840 Bertrand Ave Prescott, AZ 86303

Exquisite craftsmanship, extraordinary energy efficiency, low maintenance, and convenient location make this 2005 move-in ready 1553 square foot, 2 bedroom, 2 bath home simply incomparable.

Perfect full-time residence, vacation home or AirBnB... The open plan makes efficient use of every square inch of space. The front door opens to the Great Room where dining, kitchen and living areas flow seamlessly together. The kitchen was installed in 2018 and features beautiful custom shelves and real Cherry & Maple cabinetry, Corian countertops, LG stainless steel appliances, and pantry. A full bath offers tile floor with in-floor radiant heat, single vanity and tub-shower and adjacent laundry closet is outfitted with washer and dryer. A side door provides an accessible option to move from the 2-car parking area into the house via a permanent ramp.

The upper-level exterior is a natural color fiber concrete siding which is non-combustible, engineered to stand up to moisture, unappealing to woodpeckers and termites, and never needs painting! Note that the cast earth contains its own coloration too, so no ground level wall painting is ever necessary, inside or out!

The 2nd level interior offers vaulted ceilings, maple hardwood floors, a very spacious main bedroom with a wall of closet space, and a nicely sized second bedroom with standard closet. Each bedroom includes access to a composite deck with decorative rusted metal railing where you can enjoy looking into the treetops while shaded by evergreen trees. A hall bath serves both bedrooms and has neutral-toned tiled floor with in-floor radiant heat, single vanity, and tub-shower with solar tube. A large storage closet is situated on the stairway landing.

Abundant windows bathe the home in natural light and the N-S orientation creates passive solar warming in the winter and keeps the home cool in the summer. Ceiling fans cool the Great Room and bedrooms while in-floor radiant heat warms the lower level and both bathrooms. The cast earth construction keeps the entry level cool throughout the warmer months and the rising heat warms the upper level in the winter. An on-demand tankless water heater offers unlimited hot water!

The low-maintenance native landscape enhances the simplicity and natural feel of the home. A fenced back yard offers room for 2 and 4 footed friends to enjoy the shade of the many trees, to linger in a small patio area shaded by Ponderosa pines, to cook in the earthen pizza and bread oven, to scramble on boulders, or to sit quietly and revel in birdsong or the rustling of the breeze through the trees. An exterior storage closet offers room for bicycles, garden tools, and easy maintenance of the in-floor radiant heat system and tankless water heater. There is even a money-saving untapped, unrecorded, unregistered well for landscape watering!

Located in an established, friendly neighborhood just 1.2 miles to Prescotts Downtown Square, the property has grocery shopping and restaurants within walking distance. Its a short drive to hiking at Thumb Butte Recreation area, off-road biking trails, medical facilities, dining and entertainment.

Energy efficient, low maintenance, unique, beautiful, and conveniently located, it is easy to imagine this house as your home. Time to see it for yourself!
