Property Description

A Pulte stunner in the highly sought-after Fireside at Desert Ridge, this move-in ready home is packed with thoughtful upgrades and stylish finishes throughout. The primary and guest bathrooms have been completely remodeled with new vanities, custom tile work, updated fixtures, mirrors, and designer touches. Fresh interior paint, a new stainless steel appliance package, custom laundry room cabinetry, whole-home surround sound, a smart thermostat, and a custom-designed primary closet add both style and everyday functionality.
The kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring a large center island, spacious walk-in pantry, and plenty of prep space for cooking and entertaining. A separate den offers the flexibility for a home office, media room, or additional living space. Major system updates including a brand-new water heater, new water softener, reverse osmosis system, and updated electrical panel provide added value and peace of mind. Outside, a newly added paved patio creates the perfect place to relax, entertain, and enjoy Arizona's year-round sunshine. Living in Fireside at Desert Ridge means enjoying one of North Phoenix's premier lifestyle communities. Residents have exclusive access to a 12, 000-square-foot clubhouse with a resort-style pool, lap pool, two spas, children's splash pad, fitness center, dance studio, sauna, tennis, basketball, and pickleball courts, along with parks, walking trails, and year-round community events. Ideally located just minutes from Desert Ridge Marketplace, High Street, CityNorth, the JW Marriott Desert Ridge, the Mayo Clinic, and with quick access to Loop 101 and SR-51, you'll be close to some of the area's best shopping, dining, golf, entertainment, and everyday conveniences. This is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated home in one of North Phoenix's most desirable communities.
