A split-bedroom floor plan provides exceptional privacy for family and guests. The attached guest suite offers the flexibility of a second primary or self-contained in-law suite, with a kitchenette, ample room for a living area, double French doors opening to the rear patio, and an oversized bathroom and walk-in closet. Two additional generously sized bedrooms each feature their own ensuite bath and walk-in closet. Outdoor living is an integral part of the home. Designed to be enjoyed throughout the seasons without demanding extensive upkeep, the backyard offers a fireplace, built-in BBQ, ceiling-mounted outdoor heaters, and a spool with water feature. Whether hosting dinner outdoors, relaxing by the fire, or simply enjoying the quiet of the desert, the natural wash and open space beyond provide a beautiful and private backdrop. Thoughtful details continue throughout the property. The curb appeal of this home is enhanced by beautiful front yard landscaping, mature trees and a wide paver stone driveway. The well-appointed laundry room offers a sink, granite counters, extensive cabinetry, and generous storage, while the garage is equally well considered with epoxy flooring, built-in cabinetry, a workbench with utility sink, overhead storage, a water filtration system, and water softener. Just as important as its beauty, this home reflects years of meticulous care and meaningful investment. Two 5-ton HVAC systems were replaced in 2023, the exterior was painted in 2025, and both the flat and tile roofs were replaced in 2026. The wooden French doors were refinished in 2026.
