Looking for a true mountain escape without giving up convenience? This Ponderosa Park home offers privacy, space, and flexibility in one of Prescott's most loved forest communities.

Use it as a full time residence, a summer getaway to escape the heat, a vacation home for family and friends, or explore its potential as a short-term rental. With multiple living areas, private guest spaces, generous outdoor areas, and easy access features, the layout is well suited for both everyday living and hosting.The main level has a comfortable, open feel with a bright great room, wood-burning stove, LVP flooring, radiant in-floor heat, and plenty of windows that bring the forest setting inside. The updated kitchen is both functional and inviting, featuring newer cabinetry, a gas range, an oversized basin sink, and a large refinished island that gives everyone a place to gather.A sunroom just off the main living area adds another cozy spot to relax, read, work, or enjoy the views year round.
