''Casa de Los Quince Arcos''-a taste of Old Mexico and the spirit of a timeless Southwestern hacienda, nestled on 3.09 glorious and exceptionally private acres in the heart of Tucson's Catalina Foothills. From this elevated and secluded setting come sweeping vistas of the Tucson city lights, Catalina Mountains, Finger Rock, downtown Tucson, A Mountain and, on a clear day, distant Baboquivari Peak. Near Sunrise Drive and Craycroft Road, a long, winding driveway carries you far back and over a gentle rise, leaving traffic noise and the outside world behind. Here, beneath the Sonoran Desert sky, stands the ''House of Fifteen Arches.'' A broad, covered front porch beckons, with row upon row of rustic beams and planked ceilings, weathered Southwestern character and handsome Mexican iron light fixtures. Through the hand-carved, imported mahogany front door lies a lovingly restored Tucson treasure. The dramatic 28' X 25' "sala de estar" is filled with natural light through walls of windows, bringing the spectacular desert and mountain scenery indoors. The remodeled chef's "cocina" blends Southwestern warmth with modern convenience, offering granite countertops, a professional gas range and cooktop, and stainless-steel designer appliances. The kitchen opens to the inviting 21' X 16' "sala familiar," where beamed ceilings and a fireplace create a warm gathering place for family and friends. With 3,299 sq. ft., three bedrooms, three baths and a two-car garage, the home features remodeled baths, ceramic tile floors, generous built-ins, views from virtually every window, an epoxied garage floor, and freshly painted interiors and exteriors. Throughout, the architecture and finishes evoke the romance of an old Sonoran hacienda--casual, authentic and perfectly at home in the Tucson desert. Outside, an oversized walled backyard becomes your own private desert retreat, with a sparkling pool, meandering walkways and multiple intimate seating areas designed for long afternoons and starlit evenings. It is a place for "tu familia y amigos" to gather, linger and celebrate life over a margarita or a cerveza. If you're searching for contemporary styling and continental cuisine, look elsewhere. This is Tucson at its most colorful and authentic--a little Old Mexico, a little Sonoran Desert, and a whole lot of Southwestern soul.
