As you enter, you will see a vaulted ceiling living room with a brick fireplace, and another wood burning fireplace in the cozy family room with French doors that lead to the covered travertine patio. The backyard is lush and relaxing.


Upstairs, the four bedrooms plus the loft, offer plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. There are beautiful views out of all windows! The primary bedroom and another bedroom have access to the extended balcony with a living grape vine - imagine having a morning coffee or a glass of wine at sunset with the views of the West Lake and the palm trees!

The home is steps away from the Lake and the park with a rose garden. You can get a kayak or rent a boat and explore the large lake the neighborhood was built upon. The local waterfront restaurants are a walking distance from the house and the regular neighborhood concerts and community events bring a sense of connection and charm that's hard to find anywhere else.

    "No reason to spend money on big resorts if you live in the Lakes! Just hang put at the monster Olympic pool and enjoy the beautiful waterfront. Longest waterfront community in AZ-takes about hour to hour and half in boat -electric motors only-to cruise the Lakes."
