About this House

Tucked into a serene, nature-filled setting with towering century-old trees and frequent wildlife sightings, this spacious 4-level split in the Gilbert School District sits on a stunning .89-acre lot and offers over 2,900 finished square feet of living space. Full of potential and thoughtfully maintained throughout the years, this home is ready for its next owner to bring fresh ideas and make it their own. The true star of the show, however, is the incredible setting -- a peaceful, private lot surrounded by mature trees that creates the feeling of your own secluded retreat. Inside, the home offers a warm midcentury modern vibe with expansive windows, natural materials, and inviting living spaces throughout. The large kitchen features an island, abundant cabinetry, and plenty of room for a full dining table, making it an ideal gathering space for everyday living and entertaining alike. One of the standout features is the impressive 440 sq ft sunroom, where large windows and skylights surround you with natural light and peaceful views, creating the perfect place to entertain or simply relax and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors. Additional highlights include 4 spacious bedrooms, 2.5 baths, custom built-ins crafted from wood harvested right from the property, and a natural stone fireplace which is integrated into the home's duct work and is capable of heating the home. The 20 x 20 shed, complete with electricity, high ceilings, and a roll-up door, offers incredible flexibility and would be a dream space for a woodworker, hobbyist, or anyone needing extra workspace and storage. The property also features durable 2x6 construction, enhanced footing drainage with a sump pump already installed, and a spacious 2.5-car garage. Roof on house and garage installed in 2019.
