The story
The Catalina Mountains rise beyond the ninth fairway of the Palmer Course, giving this Starr Pass home a view that shifts as the light moves across the landscape throughout the day. From the brick paved patio, the green of the course meets a landscape of saguaros, mesquite, and desert hills before the eye reaches the distant ridgeline of the Catalinas. The outlook is just as compelling from inside, where tall windows frame the fairway and mountains from the main living spaces and primary suite. As daylight fades, Tucson's lights emerge across the valley, giving the home a second, entirely different view after dark. Inside, the single level plan offers approximately 2,383 square feet with three bedroom suites and three and a half baths. An arched entry leads to a living room centered on a fireplace. Beyond it, the kitchen, dining area, and family room share an open arrangement, with tall windows and glass doors connecting these spaces to the patio. A separate sitting room, distinguished by its recessed ceiling and tall windows, offers a quieter place to gather or work. The primary suite is oriented toward the view. A vaulted ceiling gives the room a sense of space, while windows and a door to the patio keep the mountains and fairway close at hand. The bath has two vanities, a seated dressing area, a soaking tub, and a separate shower, with glass block windows bringing in soft natural light. The two additional bedrooms each have a private bath with an updated vanity, allowing guests to settle in comfortably. Recent improvements include new flooring in all three bedrooms, interior paint, updated baseboards, lighting and bath finishes, and oil rubbed bronze hardware. The owners have also addressed the fascia and installed a replacement water heater and water filtration system. A two car garage completes the home. Starr Pass brings golf and resort dining close to home, while the nearby trailhead connects to the hiking and mountain biking routes of Tucson Mountain Park. Downtown Tucson, the University of Arizona, and the city's restaurants and galleries are a convenient drive away.
