Perched on 4.32 acres in the lush Tanque Verde Valley surrounded by natural desert Mid-century-modern home featuring circle driveway, desert island, deep N-facing porch, abundant skylights and 360-degree views - and that is just the introduction The backyard has a wide selection of entertainment or relaxation options -- a basketball half court (at bottom of photo), a built-in BBQ, a large pool with diving board, a firepit, many pathways, ponds and seating are strategically placed around the property. The private home is situated at the back of this long gated driveway From the front patio looking through and around the desert island to natural desert, additional parking (and an RV hook-up) to natural desert and the Catalina & Rincon mountains beyond. The NW corner of the circle drive-way provides a nice view of the horizontal lines and burnt adobe block of the home. The inset Tom Gist custom-designed front door sets the stage for entering this one-of-a-kind home. The front door leads to this welcoming foyer which displays many mid-century modern features (including gleaming Philippine "ribbon" mahogany wood. The Foyer leads to this grand view of the primary living areas which display the wood-burning fireplace, exposed burnt adobe walls, rich mahogany wood, custom-made lighting and furniture pieces. Skylights are located from the kitchen all the way through the kitchen, dining room, and living room; the AZ Room and its' window wall are to the right of the picture. This is the AZ Room, open to the living room and windows looking out to the patio, gardens and recreation areas beyond. In the AZ room, the wood ceiling is visible - built-in bookcases are beyond the seating area, and the living room is to the right in this picture. The dining room looks out to the patio and gardens beyond. A built-in passthru - and storage areas that are accessible from both the kitchen and dining room allow for easy communication and efficient serving. This is the passthru from the kitchen. The kitchen side of the passthru also functions as a breakfast bar. These cabinets were all custom-built on-site - they are pristine mahogany. Many of the cabinets have pullouts. Countertops are Corian. The kitchen features chef-pleasing Dacor gas range, and a Bosch convection/conventional oven, warming oven and a pantry. There is even a pullout wastecan cabinet. The combo Utility Room/Butler's Pantry consists of a 2nd oven, 2nd refrigerator, additional sink and counter, another pantry, Samsung Smart top-loading washer & gas dryer and a Rinnai on-demand gas water heater The 700+sqft Master Bedroom/Bathroom Suite consists ot a built-in gas fireplace, adjoining bedroom/sitting room/office/nursery, bathroom with double shower and double vanity w/"period" tile, built-in mahogany cabinetry, multiple closets (1 walk in), French doors open to covered patio, east-facing iconic Gist clerestory windows, Gist built-in king-size mahogany headboard with integrated lighting A better view of the clerestory windows and king-size headboard with integrated electrical. A view of the master walk-in closet. The master bath vanities maintain their mid-century tile. The bathroom also includes a "double shower". This bedroom has it's own closet but also has an entrance into the master closet. It is currently utilized as an office but would also be a wonderful nursery, exercise room, reading room, or "just a bedroom". Excellent views of the Catalina mountains are enjoyed by this bedroom, as well as two other bedrooms. This bedroom is located just down the hall (to the left) of the front door. Also on the North side of the house, it too has fabulous views. This bedroom is to the right of the front door. It currently houses a Murphy bed. And there are those mountains. It is located next to the hall bathroom, with its own door into the bathroom -- very "suite-like". The hall bath (with a 2nd door into the previous bedroom) is very "zen-like". the 1st room is the mid-century vanity. It then opens into the commode area and followed by an "open" overhead shower and clawfoot tub. The rooms are separated by a lovely etched glass door. There is a closer view of the claw-foot tub. The library is just beyond the living room. Reading is enhanced with built-in seating and a ladder to access a book on the highest shelf. This room is currently used as a TV watching room. But, it has also functioned as an artist studio -- a perfect use with the abundant north lighting. Once upon a time, this room was used as a business office -- the French doors, leading to the front patio, provide a 2nd entrance to the home. Near the TV room (and exercise room, sauna and guest room) is this lovely bathroom. The pedestal sink and commode are in the 1st area, followed by a clawfoot tub and shower; a private garden just beyond creates a relaxing atmosphere. The door to the private garden is seen in this picture - along with the tub and shower. An etched glass door provides separation between the two sections of the bathroom. This guest bedroom is set at the far west end of the home. It's external door leads out to the gardens. The exercise room is equipped with mirrors and even provides some additional closet storage. Next to the exercise room is the sauna. The back patio is accessed from the master bedroom, dining room and AZ room. It, too, includes a gas fireplace - as well as overhead fan. Looking back at the patio - the master bedroom doors are at the right of the picture -- look left all the way to and past the AZ room. Another view of the patio to the right, some of the landscape and hardscape and the pool area to the left. This picture shows some of the landscaping & hardscaping, pool (at right of the picture), and the AZ room with its deep overhang. It's party time -- light up the BBQ, jump in the pool and enjoy the twinkling stars overhead. A better view of the pool and back patio. From the pool and looking toward some of the gardens - note the diving board. Here is the firepit, placed near seating and cobblestone paths. From the west end of the backyard looking back toward the pool. Entering the NW corner of the back yard toward the "secret garden" (also known as the dog's garden) and the external entrance into the West-end guest bedroom. This is the "secret garden" - the distant doorway actually leads to the front driveway of the home. The structure at the right of the photo is a workshop/storage room. At the left of the photo is another picture of the workshop/storage room also showing its ramp and large door. New epoxy floor. Built-in cabinetry and at the right of the photo is a secured closet. This is your opportunity to "live the Tucson lifestyle" - open skies, twinkling stars, brilliant sunsets, radiant sunrises, and mountain views on the private 4.32 acre lot -- in a mid-0century suburban ranch home designed and built by Tom Gist -- intact, maintained, and enhanced.
