Property is move-in ready.
This 2003-built home is in move-in ready condition with significant recent capital improvements, including a new roof, fresh interior/exterior paint, and updated white hickory flooring. While the kitchen and bathrooms retain their original high-quality cabinetry, they have been tastefully updated with modern granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The property shows minimal wear and tear, meeting the criteria for a well-maintained home within the 10-20+ year range that has undergone partial renovation.
The property features a rare attached casita with a full bath, kitchenette, and laundry, complemented by a main house where every bedroom is ensuite with a walk-in closet, offering maximum privacy and multi-generational utility.
Significant high-ticket upgrades, including a new roof with a 30-year transferable warranty, a new sprinkler system, and fresh interior/exterior paint, significantly reduce immediate maintenance concerns for a new owner.
The backyard serves as a private resort with a pool, putting green, gazebo, and mature citrus trees, all positioned to capture scenic mountain views and Arizona sunsets on a desirable north/south lot.
While the elementary school is within walking distance, the assigned middle and high schools are located over five miles away, which may be less convenient for families with older children.
Despite modern cosmetic updates like hickory flooring and new counters, the 2003 construction may still harbor some original mechanical systems or architectural footprints that lag behind contemporary new-build standards.
