Supplements: For those who know the neighborhood, and how great living in Canada Hills can be (so close to conveniences and the fantastic Oro Valley Community Center), it will not be lost on them how great an opportunity this home is. An opportunity for buyers who need all the space, and want to enjoy every bit of it indoors and out. Between the spacious front room and dining space, with their soaring ceilings, and the sprawling kitchen and adjoining "family" room, it's a layout well-suited to hosting as many as you care to have at once (or just enjoy on your own). With stainless steel appliances, plenty of counter space along three lengths, a center island with prep sink, and a breakfast bar long enough to seat 5 or 6, this is the kind of kitchen where one could see several cooks working at once without issue. A pantry and plenty of cabinets provide abundant storage (...and don't miss the wine chiller/fridge under the counter!) Across from the breakfast bar counter there's a wet bar / coffee station, too, which lessens the traffic in the kitchen. There's also a spacious breakfast nook, large enough to seat 5 or 6, with a great view through bay windows to the pool, golf course, and the unbeatable views of Pusch Ridge to the east. As ideal a spot to watch the sun come up in the morning with a cup of coffee as it is to eat dinner and watch the mountains turn pink. It's not often that one finds a home like this with 5 bedrooms plus an office, while also enjoying mountain views and without any immediate rear neighbor. That office, well sited on the northeast side of the home, overlooks the pool and fills with morning sun. Opening to the pool deck through a slider door, and with two additional windows, it's easy to see why this is a favorite working space. It's also not hard to imagine it serving as a den, of sort, too, as the versatility of the floor plan allows for multi-generational living. The 5th bedroom, which neighbors the office at the end of the hall and sits across from a full guest bath, could be a great spot for a long-term or short-term stay by visiting friends or family. There's a large closet off that 5th bedroom, too, great for hosting. With the office room in use as a den, one could imagine this being a great place for a long-term guest to have their own "get-away" space. Alternately, for those who might not need it as a full-time office and who have a lot of traffic in and out of the pool in the summer time, the tiled room could also serve as a kids' or teen spot, adjacent to the downstairs bathroom so the main part of the house isn't the only path in and out to take a break from swimming. Up a grand staircase (with new carpet, like the front room), one finds a landing and hallway with hardy luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring opening to four large bedrooms. The primary bedroom retreat is a fantastic combination of space, privacy, and expansive views. LVP flooring continues in from the landing and upstairs hallway, through wide double doors to form a grand entrance. Stepping in, one's eye is immediately drawn to the deep green of the golf course, the brilliant mountain views beyond, and a superb feeling of light and volume. There's so much space here to enjoy, There's ample space here that could easily accommodate at least 3 functional furniture layouts, one need only decide where you'd like to enjoy your mountain views from (bedside, your own reading area, a treadmill or elliptical, a yoga mat...). A sliding patio door leads out to a large view deck. Well-sited on the east side, it's not only perfectly situated for impressive views of Pusch Ridge, but an ideal spot to watch the sunrise. Likewise, it's protected from late afternoon and evening sun, making it a truly special place from which to start and finish the day. It's not hard to imagine mornings here on this view deck watching the sun come up over the ridge, or unwinding at the end of the day as the mountains turn colors. No retreat like this would be complete without a bath like this, with two large walk-in closets, a long double+ vanity, a corner tub with mountain views, and a separate shower. Upstairs there are three bedrooms aside from the primary retreat, clustered around a wide center hallway space and sharing a bath. It's a great set up for those who need all three to be full-time bedrooms, or two as bedrooms and one as an additional office, den, exercise room, or lounge space. Each is large, with the front two stretching on the far side to include an area that overlooks the front yard and street through large windows, perfect for desks, a reading lounge set up, or a bed against the window. Those two front bedrooms, at approx 300 sqft each, each have walkouts to a second-floor exterior balcony. The balcony is large enough for a couple chairs and a cafe table, or even a small relaxing water feature on the deck or wall. A great little "extra" for those front two bedrooms to enjoy. The third of these upstairs bedrooms enjoys two windows and two closets, one a good-sized walk-in with built-in shelves on one side. The upstairs hall bath, shared by these three bedrooms, is smartly divided, with a double vanity on one side, of the door, and a shower/bath on the other. (It's impossible to avoid every morning-rush "family traffic jam" at the bathroom, but having a double vanity and a divided layout helps!). Outdoors, it's the Arizona half of "indoor/outdoor living" the way it ought to be, with the house and covered patio offering shade through the hottest months, a superb play pool for the summertime, and room enough under the shade for an outdoor living room and a grill. For the few months a year when it's too cold to swim, there's an in-ground spa heated by a gas unit around the side of the house, making the spa the perfect place to sit and watch the mountains turn their fall/winter evening colors. At one corner of the yard are two stand-out citrus trees (a Washington Navel Orange and a Rio Red Grapefruit), both of which have produced bumper crops of delicious oranges and grapefruits over the years. Around the south side of the house are a stand of brilliantly green specimen "Churee" cactus (Euphorbia Royleana), reflecting through the dining room window. And standing proudly against the east side of the home is one of the taller and more impressive fencepost cactus that one will see (reaching above even the upstairs bedroom window, at it's highest). Of course there's a spacious and functional laundry room, with a sink and built-in cabinets (and a laundry chute that drops down from the corner cabinet at the upstairs landing); and for a house of this size the must-have 3-car garage, with some additional space for projects and storage. Smartly done with the "third space" door on the far side, this garage is well-suited to be set up as 2-car plus a space for a hobby project, a home gym, or simply all the storage you need so you can finally say goodbye to that storage unit. Finally, one cannot overlook how convenient it is to be just a short walk, bike or cart-ride away from the Oro Valley Community Center. Featuring a Fitness Center, Pickleball, Pool, Tennis, Racquetball, and 18-holes of year-round Golf with Driving Range and Chipping/Putting Green, it's hard to overstate how much of a bonus feature this is to have in the neighborhood. At the back fence of the home there's a private locking gate through which one can walk down to the cart path and go via multiple routes to the Community Center. With activites and facilities that are accessible to members, but also on a "Drop-In" basis to non-members, having it within a half-mile walk of your home is hard to put a value on. From busy families with "all the kids" doing "all the sports", to couples and single folks enjoying a weekday morning workout, swim, or maybe finishing up on the driving range, this is the place.
