The property also features an oversized 28 ft x 19 ft heated and cooled detached garage. The property comes with grandfathered SRP flood irrigation right in both the front and back yards, drastically reducing watering costs. The gorgeous kitchen is perfect for entertaining with a large island, breakfast bar, double dishwashers, double ovens, a warming drawer, a connected walk-in pantry with second refrigerator and wine refrigerators, gas cooktop, sub-zero refrigerator and a panoramic view out to the backyard. The impressive primary suite showcases a sitting room, three closets, sliding glass doors leading out to a private patio, a grand ensuite bathroom with his-and-hers sinks and Crema Marfil marble countertops, flooring, shower and tub surround. Centrally located close to everything including the Uptown Farmers Market, Murphy's Bridle Path jogging/walking trail, Phoenix Mountain Preserve nature and hiking trails, the Valley Metro light rail, excelling public and private schools, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, Scottsdale, Tempe and Phoenix business districts and walking distance to numerous award winning restaurants.
