The outdoor spaces are a standout, with plenty of room for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying the Arizona sunshine. The fully fenced yard features a charming white picket-style fence, extensive artificial turf, mature landscaping and paver walkways around the property. A full-width covered front awning adds architectural charm while providing welcome shade across the front windows, with oversized flagstone-style stepping stones creating an inviting approach. An extended covered side patio overlooks the spacious landscaped yard with solar yard light and overhead party lighting.  There is also an additional private patio on the carport side, plus a doggie door for convenient pet access. An extended driveway, covered carport and storage shed add convenience and functionality.  Inside, approximately 1,440 sq. ft. of living space has been thoughtfully updated with waterproof, scratch-resistant laminate flooring, interior and exterior paint completed in 2021, and ENERGY STAR® double-pane tinted windows.
