There is a particular kind of home that does not merely shelter its inhabitants — it elevates them. Tucked into one of Oro Valley’s most coveted enclaves, this stunning contemporary residence is precisely that kind of home: a property where $15,000 worth of integrated indoor-outdoor sound fills the air with music you choose, where the Catalina Mountains paint the morning horizon from your very own courtyard, and where the night sky — courtesy of Oro Valley’s legendary dark-sky ordinances — reveals the Milky Way to the naked eye.
Set within a beautifully curated 27-home neighborhood, where desert landscaping unifies the streetscape, this residence announces its intentions from the moment you arrive. The front yard, set in harmonious desertscape, opens to a medium-sized courtyard that greets the morning sun with quiet ceremony. Step inside and the home reveals itself in full: soaring 12-foot ceilings complemented with elegant niches and tray details, an open floor plan dressed in timeless neutral tones, and the kind of material selection that speaks of considered investment rather than passing trend.
“A property where the Catalinas paint your morning horizon and the Milky Way appears overhead each evening — this is Oro Valley living at its finest.”
The Smart Home
Comfort here is effortless by design. The home’s integrated smart technology platform touches every corner of daily life: Monogram’s top-tier appliance suite connects seamlessly to a dedicated app, allowing remote monitoring and control from anywhere in the world. The large picture windows in the great room showcase the views of the surrounding desert buffer and are fitted with remote-controlled coverings that adjust to any preferred setting at the touch of a button. Central vacuum service runs throughout the home and into the garage and workshop, a small luxury that adds up to enormous daily ease.
Custom storage solutions by Closet Trends have been woven throughout the entire home, ensuring that every square foot is as purposeful as it is beautiful. And silently overhead, sightless solar panels installed approximately three years ago now slash the annual electric bill by an impressive 60% – a sustainability credential that is as financially meaningful as it is environmentally conscientious.
Three of the bedrooms feature ensuites with the forth having direct access to the backyard and their private bathroom just steps away. The den (pictured above) is a perfect separate relaxing/entertaining spot with plenty of room for a sectional and small dining table, or could also be used as a game room, small fitness area or more.
The Garage – Highly Desirable and Hard To Find Insulated and Cooled
In a market where a four-car garage is already a rarity, this property takes the concept several steps further. The climate-controlled, fully insulated 4-car garage, a $20,000 upgrade, includes an additional 300 square feet of workshop and storage space, finished with Closet Trends cabinetry and countertops. A 50-amp Tesla charger and an industrial ice maker round out the upgrades. Whether envisioned as a home gym, pilates studio, golf simulator area, private workspace, or simply the ultimate car collector’s haven, this space is a canvas awaiting its next homeowner’s chapter.
Upgrade highlights: Climate-controlled 4-car garage with insulation ($20K upgrade) · Premium indoor-outdoor sound system ($15K) · Sightless solar panels reducing electric costs by 60% · Closet Trends custom storage throughout · 50-amp Tesla charger · Industrial ice maker
The Resort-Style Outdoor Oasis
If the interior is a masterclass in refined living, the backyard is its standing ovation. Neighboring homes disappear entirely because of the strategic positioning of the home and backyard, leaving the outdoor space as a wholly private sanctuary. The resort-style pool anchors the scene with four built-in bar stools, a sun shelf with umbrella seating, and a self-cleaning system. Come evening, a customizable light system, controlled entirely from your phone, transforms the water into a living canvas of color.
Six gas lines are pre-installed and ready for fire pits or tiki torches, with a dedicated hookup for a BBQ grill. An oversized covered patio extends the living season dramatically, and a motorized shade screen provides additional coverage at the touch of a button. The premium sound system and large television ensure that not a moment of the big game is missed, even from the pool.
