Star of Paradise is one of only a handful of communities in the Phoenix area, with this type of affordable mid-century modern architecture. The front elevation is modern with its low-sloped roof and striking deep gray paint and white accents.

The new contemporary kitchen includes sleek, contrasting black and white Euro-style cabinetry with lucite handles, Carrera marble counters, icicle glass mosaic backsplash, stainless steel basin sink, in-sink reverse osmosis water filtration, under-cabinet lighting, black appliances (including built-in microwave and gas range/oven) and a large stainless steel, glass and butcher block rolling breakfast bar/island. The custom lighting above the island is paired with two restoration hardware pendants. Hints of industrial design can be spotted in the kitchen and throughout the home

The great room is open to the kitchen and overlooks the rear patio. A built-in floating credenza and media storage cabinet are in perfect scale for the space. A new dual pane sliding glass door opens to the covered patio, which provides filtered, indirect light all day. An all white palette, from floor to ceiling, allows for optimum personalization of the space.

Both bedrooms feature sleek white concrete floors, white modern ceiling fans, vaulted ceilings, new dual-pane windows and built in storage solutions.

The full bathroom has been refined with re-purposed furniture-style vanity, Carrera marble counters, porcelain vessel sink, low-flow toilet, decorative wall mirror, modern fixtures, vintage glass ceiling light and subway-tiled tub/shower with mosaic accent tiles and recessed niches for shower products.

Throughout the home are all new white concrete flooring, new dual pane windows/doors, modern lighting & fans, vaulted ceilings, smooth-coat walls/ceilings, industrial-style exposed white ductwork and stylish hardware. The homes major systems have been updated to include a new AC system (along with all new ductwork) and a new main electrical panel.

The rear yard is spacious and offers both covered and open patios. The uncovered patio space can accommodate an accessory structure (like a modern cabana or modern shed for more living or storage space!) or a table, chairs and firepit. Landscaping in the rear yard is a minimalist combination of pea gravel, artificial turf, and trees, including 2 mature fruit-producing fig trees, citrus trees and new privacy trees along on the back block wall. Also in the rear yard are a storage shed, flagstone walking paths, decorative block accent wall and planter for vegetable garden, RV gate and block fencing. The laundry room is located off the carport and the washer and dryer convey with the home.
The 2 car carport could be converted to livable space or a garage, as many neighbors in Star of Paradise have done. There is plenty of room to add an extra bedroom and bathroom on the rear of the home, if more space is desired. 4 homes to the West (3701 E. Shaw Butte Drive) is a perfect example of this identical floorplan renovated and expanded and it sold on 6/10/2013 for $255,000!
