Some homes whisper ''welcome home.'' This one practically shouts it -- with a spacious back deck framing panoramic views of Mingus Mountain that'll make your morning coffee feel like a retreat and your evening glass of wine feel like a victory lap. Tucked on nearly half an acre in Cottonwood, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home gives you 1,807 square feet of solid, well-loved living space - built in 1987 and updated where it counts. The kitchen has been refreshed with new flooring and finishes, so you can skip the renovation stress and get straight to the good part. And that roof? Just 4 years old, so it's not going anywhere for a good long while. Outside, mature landscaping wraps the property in privacy and character - the kind you can't fake with a few starter shrubs. There's a two-car garage for the essentials, room to park an RV (with a little modification), and a backyard shed ready to swallow all the stuff you don't know where else to put. Oh, and natural gas runs straight to the property, because efficiency shouldn't be an afterthought. Half an acre. Mountain views. A kitchen that's ready to go. This one's got the goods -- come see for yourself.
