Property Description

Set on a private, wooded one acre lot in Phoenix, this home feels like a retreat where days slow down and moments matter. Imagine gathering friends around the dining table for candlelit dinners, laughter carrying from the kitchen as meals are prepared and shared. The oversized kitchen, with abundant hickory cabinetry and a Sub Zero refrigerator, is made for holidays and long weekends, with space for cooking together, setting out platters, and lingering long after the dishes are cleared. Multiple living spaces invite different ways to unwind. A large family room centers around a wood stove, perfect for cozy evenings, while a separate living room with a working wood burning fireplace offers a quieter place to relax. Two bedrooms and a full bath on the main level provide flexibility for guests, work from home space, or easy one level living. A formal dining room and a more casual dining area allow the home to adapt beautifully to both everyday life and special occasions. Upstairs, the entire second floor is devoted to an expansive primary suite that feels almost treehouse like. French doors open to a rear deck, and a catwalk leads down into the landscaped yard, creating a magical connection to the outdoors. Outside, the grounds invite a lifestyle centered on nature, with a pond and waterfall, space for a beautiful flower or vegetable garden along the side yard, and two outbuildings offering endless possibilities for a workshop, studio, or creative retreat. A large carport adds everyday convenience. Solar panels enhance the home’s efficiency and provide the opportunity to purchase electricity back from the solar company at a deeply discounted cost, helping to keep utility expenses lower while supporting a more sustainable lifestyle. With a new roof in 2024, updated flooring in the kitchen, bathrooms, and sunroom, a rebuilt pond, and major systems and appliances thoughtfully updated over time, this is a home that offers privacy, character, and a way of living that feels both intentional and relaxed.
