Description
Experience the perfect rhythm of Uptown Phoenix living in this reimagined modern ranch, nestled in the heart of the city's most coveted corridor. Spanning over 2,400 sq. ft., the home balances crisp contemporary design with the timeless durability of sandblasted block construction. The seamless open floor plan is anchored by an updated kitchen with sleek quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a dedicated dry bar perfect for transitioning from daily life to hosting weekend gatherings. While the interior features new luxury laminate flooring (2024) and bespoke shelving, the true showstopper is the 2022 full-grounds renovation by the Dig It Gardens. This outdoor sanctuary boasts a privacy hedge, garden with drip irrigation, and a botanical retreat featuring a citrus grove of Meyer lemon, Key lime, and Arizona orange trees. Sustainability meets luxury with a xeriscaped front yard, native desert plantings, and a sparkling center-point pool upgraded with a new heater and filtration system (2022) and a secure safety fence (2025). This home offers unparalleled peace of mind through significant infrastructure investments rarely found at this price point, including a full sewer line replacement (2022), a new high-efficiency 5-ton Rudd AC with a Media Air Cleaner (2022), and 24" of fresh attic insulation (2023) for maximum efficiency and cost savings. Strategically located minutes from the culinary gems of Uptown, the luxury of the Biltmore, and the boutique charm of Town & Country, this residence is a meticulously upgraded gateway to the very best of the Valley.
