700 E Placita Leslie, Tucson, AZ 85718

A Catalina Foothills address under $600,000 is rare enough- but this one comes with gorgeous architecture that makes you take notice. The split-level plan uses short half-flights to give each part of the home its own level, so living spaces and bedrooms each get room to breathe.

It's a layout with a little drama and lots of flexibility. Out back, a private patio works as an outdoor room for morning coffee, a grill, and a few potted plants, with no lawn asking for your weekends. Lock the door and travel whenever you want. The community is well kept and quietly tucked into the Foothills, close to the restaurants, shopping, and trailheads that make 85718 so appealing, with an easy drive to the University of Arizona and downtown.
