Located in the highly desirable Rillito Bend neighborhood, this exceptional Santa Fe-style residence captures timeless Southwestern design and thoughtful artistry. Set on a corner lot within an intimate community of only 36 homes, the quiet setting enjoys no through traffic. Inside, exposed beamed vaulted ceilings, Saltillo tile, wood floors, and clerestory windows create warmth and character. The great room with fireplace flows via French doors to the family room with custom built-ins, ideal for gatherings. A split floor plan offers privacy. The spacious primary suite features a large walk-in closet with built-ins, private patio access, a generous bath with a nicely sized walk-in shower, and a bonus room perfect for an office, sewing room, or nursery. The dining area and remodeled kitchen are truly special. Decorative wainscoting in the dining room was inspired by Hacienda Del Sol, and blue tones flow seamlessly into the kitchen backsplash, echoing the nearby Rillito River bend. The kitchen features knotty alder cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and soft-close drawers. Lovely mountain views from the dining table make mornings and evenings memorable.

Outdoor spaces are equally thoughtful. Both the front and backyard feature engineered rainwater catchment basins designed to nourish trees and plants. The fully enclosed backyard offers mature desert landscaping, native and specimen cacti, shade trees, abundant birdlife, a designated dog run, and a concrete slab ready for a future hot tub. Stacked stone cairns guide visitors to the home, while a sun motif accents the double metal gate and patio. Evenings are best enjoyed dining outdoors under the covered porch.

The south-facing orientation fills the home with cheerful winter sunlight, while shade trees help cool the home during warmer months. A two-car garage provides convenience and storage. Community amenities include a pool, basketball court, and playground, rare offerings for a neighborhood of this size.

The location truly stands out. Enjoy easy access to Rio Vista Natural Resource Park and the Rillito Loop, offering miles of walking and biking paths, scenic trails, and a peaceful labyrinth. The Tucson Racquet and Fitness Club is nearby, and horses and riders are often seen along the Rillito wash and at the local boarding facility, offering a rare rural feel in the heart of the city. Walk or bike to boutique shopping, restaurants, Gadabout Salon, Trader Joe's, and St. Philip's Plaza. Friendly neighbors and a welcoming sense of community complete the experience.

This is a rare opportunity to own a home that feels artistic yet grounded, peaceful yet connected - an authentic expression of Tucson living.
