Description

Welcome to your completely turnkey North Central gem, where style, function, and location come together in all the right ways. Thoughtfully remodeled with a designer's eye, this home strikes the perfect balance between timeless and joyful design, offering spaces that feel as good as they look.
Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings and clerestory windows create an immediate sense of light and volume, while a stunning wood-burning fireplace anchors the main living space- ideal for cozy nights or lively gatherings. The layout flows beautifully, with distinct yet connected spaces that make everyday living and entertaining feel seamless.
The kitchen is equal parts chic and practical- tucked just off the dining area, it features quartz countertops, classic white shaker cabinetry, and designer tile that adds just the right amount of sparkle. Whether you're hosting friends or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, this space delivers.
The split floor plan offers both privacy and flexibility, with two spacious bedrooms plus a dedicated office that's perfect for working from home, creative projects, or even a third guest space. The primary suite is a true retreat- oversized and inviting, complete with its own beehive fireplace, private patio access, a beautifully remodeled ensuite bath, and walk-in closet. The guest suite doesn't disappoint, featuring its own ensuite bath, walk-in closet, and charming arched windows that bring in soft natural light and architectural character.
Step outside and you'll find your own private retreat- designed for year-round enjoyment. The heated and chilled play pool is the star of the show, surrounded by lush ficus hedges, mature trees, low-maintenance turf, and multiple areas to lounge, dine, and unwind under the Arizona sky.
Add in a two-car garage with epoxy floors and extra storage, and you have a home that truly checks every box.
Set in a highly sought-after North Central location- just minutes from some of Phoenix's best dining, shopping, and everyday conveniences- makes this home not just beautiful, but incredibly livable.

    "There are a few hiking spots close by, there is a nice running trail that runs alongside the canal and Camelback Rd. Southwest Human Development makes its home here supporting early childhood for much of Maricopa County. There’s no shortage of businesses around here. This area borders the more well to do Arcadia and Biltmore neighborhoods as well as the more decidedly homeless and drugee scene that runs South of Thomas Rd. It’s a typical Phoenix neighborhood otherwise."
