With a two-car garage, expanded parking slab and 10-foot wide RV gate with slab parking, there's ample room for vehicles and toys. Step inside to discover extraordinary interiors, enriched with a blend of modern and classic styles, clean lines and premium materials. The light-filled, open floorplan offers flexible living spaces. The living, kitchen and dining room open to one another and effortlessly harmonize, providing an ideal space for indoor entertaining. The game room/bonus room offers an inimitable indoor/outdoor connection with a full-length wall of sliding glass doors. The space features new luxury vinyl plank flooring (2025) and a new mini split AC (2024). With layered living areas, you'll have versatile spaces for all occasions. The kitchen is both beautifully functional and a joy to spend time in, thoughtfully designed as the heart of the home. Rich wood shaker cabinetry is paired with slab granite countertops, stone accents and a full suite of Whirlpool appliances, including a gas cooktop and a new dishwasher (2024). Recessed + under-cabinet lighting add warmth and visibility, while smart storage solutions like a discreet appliance garage, lazy Susan and pantry cabinetry enhance the space. A generous breakfast bar and adjacent dining room invite connection and gathering. Tucked away in its own wing, the split primary suite offers a sense of calm, grounded by maple hardwood floors and visually expanded by French doors that open to the game/bonus room providing views to the epic rear yard. A generous walk-in closet with built-in organization provides function, while the remodeled ensuite bath (2017) features a subway-tiled walk-in shower, dual sinks and granite counters for a refined, timeless finish. Two additional bedrooms carry forward the home's warmth and character, each appointed with hardwood flooring, ceiling fans, and wood shutters. The hall bath features slate floors, granite counters and a slate lined tub/shower. Even the laundry room brings charm, with brick veneer walls, a solar tube for natural light and Whirlpool washer/dryer. The 2-car garage offers utility with ceiling storage, side yard access door and brick veneer accents that echo the home's thoughtful detailing. The true showpiece of this home is its rear landscape; a seamless extension of the interiors and a celebration of desert living. Designed for year-round enjoyment, the outdoor spaces have been meticulously curated to create a sense of calm, connection and desert beauty. The $50,000 landscape transformation by Healthy Structures & Desert Designer (of Tempe) delivers an experience reminiscent of the desert botanical gardens. The contemporary patio cover anchors the outdoor living area with bold architectural lines, a commercial-style ceiling fan and bistro lighting that glows beautifully as the sun sets. Pavers underfoot extend into walkways and open patios, giving the outdoor space a cohesive feel. The built-in firepit, framed by custom bench seating creates a wonderful ambiance on cooler nights. The thoughtful selection of native trees and sculptural plants includes Desert Museum Palo Verde, Red Push Pistache, Blue Agave, Senita Cactus, and Bougainvillea. The yard is extra gorgeous at night with landscape lighting perfectly placed throughout the yard. Additional updates include new roof (2015), full sewer line replacement (2016), dual-pane windows + sunscreens, updated door moldings, Ring doorbell + SimpliSafe security system, 6-stage reverse osmosis system, Kohler high-line toilets and newer gates.
