On a Cul-de-Sac Backing Greenbelt, a Home Made for Hosting and Slow Mornings Picture a Friday night in Ponderosa Trails: dinner going on the Wolf range, friends drifting out onto the decks, and the greenbelt right behind the yard. This Keepsake Homes Craftsman sits on a quiet cul-de-sac with five bedrooms, three baths, and 2,485 square feet, including a main-level bedroom with its own full bath. That main-level bedroom is a rare find in Ponderosa Trails. Guests can settle in on their own floor with their own bathroom, no stairs required. The kitchen is made for a crowd. A Sub-Zero refrigerator, KitchenAid dishwasher, and Kohler sink with a pro faucet back up that Wolf range and hood. The multi-level decks give everyone room to spread out, with Mount Elden in view from the back dec Upstairs, the primary suite has its own private deck for coffee the next morning. When snow falls, mix up some hot cocoa and warm up around one of two luxurious fireplaces - one in the living room and one in the family room. A gas insert and a log lighter makes getting fires going easy. The primary bathroom was designed like a Japanese spa. After a day at Arizona Snowbowl, warm up in the built-in sauna, cool off under the shower's bucket filler, then sink into the clear Alaskan yellow cedar soaking tub, filled to the rim so it spills over the way a Japanese soak should. Radiant floors, a heated bench, and a heated towel rack take the edge off cold mornings, and the remodeled upstairs secondary bathroom has radiant floors too. The office has a built-in floating desk for workdays at home. A Rinnai tankless water heater keeps the hot water coming, whole-house filtration covers every tap, and after the summer monsoons, the 1,100-gallon rainwater catchment system can water your garden. The cul-de-sac backs to the greenbelt, so the neighborhood trails are right there for morning dog walks, and Ponderosa Trails Park is in view from the deck. The 600 sf unfinished walk-out lower level is reached from the yard and has a concrete slab. It isn't counted in the square footage, and its outside door makes it easy to roll bikes and skis in and out. Two-car garage. The HOA is just 218 dollars/year, and short-term rentals are allowed in this section of the neighborhood, so renting it out while you travel is an option.
