Property Description

Designed by renowned University of Arizona Architecture Professor William Stamm, this architecturally significant two-story contemporary is a remarkable expression of desert modernism, privately situated on nearly an acre in coveted Skyline Bel Air Estates. Expansive floor-to-ceiling walls of glass capture breathtaking Catalina Mountain views, sparkling city lights, and the beauty of the surrounding Sonoran Desert. Offering approximately 3,528 square feet, this distinctive residence features 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, dramatic living spaces, an upper-level terrace, resort-style pool, and detached casita. Stamm's visionary design blends timeless architecture with exceptional indoor-outdoor living, creating a home as captivating as its setting. Inside, rich oak hardwood and marble flooring create a beautiful balance of warmth and sophistication. The spacious family room opens directly to the covered patio and pool through expansive sliding glass walls, allowing the indoor and outdoor living areas to flow effortlessly together. Generous living spaces provide comfort and versatility for everyday living and entertaining, while track lighting throughout the main living areas offers flexibility for displaying artwork. The kitchen features polished stone countertops, white cabinetry, and beautiful views overlooking the pool and natural desert landscape. Whether preparing meals or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, the surrounding scenery provides a peaceful backdrop. The spacious primary suite offers a private retreat with a sitting room, walk-in closet, and generously sized full bathroom. Two additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests. A dramatic great hall adds extraordinary versatility, offering possibilities for a media lounge, art gallery, billiards room, fitness studio, or additional entertaining space. Upstairs, an inviting living room centered around a fireplace provides a comfortable gathering space, while the private upper-level terrace showcases panoramic Catalina Mountain views and dazzling city lights. From spectacular sunsets to the illuminated Tucson skyline, this elevated outdoor setting offers an exceptional place to relax or entertain. The detached casita provides approximately 490 square feet of independently accessed flexible space, ideal for guests, a home office, or creative studio. The casita is not currently permitted as an ADU through Pima County. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence regarding permitting eligibility, requirements, and allowable uses. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a resort-style pool, covered patio, and multiple areas to enjoy Tucson's beautiful climate. Set amid nearly an acre of natural Sonoran Desert landscape, the property offers exceptional privacy and frequent sightings of deer, bobcat, javelina, and an extraordinary variety of native birds. The home's distinctive architectural character is reflected in Stamm's thoughtfully rotated floor plan, clean stucco forms, and striking flat roofline. Signature details, including the redwood garage door and cobalt awning, complement the contemporary design, while the expansive glass rear elevation creates a striking architectural presence. Located within the highly acclaimed Catalina Foothills Unified School District and just minutes from La Encantada, premier dining, world-class golf, hiking trails, medical facilities, and Tucson's cultural attractions, this extraordinary property offers an exceptional combination of privacy, natural beauty, and everyday convenience in one of the Catalina Foothills' most desirable settings.
