Immaculately Maintained Hidden Gem in Flecha Caida Ranch Estates! Tucked away in the heart of the prestigious Catalina Foothills - within one of Arizona's most sought-after school districts- this immaculately maintained burnt adobe residence is a rare opportunity to own a truly private desert retreat in the exclusive Flecha Caida Ranch Estates. Set back from the street on a charming private drive, this multi-level home sits on a generously sized lot and offers the ideal blend of tranquility, flexibility, and modern upgrades. The main residence boasts four spacious bedrooms, all thoughtfully located on the upper level to enhance privacy, while the separate guest Casita provides the perfect accommodation for visiting guests or a lucrative opportunity for rental income. This versatile space has been successfully rented in the past with 30-day minimum leases ideal for traveling nurses or seasonal visitors. Step inside the main house and experience a property that has been thoughtfully upgraded over the years. Major improvements include a new roof (2023), a high-efficiency HVAC system (2022), and a new water heater (2024), ensuring comfort and reliability for years to come. The guest Casita has also benefited from a roof replacement in 2023, and a dedicated AC unit installed in 2018, making it a self-sufficient and inviting space. The home is filled with thoughtful touches and high-quality upgrades throughout. The kitchen, dining room, living room, and all four bedrooms have been outfitted with elegant vinyl flooring (2021). The primary suite features new windows, while the office also enjoys enhanced natural light thanks to its window upgrades. One of the guest bedrooms has a recently added air-conditioning system, further enhancing comfort. The laundry room, guest bathroom, and master bath have all been tastefully updated featuring new toilets, a Jacuzzi tub, Carrera marble vanity, new tile, and a stylish pedestal sink. Entertain or relax in the beautifully refurbished Arizona room, or take in panoramic mountain views of both the majestic Catalinas and western ranges from nearly every angle of the home. The upper and lower deck railings were completely repainted and updated in early 2025, perfect for enjoying the desert sunset or morning coffee in peace. The exterior is equally impressive with extensive updates including new drainage infrastructure on the east side, a new sprinkler system, a replaced front door with a flagstone landing, and a new garage door. The guest Casita has also been brought up to fire code standards with new bedroom windows, and showcases new tile throughout the bedroom and bathroom. One of the most notable upgrades offering long-term peace of mind is the complete plumbing renovation, including new sleeves installed within the original piping an invaluable improvement rarely found in homes of this vintage. This tri-level floorplan offers both function and charm, featuring all four bedrooms upstairs, living, kitchen, and dining on the main level, and a cozy lower-level family room with a fireplace ideal for gatherings or relaxing evenings. Nestled in the quiet foothills, this property enjoys the benefits of a voluntary HOA at just $85/year, offering light CCR enforcement without the restrictions of a typical subdivision. This is a home that truly offers it all privacy, character, modern enhancements, and income potential at an aggressive price point. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence or a long-term investment in one of Arizona's most desirable ZIP codes, this is an opportunity you don't want to miss. Schedule your private showing today and experience this exceptional desert sanctuary firsthand.
