About This Home

As of November 2023

One of Sky Harbor's most extraordinary residences is now on the market offering the perfect balance of contemporary luxury and enchanting views. Rested on a half-acre lot, this charming home boasts three bedrooms and two bathrooms across 1,540 square feet of light-filled living space. Inside, you'll be greeted by an expansive living area with vaulted ceilings. A modern 60-inch Dimplex fireplace creates a safe and relaxing focal point.

The home has undergone an extensive remodel, and two decks were recently sculpted into the hillside. Observe the night sky from the jacuzzi on the upper deck or cozy up around the fire pit on the lower deck.

The house comes fully furnished with high-end pieces including a Peloton+ bike, Samsung Frame TVs, and new kitchen appliances. Freshly installed flooring engineered with real white oak hardwood runs throughout the house. The solar system is NEM2.0 and lease payment will not increase for added peace of mind on energy costs. A tankless water heater adds to efficiency.

The house has an active short-term rental permit (buyer to inquire with city about permit process) and comes with a full inventory of supplies as well as the opportunity to continue the listing with the current property management. Make use of this incredible turnkey opportunity, supplement your income, or enjoy it all to yourself.

Embrace the magic of this captivating haven – schedule a viewing today.
