Three-bedroom home. Two-car garage. One self-contained guest cottage. And views that reach to the heavens. What more could you ask for. One of the owners is a serious gardener. And the landscape looks like it. Part native, part groomed, entirely beautiful. Sit on your front porch and partake of Tombstone Canyon and its fabulous sunsets. (And a martini or two. Shaken, not stirred.) This house was built of adobe in 1906. How many other century-old structures look like this? And notice the bead-board soffits: When the owners redid the roof (and rafters), they enclosed the soffits and installed recessed lighting. With hardwood floors and lots of natural light, the living area is made for just that. Here again, you’re surrounded by natural light and appetizing accent colors. Originally this was part of the porch. Now it’s just wholly warm and inviting. The current owners use this as a den. They even had a “hobbit” door and step installed to better access the patio outside. This is just one of several sitting areas, each with its own advantages and views. With high windows on the sides and a nicely tiled floor below. The charm of yesteryear combined with the functionality of today. Very large and beautifully accented. Plenty of surface and storage space. Note the tile backsplash. Conveniently situated between a bedroom and the kitchen. Beyond the kitchen is the laundry and utility room, with room to spare. No hurry, there are plenty of places (and reasons) to stop along the way. Stone patios surround the spacious garden area. With a high, sloped ceiling (to accommodate more windows) and a kitchen, your guests are not only at home, they can come and go as they please—without bothering you. Large, with built-in shelves and lots of windows. Nicely appointed, with a tile shower. From the cottage porch (or out of its windows), the views go on forever. (Unlike your opportunity to enjoy them.) Come and see for yourself what makes this one of Old Bisbee’s truly unique homes!

Property Description
Start with very few steps and a two-car garage and you’re already talking about a select number of Old Bisbee homes. Add in a completely self-contained guest cottage and the number shrinks smaller still. Factor in the painstaking detail found throughout yard, home and cottage and you’re looking at an absolute rarity. And it’s all secluded at the end of Wood Canyon, only 1.5 miles west of downtown Bisbee. A new roof, new windows, new wiring and new ceilings are just a few of the upgrades the current owners have made on the adobe house since 2006. The guest cottage, built in 1999, also features all of the amenities—and a view that goes on forever. As a bonus, it also qualifies for the Historic Status property tax reduction. Some furnishings available outside of escrow.
