Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1987, this property is well-maintained but remains largely in its original style, fitting the 'fair' criteria of being aged with occasional updates. While the listing notes a newer roof and refreshed kitchen countertops, the interior features significant dated elements including blue carpeting, honey-oak cabinetry, Hollywood-style light bars in the bathrooms, and a 1980s-style fireplace surround. The home is functional and move-in ready but requires aesthetic modernization to meet contemporary standards.
Situated in the highly sought-after Ahwatukee Custom Estates, the property offers mountain views and is nestled within an established community known for mature landscaping and proximity to top-rated schools and trails.
The home features dramatic high ceilings and a unique custom layout that includes a dedicated media/game room and a versatile loft, providing a spacious and airy feel that is ideal for both entertaining and daily living.
Recent enhancements, including a newer roof and refreshed kitchen countertops, provide immediate value and peace of mind regarding long-term maintenance for the new homeowner.
With only 3 bedrooms for nearly 2,800 square feet of living space, the home may feel under-utilized for larger families or buyers seeking a higher room count at this price point.
While key updates have been made, the 1987 construction and 2-bathroom configuration may require additional investment to fully modernize the home to contemporary luxury standards.
Nestled in prestigious Ahwatukee Custom Estates, this unique custom home offers character, spacious living, and timeless appeal in one of Phoenix's most desirable communities. Mature landscaping and winding streets create a welcoming retreat near top schools, golf, trails, and Valley amenities. Dramatic high ceilings give the main living areas an airy, open feel with abundant natural light. The layout balances everyday comfort and entertaining. Upstairs features a private primary suite with generous space, a versatile loft for a nook or office, and a dedicated media/game room ideal for movies or gatherings. Updates include a newer roof, refreshed kitchen countertops, and other enhancements that boost livability while preserving the home's distinctive custom design.
