What stands out first at 492 Bruces Corner is the generous, quarter-acre lot—mature shade trees and a private patio create an immediate sense of outdoor living that's rare this close to downtown Prescott. This two-story, block-and-frame home (1,632 SF) from 1975 balances traditional layout with practical updates: a cozy living room, a clearly functional kitchen adjacent to a separate dining area, four bedrooms upstairs, and a full walk-out basement that adds flexible space for a home office, hobby room, or family media area.
Inside, systems that matter are in place—central AC and gas forced-air heating—while the composition roof and overall condition are reported as good. The floorplan keeps daily life easy: bedroom wings for privacy, a straightforward kitchen for weekday meals, and a dining room sized for weekend gatherings. The main level opens onto the backyard where the patio and established landscaping make summer barbecues and relaxed evenings effortless.
Parking is simple: an attached one-car garage plus driveway space accommodates extra cars, toys, or projects. Utility connections include public water and natural gas; the property uses a septic system, a detail buyers should evaluate during inspection. Construction materials and mechanicals reflect the home's 1970s origins, with block and frame construction lending solid bones and opportunities for cosmetic updates to match contemporary taste.
Location is a defining asset. Highland Park offers quiet residential streets but places you within easy reach of Prescott’s downtown scene—about two miles away—along with Yavapai Regional Medical Center (1.8 miles) and highly regarded schools: Taylor Hicks Elementary (0.4 miles), Granite Mountain Middle (1.5 miles) and Prescott High (1.1 miles). Whether you're a family seeking school proximity, a commuter looking for straightforward access, or an investor drawn to stable neighborhood values, this property combines practical living space with a desirable central location.
Packaged as a comfortable, move-ready option with room to personalize, 492 Bruces Corner represents a solid value in Highland Park. Key due diligence items include roof/HVAC verification and septic inspection; otherwise, the home presents a rare mix of private outdoor space and walkable school access so close to Prescott’s civic core.
