28713 N 26th Dr., Phoenix, AZ 85085

Picture yourself living in a resort just a couple miles from North Phoenix's answer to Scottsdale Quarter. And yet, even so close to great shopping and dining, you can walk out your door and hike right into the Sonoran desert. Too hot for a hike? Go for a swim in your 50-foot lap pool or relax on the covered patio under the misting system. Catch the scent of jasmine and roses wafting from two gardens as you stroll across Italian pavers to an emerald green lawn. Or if it's a cool night, gather with friends and family round the gas fire place. Finished outdoors? Head inside through french doors to a chef's kitchen equipped with three ovens and a beautiful gas range. Grab a cold beverage out of your under cabinet fridge and check the walk-in pantry for snacks. Hang out at the in-kitchen dining and take in the game in the great room. Or if it's a more formal night head into the dining room for a leisurely dinner and then relax in the sitting room. Head back to your master suite at the end of the evening and take a soak in the garden tub. This is the first time this gem has been on the market since the neighborhood was built in 2006. It has the usual high end upgrades—travertine tile, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances—and several unusual ones—three ovens, under counter refrigerator, and french doors leading to a truly spectacular backyard. Italian pavers, a large grass lawn, rose garden, perennial garden, misting system, gas fire place, and a 50-foot heated, pebbletec, saltwater pool with fountains and baja. The pool has an in-floor cleaning system and is protected by a state of the art Cover Pool—it's safe to walk on it. No deferred maintenance here. The whole house has been painted inside and out in the last year. Brand new gates. Brand new carpet. The Trane AC/heater is only three years old and has a whole house filtration system. The water softener and R/O system are owned.
