LISTING TITLE: Resort Backyard · 15-Tree Citrus Orchard · Finished Basement · 3,400 SF · 5BR + Den Welcome to one of Mesa's most distinctive properties -- a 3,400-square-foot home where indoor luxury and Arizona outdoor living meet on a rare third-acre lot lined with 15 mature fruit trees. This is not a subdivision house dressed up with builder upgrades. This is a property with a personality. 3,400 SF total (2,600 main + 800 SF finished basement with multiple rooms) · 5 bedrooms + den/6th bedroom · 3.5 baths · 2.5-car garage · 0.35-acre lot · 15 mature citrus trees (12 Valencia orange -- premier juicing variety, 2 lemon -- year-round producers, 1 tangerine) · Deep covered patio + ceiling fans · Built-in outdoor kitchen + gas grill · Adobe fire pit terrace · Spa master bath: rain head, pebble tile, glass block, frameless glass, teak bench · Master walk-in closet · Gas cooktop + double wall ovens · New porcelain flooring main level · Step-lit basement staircase · French door backyard access from master and the great room OUTDOOR LIVING
Step outside and the property earns its own category. A deep covered patio with multiple ceiling fans opens to a full built-in outdoor kitchen -- gas grill, tile prep counter, and storage -- framing a view of the curved adobe fire pit terrace and open lawn beyond. Surrounding it all, 12 Valencia orange trees prized for fresh-squeezed juice, 2 lemon trees that produce virtually year-round in the Arizona climate, and a tangerine tree form a working citrus grove unlike anything else in this price band. In a market where every backyard looks the same.. MAIN FLOOR LIVING
Inside, the floor plan opens into a seamless great room anchored by a well-appointed kitchen featuring a large island with seating, gas cooktop, double wall ovens, solid maple cabinetry, and recessed lighting throughout. The adjoining dining area flows naturally for everyday meals and entertaining. A separate formal living and dining room off the entry gives you flexibility to define the space on your own terms. New luxury porcelain plank flooring runs throughout the main living areas. MASTER SUITE
The main-floor master suite is a genuine retreat. Vaulted ceilings, direct backyard access through French doors, and a spa-quality bath featuring a walk-in frameless glass shower with rain head and pebble tile floor, dual built-in niches, glass block window flooding the space with natural light, dual vanity, and an oversized walk-in closet that rivals new construction at twice the price. THE BASEMENT -- Mesa's Best-Kept Secret
Downstairs, an 800-square-foot finished basement with its own hallway and multiple rooms adds a dimension most Mesa homes simply don't offer. Step-lit carpeted stairs lead to a wide-open canvas ready for a home theater, game room, home office, gym, or all of the above. Full ceiling height (9') with ceiling fans, windows, and new carpet throughout make this feel like intentional living space -- not a utility room. The back bedroom, completely isolated from the main basement living area, was the room of choice for a quiet home office. Isolation allows international calls at all hours of the day -- Europe in the AM, and the Far East in the middle of the night -- bothering no one except the spouse not knowing if you're still alive. ADDITIONAL FEATURES
The upper wing houses the two more bedrooms, a dedicated home office / den and a full bath -- a layout that works naturally for multi-generational living or a home-based operation. 2.5-car garage with extended bay and large enclosed storage. Minutes from the Loop 202, and everything the Mesa/Gilbert corridor offers.
