About This Home

As of June 2023

Welcome to this stunning custom-built contemporary single-level Southwestern design home in this desirable gated desert community. The original owners created this ideal lock-and-leave paradise they used only 6 months every year. From the inviting courtyard entryway to the roof top deck, from the covered patio fireplace to the cozy library/study space, you'll experience the peace of the desert lifestyle. A charming gem with 12 foot ceilings situated on almost an acre (.89) lot with north/south solar exposure. Split primary bedroom with wood finish ceiling and 2 closets. Awesome storage space with a massive walk-in pantry, extended 3 car garage, secret locked closet, PLUS 2 storage rooms for your gear. Great room layout with large open kitchen creates an inviting entertainment atmosphere. Plenty of room on the spacious granite counters accenting the pecan wood cabinetry. Natural lighting enhances the solid wood alder doors throughout the home. Your guests naturally move outside to the full-length covered patio and back to the corner fireplace or up to the deck to catch our breathtaking Arizona sunsets. Almost immaculate condition with attention paid to details like a 220 line in the garage for electric cars! Only 2 miles to the Red Mountain 202 Freeway. Owner states that it's permissible to add a pool or RV garage with HOA approval. The community center provides 2 tennis courts with basketball hoops, a dedicated pickle ball court, children's playground and several shaded Ramadas with concrete picnic tables to enjoy the mountain views.
