1963 W Idylwild Road
Prescott, AZ 86305
MLS# 1080175
4 beds | 3 baths | 1935 sqft
Property DescriptionDiscover a wonderfully unique 4-bedroom, 3-bath, ~2,000 sq ft home tucked at the base of iconic Thumb Butte in Prescott. This multilevel property blends charm, versatility, and income potential -- all just minutes from downtown and surrounded by some of the area's best mountain and road biking right outside your door.
One of the standout features of this property is the expansive, beautifully landscaped lot, framed by mature trees that create natural privacy and a serene, park-like setting. Multiple flat outdoor spaces offer ready-made areas for picnic tables, fire pit gatherings, garden areas, or future outdoor entertaining. It's rare to find this much usable space in the Thumb Butte corridor, and the setting already feels like a special retreat. There's also ample room to park an RV, with an easy layout for adding RV hookups if desired.
Adding even more value, the property includes two large outbuildings -- a 24×12 and a 12×12 shed -- both accessible by their own private driveway. With the right vision, this setup could be easily transformed into an Airbnb or guest retreat, offering excellent earning potential while maintaining privacy from the main home.
Inside, the home offers flexible living arrangements, including a lower-level bedroom with its own entrance and ensuite, ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or additional rental income. The primary bedroom features a charming loft area, perfect for a home office, reading nook, or additional sleeping space. The kitchen includes upgraded stainless steel appliances, adding modern convenience to the home's warm, inviting character. New dual pane windows. With 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, there's plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy the peaceful natural surroundings.
The home is comfortable and move-in ready, while still offering opportunities for the next owner to add personal touches or value-boosting updates over time. Whether you're looking for a primary residence, a vacation getaway, or a property with income-producing potential, this home offers a rare combination of space, privacy, natural beauty, and future upside.
