Tucson’s biggest home sale in three years recently closed.

Long Realty sold a Foothills home for $3,250,000.

Realtors Bryan Durkin and Anne Ferro, who represented both parties, said it’s a resurgence of the luxury home market in the Foothills.

The home is in The Canyons, a gated community at the end of Alvernon.

The 6,800-square-foot home sits on 1.67 acres and has three bedrooms, four bathrooms and handcrafted interior design. It was built in 1999 by a team headed by architect Larry Pearson. The interior was designed by Holler & Saunders Ltd., of Nogales, Ariz.

The buyers are from out of town and bought it as a second home, Ferro said. It was a cash sale.

“We had it on the market for about a year and it is truly one of Tucson’s finest homes, Durkin said.

“This is an incredible property and a very important sale,” said Laura Mance, manager of Long’s Foothills office. “I think it’s a sign of increasing movement in the high end and I’m expecting more good things to come in 2017.”
