Tucked into a quiet creekside pocket of Prescott at a mile-high elevation, this newly built home sits at the literal gateway to the Prescott National Forest — the kind of address where you can hear the creek and see the tree line from your own covered balcony. The 710-square-foot covered balcony stretches across the back of the house, and the views of the surrounding landscape make it easy to lose track of time up there.

Inside, the design has a clear point of view: dark cabinetry, black marble counters, and a floor-to-ceiling black marble fireplace that anchors the main living space. The kitchen centers on a large island with seating for four and a full walk-in pantry behind it. The main-level primary suite has its own spa bath and a custom walk-in closet with mirrored wardrobe doors and velveteen jewelry storage. Three more bedrooms sit upstairs, each with its own private bath, along with a bonus room that works as a game room or second living area.
