Nearly 4,000 sq ft in a gated Desert Ridge community...and one of the largest homes currently available in this price range. Even fewer offer a fully finished backyard with private pool, fire feature, and built-in BBQ already in place. Five bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, with a layout that works: main-level bedroom and full bath, dedicated office with doors, and upstairs entertainment space with split bedrooms and convenient laundry. The primary suite offers dual vanities, walk-in shower, and a generous closet. The kitchen is designed for daily use with a large working island, extensive cabinetry, and walk-in pantry, all connected to the main living space. Minutes to Desert Ridge Marketplace, High Street, golf, hiking, and quick Loop 101 access to Scottsdale and Cave Creek. Where the details start to matter...the first impression builds as you move through the home. A custom iron and glass front door sets the tone, while just around the corner, a private courtyard reveals itself, anchored by expansive sliding doors that create a natural connection between indoor and outdoor living. The main living areas are finished with tile throughout, offering both durability and a clean, cohesive look that holds up to everyday life. The layout is designed for how people actually live. Spaces are defined without feeling closed off, allowing daily routines and guests to coexist without overlap.The office is thoughtfully positioned with double glass doors, providing privacy without feeling disconnected. The main-level bedroom serves multiple generations or visiting relatives who prefer to avoid stairs. The kitchen wasn't designed for show, extensive cabinetry actually holds things, the gas cooktop handles serious meal prep, and the walk-in pantry accommodates real grocery runs. Upstairs, the entertainment room adds flexibility, whether for media, study, or a secondary living space, while the bedroom separation supports both privacy and function. The laundry is exactly where it should be, upstairs, complete with built-ins and counter space. Executive height vanities with granite countertops in all baths, plus custom tiled shower surrounds. Out back, with no homes directly behind, the setting feels more open and private than most. Travertine pavers and natural stone surround the pool and water feature, complemented by low-maintenance turf and an elevated gas fire pit that naturally becomes the gathering point in the evenings. The part many buyers overlook? The time and effort already saved. No waiting on contractors, no phased projects, no uncertainty. This home is complete, the decisions are made, and the home is ready to be used as intended from day one!
