Ventana Canyon Two-Story Contemporary Sells for 950K

desert

Long Realty sold 6223 N Desert Moon Loop for 950K; it sold for 980K almost 3 years ago and then these Sellers did a very tasteful kitchen renovation after their purchase. Another sad case where the market on the luxury homes in Tucson just has not come back and in fact in some cases depreciated in the last few years.

This beautiful 18 year old two-story contemporary home sites on over a 1/2 acre and has 3,600+ square feet. Although two-story homes are harder to sell than one-story homes, it helps that this one has a first floor master bedroom. The views of the high Santa Catalinas and the Ventana Canyon Golf Course are beautiful.

Gated Hacienda Del Sol Estates Home Sold for $1,095,000

hacienda

It took 300 days for Long Realty to sell 4991 N Avenida De Castilla at $1,095,000. This is many times par for the course when selling homes that are priced over a million. The saddest part is that it sold for only 60K less 15 years ago!!!!!! Not the fault of the house; it is beautiful! It has over 4,500 square feet and is sited on over an acre with both fabulous Santa Catalina mountain and city views. Features of the house include polished concrete floors, beamed and corbelled ceilings, outdoor kitchen, pool and spa with fireplace and having spacious 5 bedrooms and 4 .5 bathrooms.

There are certainly are some good deals out there!
