Are you looking for the most spectacular red rock & forest view without a home or power line in sight? Look no further – you have found it! This private property defines the Sedona Lifestyle. Nature is your neighbor with the National Forest bordering the property on two sides. This single level Southwest style home has been skillfully renovated to take advantage of its million dollar vistas. The red rock views are varied and include some of the rocks that Sedona is famous for … Madonna-The Nuns and Cathedral, Submarine, Gibraltar, Bell & Courthouse Rocks.

You see distant and close-up red rock and forest views the moment you enter this privately gated residence. A long walkway on the north side of the property takes you past this “slump block style” home to the decorative wood front door. You enter this elegant home through a spacious foyer. Knotty alder wood doors compliment the décor everywhere. The floor plan is designed for flexible open living.

The living room is on the east side of the home off the front foyer. A very artistic rock fireplace with a rock mantle and hearth is at the heart of the living room. Cherry wood floors offer the perfect contrast. Every window frames a red rock view and there is an inside window that looks into the dining area.

The dining room and kitchen are to your right off the foyer. A wall of windows line the south side of the kitchen and dining room. They showcase the incredible elevated red rock and forest views. A wooden slider takes you to a beautifully landscaped, expansive patio for your enjoyment. This outdoor living space provides an important connection between the home and its surroundings.

The kitchen is a simple continuation of the dining room with an alligator juniper breakfast island that serves as the focal point. Custom alder cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and travertine flooring come together to create a pleasing aesthetic. There is also a walk-in pantry, two windows that look out to the front yard and a granite-topped built-in buffet. A two-shelf built-in with a granite countertop offers the perfect display. The walls of the living room, dining room, kitchen and owner’s suite are nicely faux finished.

The stainless steel appliances in the kitchen include a Thermador 4-burner gas cook top with a pop-up hood, GE Profile gas oven & microwave, Kitchen Aid Dishwasher and there is a custom GE Profile Built-in Refrigerator that is well hidden in the alder cabinets.

Cherry floors line the hallway that leads to the bedrooms, second bathroom, laundry room and garage. The hallway is spacious with high ceilings. The owner’s suite is a soothing retreat on the south side of the home.

Two steps take you down to the owner’s suite from the hallway. The owner’s suite offers wool carpeting. It opens to the back patio through glass doors and tall windows showcase myriad views. The wood tongue and groove ceiling is pleasing to the eye.

The owner’s suite bathroom is warm and inviting with noche travertine flooring in the shower, water closet and around the Jacuzzi tub. Enjoy a picture window with forest and red rock views of Courthouse and Bell Rock. The double Kohler sink vanity has a granite countertop and there is a water closet with a Kohler energy efficient toilet. The post and beams add an attractive Southwest flair. There is also a nice size walk-in closet.

The office/den is on the north side of the home. It offers wool carpet and has high ceilings and two windows that look out to the front yard. The second bedroom is on the same side of the hall and it has two windows along the north wall.

The second bathroom is on the north side of the home conveniently located between the second and third bedrooms. It features limestone countertops, cork covered walls, a Kohler sink and bathtub and three well placed windows on the north wall.

The laundry room is adjacent to the two-car garage at the end of the hall. It has a GE Profile washer & dryer and sink with a window on the north wall.
