quiet morning with a coffee and mountain views, the outdoor spaces were designed to elevate every moment.
Offered within one of Tucson's most desirable and exclusive communities, residents enjoy walking-distance access to a Jack Nicklaus designed 27-hole championship golf course, eight hard and two clay tennis courts, seven pickleball courts, both a Junior Olympic-sized lap pool and a resort-style swimming pool, as well as state-of-the-art fitness facilities, offering a seamless balance of luxury living and active lifestyle.
