Property Description
Welcome to this beautiful private mountain retreat, perfectly situated on approximately one acre in the desirable Manzanita Hills neighborhood of Payson. Showcasing unobstructed mountain views, a large fenced yard, and approximately 3,500 square feet of comfortable living space, this impressive residence offers five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a spacious family room, and an oversized three-car garage. Step inside the inviting great room, where engineered wood flooring, a wood-burning fireplace, and dramatic vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings create warmth and classic mountain character. Numerous windows fill the home with natural light while beautifully framing the surrounding scenery. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the well-appointed kitchen features granite ... counter tops, a breakfast bar, center island, custom maple cabinetry with soft-close drawers and rollout shelving, and a Cafe six-burner range with a warming feature.

A second main-level bedroom features hardwood flooring, sliding glass doors leading to the covered deck, and beautiful mountain views--making it equally well suited as a home office or den.

Outdoor living is equally inviting, with covered decks overlooking the mountain surroundings, an expansive fenced yard, and a greenhouse for gardening enthusiasts. Offering classic mountain character, generous indoor and outdoor living spaces, privacy, and exceptional Payson views, this home is truly a must-see.
