Although built in 1952, the property has undergone an extensive, top-to-bottom renovation within the last 5 years. The kitchen is fully modernized with 42-inch cabinetry, quartz countertops, and new stainless steel appliances. Major systems including plumbing supply lines, ductwork, insulation, and the AC unit have been replaced or upgraded, and the interior features new flooring, recessed lighting, and designer-tiled bathrooms, meeting the criteria for a virtually new home.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7828, living area = 1494.
Elementary School: Franklin Elementary School (9/10).
Beyond cosmetic finishes, this 1952 home features critical system replacements including new plumbing supply lines, new ductwork, updated insulation, and a newer high-capacity AC unit, ensuring long-term structural reliability.
The assigned local public schools, including Lowell Elementary and Kino Junior High, currently hold low performance ratings (3/10 and 2/10 respectively), which may impact long-term resale value for families.
Despite the extensive remodel, the 1952 original construction may still feature the smaller bedroom dimensions and limited closet space typical of mid-century architecture compared to modern builds.
This beautifully updated Mesa home is impeccably designed; far beyond a typical cosmetic remodel. Nearly every detail has been upgraded, including fresh interior and exterior paint, fixtures, fans, hardware, doors, trim, lighting, flooring, plumbing, and supply lines. The bright, modern kitchen features brand-new 42-inch cabinets, quartz countertops, a stylish backsplash, and all-new appliances--perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Both bathrooms have been thoughtfully renovated with stunning tile work in the primary shower and hall bath, complemented by brand-new vanities and faucets. Major system upgrades provide peace of mind, including a newer, larger AC unit, new ductwork, ceiling insulation, fascia, and a new hot water heater. The garage has also been fully refreshed with a new door and opener, plus a sleek epoxy floor. Situated on a generous lot, the outdoor space is ready for your personal touch, complete with new landscaping, a pergola, shed, and a block fence surrounding the perimeter. Conveniently located near schools; Lowell Elementary, Eagles and Ellsworth Parks, Brimhall Football field, Mesa Inter-Stake Center and more with easy US-60 access, and just a short drive to Hohokam Stadium--this home truly has it all.
