About This Home

As of August 2026

Just reduced by $10,000! The backyard alone is worth the visit. A pool, new cool decking, a built-in BBQ with a sink, and a generous grass area create the kind of outdoor space perfect for Arizona living. And that's just the beginning. The roof was replaced in 2026, the A/C in 2025, and there's also a new pool pump and a new dishwasher, updates that many buyers hope to find but don't always get. Just inside the front door, a versatile bonus room gives you the flexibility to create the space you need, whether that's a home office, playroom, hobby space, or second living area. The rest of the home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, fresh interior paint, and no popcorn ceilings. A wood-burning fireplace adds character to the living room while double doors invite you outside to the extended patio and the backyard that's truly the highlight of this home. If natural light is on your wish list, you'll appreciate the large kitchen window overlooking the pool and backyard with stainless steel appliances completing the space. And with no HOA, you'll have the freedom to enjoy your home without added restrictions.
The location is just as appealing. You're only minutes from Sahuaro Ranch Park, where you'll find walking paths, mature trees, and beautiful rose gardens. Restaurants, shopping, concerts, and professional sporting events are all nearby at Westgate Entertainment District and State Farm Stadium. With quick access to Loop 101 and I-17, getting around the Valley is easy. If you're looking for a home with meaningful updates, flexible living space, a backyard you'll actually use, and a location that keeps you close to everything, you've found it.
