Stunning rammed earth home in the desirable wooded hills of Casas Arroyo De Sonoita. The custom 3198 s.f.*, 4 bedroom/2 bath, tri-level home, constructed in 1995 by architect/builder Tom Wuelpern, owner of PureBuild Homes in Tucson, has been completely updated and remodeled with classic touches and attention to detail by the current owner. Chef's kitchen includes custom, maple KraftMaid cabinetry; oversized island with white quartz countertop and breakfast bar; stainless steel KitchenAid appliances; 36" gas range; double wall ovens with Even-heat True Convection; Bosch dishwasher; and under-counter drawer microwave. Burnished concrete flooring in kitchen/dining area is easy to clean and adds a warm glow. Adjacent to the kitchen/dining area, a passive solar room offers an area for relaxing, reading, and conversation with a wall of windows bringing in the natural beauty of the area. The main-level Master Suite steps out to a private balcony with views of oak-studded hills and Mt Wrightson. Ensuite includes a freestanding soaking tub, walk-in shower, double sink and private toilet room. Two bedrooms, a full bathroom, storage closet and a bonus room are located on the upper floor. The downstairs space includes the 4th bedroom/office, the family room with a new pellet stove to create a warm, cozy space and walkout access to the back porch and yard. Large windows throughout create a bright, open feel, and skylights and windows in the upper floor were intentionally placed to capture the phases of the moon. Current owners also upgraded the heating and cooling system with a quiet, efficient Bosch 5-ton heat pump and installed a Reme Halo whole home in-duct air purification system in 2021. A detached rammed earth, 2-car garage is large enough for full-sized trucks, room for storage and a work area with 50-amp service.
