NW Tucson family friendly house with Catalina mountain views
Discover the warmth of Catalina Vista AZ. Immerse yourself in the tranquility of our private single-level home, embraced by the beauty of natural open spaces around you. Come enjoy the location; from sunrise to sunset, the Catalina mountains never disappoint. This Southwestern, family-oriented vacation rental is offered by a caring owner, not a management company. Situated north of downtown Tucson in a quiet neighborhood, this house provides the perfect mix of seclusion and convenience. While the setting is peaceful, you'll appreciate proximity to shopping, entertainment, dining and numerous outdoor opportunities including hiking and golf. Easy access and parking makes visiting a breeze.
Indoors you will find high ceilings, a spacious Primary Retreat with Arizona room, an eat-in kitchen with a breakfast bar and a formal dining room. The floor plan offers fantastic open areas while the bedrooms are private and peaceful. This bright, airy, and clean retreat welcomes you to dive in to reading a book, play a board game or chess or fire up some competition with a full-size ping-pong table available for guests’ use at the back of the oversized garage. High speed internet and smart TVs plus charging stations throughout the home allow you to be connected as needed. Catalina Vista AZ really is a gem.
THE DETAILS-- Four spacious bedrooms provide ample space for your stay. The primary bedroom features a king bed with comfortable linens and a large dresser, so you have room to unpack and unwind. This bedroom also features a smart TV, and a walk-in closet. The en-suite bathroom has plenty of storage and its own skylight. This bathroom has an updated massage shower head with handheld option, and bench for a relaxing walk-in shower experience. Retreat to the “Arizona Room,” your private area adjoining the primary bedroom, set up for your own yoga or weight training sessions. The second bedroom has a king bed and dresser. The third bedroom has twin beds in addition to a hand painted wall mural adding to the southwest decor. The fourth bedroom/den has a twin daybed with trundle and walk-in closet in addition to a basic desk and chair. Each bedroom has its own ceiling fan, closet, luggage rack, laundry basket, and charging station for your personal devices located on the bedside clock. These rooms are just off the full main bath which is bright and light due to another skylight. Our wireless home network provides free high-speed internet.
You will enjoy the inviting living space and high ceilings, with a one step sunken living room and ample seating with new leather couch and matching oversized swivel chairs, plus a reading nook. There is a new 65 inch 4K smart TV with Roku streaming. The Northeastern orientation of the living and dining rooms provides the best of early morning warmth and spectacular sunrise views of the mountains. The fourth bedroom/den can be a second seating area with use of the day bed. Ornamental fireplaces add charm to the décor, while the home uses heating and air conditioning units combined with ceiling fans in all of the living areas to keep you comfortable year round.
The chefs in your family will love the well-equipped kitchen, with solid surface countertops, new refrigerator and microwave, toaster, and full supply of pots/pans and cooking implements. We've even stocked some spices, oils, and condiments for your convenience. There is a separate coffee bar for your favorite coffee or tea preparation in the dining area with a carafe and pod brewer, and hot water kettle.
Extra hats, umbrellas, yoga mats, tennis rackets, children’s tennis rackets, pickle ball paddles and balls are available for guests.
The property has a laundry space with full sized washer and dryer units. Solar panels allow for an environmentally friendly visit supplying enough energy for the home and replenishing leftover power back to the community.
Outside, take advantage of the Arizona sun or relax and read under the shade structure in the enclosed patio outdoor room. On average, there are 286 sunny days per year in Tucson. Picture yourself sitting on the patio with panoramic views of the Catalina Mountains. Enjoy the Eastern horizon as the mountain shadows change into a tapestry of colors. The almost acre of land connects to large natural spaces where you'll see a variety of wildlife. In the evening, you can watch the Tucson lights and the sky come alive with beautiful sunsets that never disappoint.
