Property Description

Your Flagstaff mountain lifestyle begins here. Imagine waking up to the gentle sway of towering ponderosa pines, sipping your morning coffee surrounded by nature, and ending your day with a restorative sauna or a cozy evening by the fire. Tucked into the highly sought-after University Heights neighborhood, this beautifully reimagined 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence offers a rare combination of peaceful forest living, thoughtful design, and everyday convenience. Lovingly transformed through an extensive three-year renovation, the home effortlessly blends the warmth and character of mountain living with modern sophistication. Sunlit living spaces invite you to slow down, gather with loved ones, and enjoy the changing seasons, while a newly installed high-efficiency mini-split heat pump and air conditioning system--an uncommon luxury in Flagstaff--provides comfort throughout the year. Designed for both connection and retreat, the home features two generous ensuite primary bedrooms, offering exceptional flexibility for hosting guests, multigenerational living, or creating your own private sanctuary. The lower-level suite feels like a personal wellness retreat, complete with a custom sauna where you can unwind after a day on the trails or slopes. A separate den offers endless possibilities, whether you envision a quiet home office, creative studio, fitness space, or cozy movie room. At the heart of the home, a beautifully refreshed kitchen sets the stage for everything from leisurely weekend breakfasts to memorable evenings entertaining friends. All 3.5 bathrooms have been completely renovated with elegant European-inspired finishes, while thoughtful improvements throughout--including new baseboards and an upgraded main electrical panel--bring added comfort and peace of mind. Outside, the magic of Flagstaff truly comes to life. Set on a spacious 10,307-square-foot lot, the property offers room to relax, entertain, and reconnect with nature beneath the pines. A newly installed fence provides additional privacy, while the backyard opens directly to protected forested open space, creating a peaceful natural backdrop with no future homes to interrupt the view. And while home may feel like a secluded mountain escape, the best of Flagstaff is wonderfully close. Spend your mornings exploring nearby trails, afternoons browsing downtown's local shops and cafés, and winter weekends skiing at Arizona Snowbowl. With Northern Arizona University, dining, shopping, and outdoor recreation just minutes away, this is a home that makes it easy to embrace everything that makes Flagstaff special. More than a beautifully renovated home, this is an invitation to live a little differently--closer to nature, surrounded by comfort, and inspired by the beauty of Northern Arizona. Owner/Agent.
