A rare forest-backed retreat in Flagstaff's highly sought-after University Heights neighborhood, this extensively updated 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers an exceptional combination of privacy, flexibility, modern comfort, and true mountain living. Backing directly to forested open space, the property enjoys a remarkably private setting surrounded by towering ponderosa pines, abundant wildlife, and peaceful outdoor living--with no homes directly behind the property. The spacious backyard is an exceptional place to relax, entertain, garden, or simply enjoy the beauty of the forest. Inside, the thoughtfully renovated home offers two spacious ensuite bedrooms, one on each floor, providing exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living, guests, a private primary retreat, or extended family. The lower level is particularly versatile, featuring a generous family/great room, dedicated den, and an ensuite bedroom with a cedar sauna for a private spa-like retreat at home. The lower level was previously utilized as a long-term rental and is electrically configured to support flexible lower-level living. While the current layout does not include a kitchenette, there is excellent potential to recreate a similar arrangement, including the outlets for laundry facilities and an oven/range that already exists on both levels. The home features three-and-a-half substantially renovated bathrooms with high-quality finishes, including Swanstone surfaces and rain shower systems. Additional improvements include new solid shaker-style interior doors, new baseboards throughout, an upgraded main electrical panel, and updated lighting. The kitchen has been thoughtfully refreshed with painted cabinetry, a new window, new sink, and new lighting, creating a warm and inviting space that complements the home's mountain character. Rare for Flagstaff, the home is equipped with a newly installed high-efficiency mini-split heat-pump and air-conditioning system, providing efficient heating and cooling throughout the home and year-round comfort. The result is a home designed for the way people actually want to live in Flagstaff: generous living space, flexible accommodations, exceptional outdoor privacy, and the ability to comfortably host family, guests, or extended stays--all within one of Flagstaff's most desirable neighborhoods. Ideally located just minutes from Northern Arizona University, downtown Flagstaff, shopping, dining, miles of trails, and Arizona Snowbowl, this exceptional University Heights property offers the best of convenience and a peaceful mountain setting. Listing Agent is a licensed Arizona real estate salesperson and is one of the property's owners.
