A beautiful New England style ranch  home set on an acre of prime central Arizona real estate, this property has wonderfully unimpeded views of 9000' Mingus mountain and the red rocks of the Mogollon Rim, with the verdant Verde Valley stretching out before you. The bright and open single level floor plan is perfect for entertaining or just taking in the quiet beauty of the desert landscape. Indoors: A flagstone walk leads you from the rock circular drive to the front entrance. Entering the front door you step into a large foyer - to the right is the large sunken living room, to the left is the dining room floored with applewood laminate perfect for displaying your beautiful dining room furnishings. These rooms, done in cool light colors, feature large picture windows with views of the valley and the fully landscaped front yard. A Henry Miller spinet piano is available for anyone interested. Beyond the foyer, the heart of the house is the great room, encompassing a spacious kitchen, family room, breakfast nook and adjacent laundry room/bathroom/pantry. Large double pane windows look out on the west patio and flower beds beyond - it's easy to watch the wildlife go by from the comfort of your armchair or breakfast table. Recently remodeled, the kitchen features the simple, elegant lines of warm alder wood accented cabinetry and rich, dark quartz stone counters. We chose quartz for it's superior stain resistance, making it an ideal kitchen surface. A cooking island with black glass electric stove top and wall mounted oven give easy access and leave plenty of counter space. Adjacent to the kitchen is the large family room, the centerpiece of which is a beautiful twenty foot long custom wall unit which includes an entertainment center, bookshelves, computer nook, and storage. In the center of this is a woodburning fireplace with raised hearth tiled to match the ceramic tile flooring used throughout the great room. One side of the room was designed to accomodate a pool table.

Separated from the living areas by a hallway floored in more matching laminate is the master suite and guest bedroom. The master suite includes a high-ceilinged sleep area, and a huge bath with jacuzzi tub, tiled step-in shower, cultured marble double basin counters and large walk-in closet, Through an archway, an adjacent room is adaptable as a computer room, office, exercise room or nursery. A cedar lined window seat looks out to a flagstoned sitting area of the patio. The large guest room is adjacent to the guest bath with its tub shower and cultured marble sink top. Both the guest room and master bedroom have upgraded carpet in a neutral tone. Outdoors: To the west, the backyard is enclosed by a Santa Fe style stucco wall and contains raised beds of flowers, shrubs and mature trees. A partially shaded patio, floored with 800 sqft of porcelain tile in red rock tones, has ample area for BBQ and lawn furniture.
