Property DescriptionStep back in time and discover a piece of Prescott history unlike anything else on the market. Believed to be the oldest surviving cottage in Highland Pines, this remarkable home once served as the headquarters of the Mazatzal Mining Company. Its original owner, Ulysses Young, played an extraordinary role in Arizona's early history as the state's first Secretary of State, Mayor of Phoenix, and even Temporary Governor of Arizona.
Today, this historic treasure has been lovingly restored to honor its storied past while embracing the comforts of modern living. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to preserve the home's authentic character, from the handcrafted woodwork and distinctive flooring to carefully selected tile accents and restored original features that evoke the warmth and simplicity of another era.
Behind its timeless charm lies the peace of mind that comes with extensive updates, including modern utilities, an upgraded roof, efficient heating and cooling systems, and contemporary amenities designed for today's lifestyle. The kitchen is particularly enchanting, blending vintage appeal with modern convenience through a beautifully styled, fully digital range that feels as though it belongs to the home's rich heritage.
Offering three inviting bedrooms and one bathroom, the home continues to delight with touches such as the classic clawfoot bathtub, enhanced with elegant new plumbing fixtures. The year-round Arizona room provides a front-row seat to nature, where expansive panoramic views stretch across the surrounding forest and all the way toward Skull Valley, creating the perfect setting for morning coffee or quiet reflection.
The magic doesn't end there. The property also features a spacious two-car garage with additional bonus space, along with a detached workshop or hobby studio that has been thoughtfully refinished and is ready to inspire your next project or passion.
A large shed has also been installed on the right side of the house.
As the sun begins to set and the pines whisper in the evening breeze, there's no better place to unwind than the expansive front porch, rocking chair in hand, taking in the beauty, tranquility, and timeless spirit of Prescott.
This is more than a home. It's a rare opportunity to become the next steward of a truly irreplaceable piece of Arizona history.
