A Freshly Updated Retreat with Mountain Views This Tesoro Premiere Series home was just refreshed in August 2026 -- new interior and exterior paint, with kitchen and butler's pantry cabinets freshly painted, and upgraded lighting fixtures throughout. It's move-in ready, with nothing waiting on a to-do list. Set on an elevated, large lot with sweeping mountain views and east/west exposure, the home opens into 9' and 11' ceilings, tall doors, and crown molding accents that make the 2,621 square feet feel bigger than the number suggests. There are no interior steps to navigate, extra wall insulation keeps things quiet, and ceramic tile runs from room to room without a break. The kitchen is the kind you'd actually want to cook in -- a big island, granite counters, a tile backsplash, and a separate butler's pantry with a subway tile backsplash and floating shelves for the coffee station or the good china. In the evenings, the great room's stacked-stone fireplace and a bar area with a wine fridge make it easy to fall into a routine of good light and quiet company. Two bedrooms, both en suite, mean guests get their own space, and a separate powder room keeps things easy for visitors. The primary suite includes a soaking tub, separate shower, dual granite vanities, and a spacious walk-in closet, with a separate walk-in coat closet nearby for extra storage. Step outside and the pergola-covered patio does double duty: a built-in BBQ and pizza oven make outdoor cooking easy, a mounted TV keeps game nights covered, shades take care of the afternoons, and turf with desert landscaping on drip irrigation mean less yard work, not more. The garage runs deep enough for two cars plus a golf cart, with extra room for storage. This is SaddleBrooke Ranch -- a gated, 55+ community built around actually using your time well: golf, pickleball, tennis, a lake, a pool, a putting green, and walking trails, all a short ride from your own front door.
