More -----> Hilltop Living in Gated Pontatoc Canyon Estates -- Panoramic City & Mountain Views Perched on an elevated hilltop lot in the gated community of Pontatoc Canyon Estates, 5562 N Paseo Pescado (Tucson, AZ 85718) commands sweeping city-lights and mountain views that run to the horizon. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath Territorial-style home offers 3,745 square feet of generous living space -- room to entertain on a grand scale, yet enough separation for everyone to spread out and claim their own quiet corner. A brick-paved private courtyard entry sets a gracious tone. Inside, vaulted ceilings, skylights, a wet bar and wine cellar, and a wood-burning fireplace in the living room create a relaxed, sophisticated atmosphere. The oversized 3-car garage -- with tandem parking, built-in cabinets, workshop and separate storage -- handles the cars, the gear, and the projects. There are no neighbors behind the home. It backs directly to a lush natural Sonoran Desert preserve with hiking and mountain-bike trails, and the wrap-around covered patio overlooks both the city and mature desert landscaping. The HOA maintains the front-yard landscaping, making this a genuinely low-care home for owners who'd rather be out living in the desert than maintaining it. Practical upgrades include owned solar, a tankless water heater, zoned heating and cooling, and a Catalina Foothills School District location (Sunrise Drive Elementary, Orange Grove Middle, Catalina Foothills High). The location is exceptionally convenient to golf, shopping, dining, and outdoor recreation. Live where the desert meets the skyline.
