Einfamilienhaus In Flagstaff

The best part of 2449 W Bruce Balle Dr is a question: what will you do with the GUEST HOUSE? Over the detached two-car garage is a full studio apartment, with its own kitchen, full bathroom, mini-split heating and cooling, and open floor plan living. It was built with the house in 2019 by Miramonte Homes, and Presidio in the Pines allows short-term rentals, so the answer can change with your life. Your visitors stay for a week and have their own front door. A friend rents it for the winter. Weekend guests come up from the Valley and nobody shares a bathroom. Or you grab a cup of coffee and it becomes the office, music room, or art studio you’ve been promising yourself. Call it a casita, an ADU, or an in-law suite. The options are limitless.

The main house itself features 10-foot ceiling and is laid out so the day moves through it with the sun. Mornings start on the south side, where the light streams in through the dining room windows while you eat breakfast. The kitchen holds the middle, with a large island perfect for hosting. By evening you are at the north end, in the living room, with the San Francisco Peaks filling the windows and the last of the south light still warm behind you. Lutron light switches set the mood, central air handles the few toasty afternoons Flagstaff gets, and the Energy Star rating keeps utility costs low.

All three bedrooms are upstairs. The primary wakes up to the same Peaks view the living room has, and two more generously-sized bedrooms and a full bath share the hall, along with an oversized laundry room.

Between the house and the garage, a covered breezeway means you carry groceries from the car to the kitchen without crossing snow, and the Tesla charger in the garage means your electric or hybrid car is full by morning. Beside the breezeway, the small courtyard lives like an outdoor room: private, intimate, with minimal upkeep, and sized perfectly for a hot tub and two chairs under the stars. Together the two buildings total 2,702 sf, which makes this one of the largest floor plans in Presidio.

Presidio in the Pines sits off Woody Mountain Road on the west side of Flagstaff, with neighborhood trails and a playground, minutes to Route 66, downtown Flagstaff, and NAU. Flagstaff, AZ 86001.
