With manicured landscaping, a charming, gated courtyard, and spacious carport parking, the curb appeal sets the tone for what's inside. The interior delivers an effortless urban vibe--light, bright, and thoughtfully styled with warm wood flooring, tile in all the right places, contemporary lighting, and a cozy brick fireplace that anchors the main living space. Natural light pours in, highlighting the clean lines and stylish neutral palette throughout. Most of the home's updates have been completed within the past few years, giving it a fresh, modern feel while maintaining its inviting character. At the heart of the home is a stunning, chef-inspired kitchen designed to impress.

High-end stainless-steel appliances, including a gorgeous gas range with double ovens and a statement hood, make this kitchen ideal for everything from casual meals to entertaining.

Just off the kitchen, a dramatic 3-panel glass slider opens seamlessly to the backyard, creating that sought-after indoor-outdoor lifestyle. A spacious family room offers the perfect place to relax or entertain, while the dark slate entryway adds an extra touch of modern sophistication. The primary suite is a relaxing retreat, complete with a private ensuite featuring dual sinks, a generous walk-in closet, and a sleek, modern glass barn door that provides stylish privacy between the bedroom and bathroom. A large laundry room with ample cabinetry doubles perfectly as a hobby or flex space. Out back, your private oasis awaits--featuring a covered patio for morning coffee or weekend BBQs, a grassy area for games and lounging, and a sparkling fenced diving pool with brand-new decking, that's ready for those hot sunny Arizona days.
