Five acres, a welcoming home, a separate casita and room for horses give this Wickenburg property plenty of ways to fit your life. From its hilltop setting, the view takes in rugged hills, distant mountains and, after dark, the city lights. Late afternoon is a favorite time here, when long tree shadows cross the gravel, the brick warms in the sun and the sky puts on its own show. The house feels right at home in the desert. Exposed brick, original wood flooring in the living room, ceiling beams and built-in cabinetry bring warmth and character, while skylights and broad windows let in plenty of light. The long living room and window-lined Arizona room each have a fireplace, so there's room to settle in whether the evening calls for a smaller gathering or a full house. The main home offe 2,707 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The separate 680-square-foot casita adds a bedroom and bathroom of its own, giving guests or extended family a comfortable place to stay. Recent improvements include flooring, paint, trim, doors and lighting, newer kitchen appliances, replaced water heaters, roof sealing and exterior paint. The property also has three-phase, 200-amp power, updated irrigation and exterior water lines, plus improvements to the private well connections. Three garage spaces leave room for vehicles and projects, and the RV pad and hookup are ready for visiting company with their own accommodations. Horses are permitted, and there's no HOA. With five acres to work with, the property offers room to shape the land around what you want to do here. The sunsets may be what catch your eye first, but the home's character, the separate casita and the flexibility of the acreage give you plenty to appreciate after the light fades.
