3402 E Fairfield St Mesa, AZ 85213

Set on a .37-acre lot, this 3,066 sq ft home sits in the heart of The Groves, a part of Mesa that feels more like a retreat than a subdivision. Here, the streets are wide, the lots are generous, and no HOA means you can breathe a little easier and live a little freer.

The home itself? One-owner since it was built. It's been loved, lived in, and now it's ready for its next chapter. Step through the front entry and you'll find a sprawling floor plan with defined yet flowing spaces. Formal living and dining rooms up front, vaulted ceilings overhead, and a dual-sided fireplace anchoring the heart of the home. That fireplace opens to both the family room and living area, creating a cozy connection that feels made for the holidays, casual evenings, or anywhere in between.

In the kitchen, original oak cabinetry meets a large center island, walk-in pantry, and plenty of space to dream. This is the kind of layout that renovation TV shows are built around, solid bones, generous proportions, and full of potential to make it your own. The oversized laundry room is tucked just behind, with its own storage and folding space.

The primary suite offers a fireplace of its own, plus a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dual vanity. Across the home, the split floor plan features two additional bedrooms that share a hall bath, and each room has its own character, natural light, and layout flexibility.

Step outside and the story gets even better. The backyard is a dream: a pebbletec pool with water feature, mature citrus trees, and enough open space to add a guest house, workshop, garden, or all three. There's a large covered patio, a full RV gate, and ample side yard access, perfect for toys, tools, or tinkering.

What's special here isn't just the home, it's the setting. The Groves is one of the East Valley's best-kept secrets. Known for its custom homes, mature landscaping, and rare-for-Arizona green space, it's the kind of neighborhood that invites you to stay awhile. Early mornings on the Eastern Canal Trail, mountain views that shift with the sun, and quiet streets with just the right amount of distance between neighbors.

And because there's no HOA, you can upgrade or renovate at your own pace, without jumping through committee hoops. Want solar? A guest casita? A bold paint color? Go for it. This is a place that welcomes individuality.

Homes in The Groves don't change hands often and when they do, they tend to go quickly. Whether you're looking to renovate for yourself, reimagine the space for resale, or simply want a foothold in one of Mesa's most enduring neighborhoods, this home is worth a visit. There's so much to work with, and even more to fall in love with.
