Beautiful and unusual home that is cheerful and fun to be in! The home is minutes to shopping, spring training, downtown, golfing, and most activities. It is a very short walk to two popular hiking trails and the canal trails. The setting is private and tranquil with the feeling of being far away, while still minutes from all of the great Arizona activities!
