This stunning, Pulte-built, 5BR, 3-bath, executive cul-de-sac home is nestled in the secluded, gated Montaña Vista community on the South Mountain Preserve. It has everything that today's luxury-home buyer demands, and frankly, it will take your breath away. It's a 3,322 sq. ft. single-story, split-floor plan, open-concept entertainer's dream, anchored by a spectacular new chef's kitchen with Shaker style cabinets, and a custom media-wall with gas fireplace. 10 and 12-foot ceilings throughout emphasize upscale details such as the dining room's coffered ceiling. The resort-style setting is completed by a heated saltwater pool and spa, outdoor kitchen, electric sun shades, all with breathtaking sunsets and mountain views, directly on the 16,000-acre South Mountain Park and Preserve, which offers 51 miles of trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding. There are only two single-story neighboring homes. The home has been recently painted, inside and out, by owners with an interior designer's eye with a soothing yet dramatic Southwestern palette. The massive master suite includes outdoor access, a dream master bath, with a huge walk-in shower, jetted tub, private WC, and large walk-in closet with custom cabinetry. In a separate wing there are three more spacious bedrooms, served by a full bath. There's a fourth bedroom, now used as a den, at the front of the home, with a nearby 3/4 bath. You decide how to purpose the glass-door-enclosed formal living-room off the foyer: a gracious home office, a media room, a teenager hangout? Your decision awaits. Low-maintenance desert landscaping, a three-car garage and a large front patio complete the picture of privacy, elegance, and gracious living.
