Many more features in DOCUMENTS TAB above OR CLICK HERE: Major remodel completed in late 2019 at an approximate retail cost of $200,000. The home was completely reconfigured including relocating 2 bedrooms and the master bath. This dramatically increased the openness of the home. Our vision was to create an open and bright, comfortable, luxury golf course home with both indoor and outdoor entertaining in mind. Virtually EVERYTHING in the home was replaced with new during this remodel.
All work was permitted through the City of Mesa.
This is NOT a fix and flip. Our intent was for this to be our "forever" home, so even the most minor of details were considered, quality workmanship materials were a high priority and "no expense" was spared.
Highlights of the 2019 remodel:
All new, energy efficient, heavy-duty vinyl framed windows with 1" insulated Low-E glass. The rear of the home was completely re-framed to accept these very large windows to create an unobstructed panoramic view of the golf course unlike any other home in FOS. These Alpine brand windows have a lifetime warranty. The sunset views are amazing as well!
The large, luxurious master bath was created in what was a bedroom. All rough-in plumbing, drain and sewer lines were installed by a licensed plumbing contractor. 100% sweat fitted copper pipe was used. A new main water shut off valve and pressure regulator were also installed, as well as a soft water loop.
Master bath features include an 8ft vanity with 2 sinks, huge soaking tub, private toilet room and large shower with both a wall mounted and ceiling mounted rain showerhead, 3/8" frameless shower door and built-in seat. All new dimmable LED lighting. New exhaust fans in bathroom and toilet room, both on timer switches.
New, high quality raised panel kitchen cabinets, bath vanities and wet bar with all soft close doors and drawers and custom handles. Extensive use of large drawers in the kitchen cabinets. New granite countertops throughout the home.
All new matching stainless steel Maytag appliances in kitchen including ultra-quiet dishwasher. New stainless steel beverage refrigerator at the wet bar.
New 12x24 tile in living areas and 20x20 diagonally laid tile in master bath. New, high-quality carpet in bedrooms.
All new plumbing fixtures including premium Pfister faucets and Moen shower valves. All new sinks in bathrooms, kitchen and wet bar. All new faucet shut off valves and braided supply lines. New Kohler toilets. New circulating pump provides instant hot water to kitchen and bathrooms.
All new light fixtures inside and out, all with energy efficient LED bulbs. Extensive use of recessed LED lights, including on the rear patio. Most lights are on dimmer switches as well.
9 new Hunter and Harbor Breeze ceiling fans, including 3 exterior rated fans on the rear patio. All ceiling fans have remote controls and dimmable LED lights.
All new raised panel interior doors and new matching fire rated door between the laundry and garage. New solid core doors were installed at the master bedroom entry, master bath entry and the 3rd bedroom/office entry. All new lever door handles and all exterior doors are keyed the same.
Electrical improvements include all new outlets and switches throughout including GFCI protected outlets where required by code. A new dedicated 50-amp breaker and copper wiring installed for 220 volt power to the hot tub. There is also a 20-amp, 110 volt circuit for the current hot tub. Electrical outlets at all 4 corners of the rear patio ceiling and one at the south patio under the eve, including two plugs controlled by wall switches, perfect for rope lights, string lights or Christmas lights.
The drop ceiling in the kitchen was removed, raising the ceiling from 7ft to 8ft and the fluorescent fixture replaced with dimmable recessed LED lights. The kitchen pendant lights are also dimmable LED and all are switched at each end of the kitchen. Color changing LED under counter accent lights as well.
New AC ducts and registers installed at kitchen, living room, dining room, breakfast nook, guest bedroom and 3rd bedroom/office. New blown in attic insulation throughout this same area. A new attic access panel was also installed in hallway for easier attic access to south end of the attic.
5 mounted flatscreen HD and 4K UHD TV's included. 65" 4K UHD in family room, 60' HD in master bedroom, 50" 4K UHD and 43" 4K UHD on rear patio and 40" HD at the gazebo. Both rear patio TVs, family room and great room TV's are connected to an HD antenna in the attic to receive local HD channels free of charge.
New R19 insulation was installed in every exterior wall opened during the remodel. This includes the entire rear exterior walls of the home, the master bathroom and part of the master bedroom. Sound deadening insulation was installed in the master shower surround to prevent the running shower from being heard in adjoining rooms.
Fresh paint both inside and out. New baseboards and door trim throughout.
New Bali cellular shades at all rear windows.
Many smart home features including:
Nest video doorbell (new in 2023) allows you to see who is at your front door, talk to them even if you are not home, documents package deliveries and more. Even identifies people you know by name.
Wyze smart thermostat is infinitely programmable and can be turned on/off or adjusted from anywhere using your smartphone.
Kasa Smart switches for most exterior lights with the ability to program them to turn on/off at specific times. Even times tied to sunrise & sunset. Can also be controlled with a smartphone app from anywhere.
