231 Palisades Drive N

Some homes have a view. This property has Elephant Rock, Munds Mountain, Twin Buttes, and a sea of radiant red - and it never lets you forget it. The developer of the Palisades neighborhood built this home in 1986, and took full advantage of the lot orientation when designing the floor plan. This 3-bed, 2-bath home was designed with one purpose: to put red rock views front and center, in a single-level home. With extensive seller upgrades and no HOA, it delivers that rare combination of turnkey condition and timeless Sedona character. Review the short-term rental proforma to see why this property is one of Sedona's strongest investment opportunities. Step through the front entry, and the expansive great room opens before you - vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, full-length support beams, and a wall of glass that pulls the landscape inside. A stone fireplace wrapped in custom oak cabinetry anchors the room, and warm hardwood floors run throughout. The beautifully remodeled kitchen pairs custom cabinetry with striking stone countertops and GE Café appliances in a highly functional layout with plenty of counter and cabinet space - this is truly a chef's special place. The primary suite is its own retreat: a gas fireplace, jaw-dropping red rock views, and a recently renovated bathroom with dual vanities, a walk-in closet, and a sun-drenched walk-in shower (adjacent to the shower, the floor is plumbed for a future bathtub). Step directly from the primary bedroom to a private hot tub perched above the treetops, with the red rocks right there, right in front of you. Bedroom #2 offers an ensuite bath and a walk-in closet. Bedroom #3 - is currently a craft room (with plenty of space to accommodate a king-size bed), and a half bath that can be restored to a full bath. The back deck is where this home truly lives: Trex decking, new railings, a hot tub, and unobstructed red rock panoramas. Below, a small fenced yard is ready to become the perfect dog run. On the west side of the home, a lovely, enclosed courtyard has its own deck and a natural water feature adds one more layer of charm. A large two-car detached garage and a generous front driveway with plenty of parking space round it all out. This home has something newer builds can't recreate - warmth baked into its bones. The woodwork, the beams, the glass, its elevation above the trees. It all adds up to a postcard-perfect home to be your own.
