Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property was built in 2000 and, while well-maintained and move-in ready, it shows signs of being outdated. The kitchen features original oak-style cabinetry and solid surface countertops typical of the era, though appliances have been upgraded to stainless steel. The bathrooms and light fixtures (brass ceiling fans) also reflect the original construction style. Per the criteria, the home is over 20 years old with no evidence of a full recent renovation, placing it in the fair category despite its clean condition.
Middle School: Diamond Canyon Elementary School (10/10).
At 3,366 square feet, this is one of Anthem's largest models, featuring a rare downstairs split layout with both the primary and a guest suite on the main level, plus a massive upstairs loft.
Situated on the southern edge of the community just minutes from I-17, this property offers significantly easier access and shorter commute times to Phoenix compared to homes deeper within Anthem.
As a short sale, the transaction requires third-party bank approval, which often leads to unpredictable and significantly longer closing timelines for the buyer.
Short sale properties are typically sold in as-is condition and may require additional investment for cosmetic updates or repairs that were deferred by the previous owner.
This is a fantastic short sale opportunity to own one of the largest available floor plans in the most convenient location within Anthem. Being on the south edge of the community and only a couple minutes from the I17 makes for an easier commute to anywhere. Open the door to an expansive living room with soaring ceilings and views of the loft via 2 large windows. The kitchen boasts upgraded Whirlpool appliances, solid surface countertops and office nook all open to the family room with fireplace and tall sliding glass doors to the back yard. The primary bedroom with bathroom and designated guest bedroom with full bathroom are both downstairs and split. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms joined by a Jack & Jill bathroom and a 3rd bedroom with its own bathroom in the hall. The loft area is huge offering a multitude of uses. Out back is a covered patio stretching the whole length of the rear of the house and sparkling pool with waterfall feature.
