In The Point At South Mountain, an elegant Phoenix resort community that features one of the top 30-golf courses in Arizona, sits a Southwestern classic-style gem of a home.

This three-bedroom, two-bath home of 1804 square feet home with it's attached double-car garage has all the tranquility and none of the bustle of the city . . . . nor even of the resort. Yet its central location is close to the airport, downtown, ASU campus, restaurants and major shopping malls.

The home sits on the corner of a quiet cul-de-sac among desert palms, mature trees, and grass in a park-like setting. The spacious backyard with its raised patio has ample room for a pool. With its mixture of desert vegetation and lush greenery, provided by maintenance-free artificial turf and an automatic drip/light system, it's always a pleasant sight from the outside or even from the inside when the summer heat becomes unbearable. The front yard, following an HOA approved plan designed and installation by a master landscape architect, showcases the low-water, yet lush desert vegetation.

From the house only steps across 48th Street, is the Arizona Grand Golf Course. Bordering the golf course is South Mountain Preserve Park with its 380-miles of desert hiking and bike trails.

Inside this beautiful home, you will find the front room, with its dining area off of a spacious kitchen. The kitchen opens to a large living area & family room with a fireplace.

The generous-sized master suite has double-doors leading to an atrium in the center of the house. The master suite's large master bath focuses on a sunken tub, and a separate glass shower. The double-master sink area was recently remodeled with dark-blue glass counter bowl sinks. Pass through the sink area to the walk-in master closet.

The recently updated Pella window in the kitchen has generous views outside to a walkway of blooming Bougainvillea with its butterflies, bird, hummingbirds and other desert denizens. The refrigerator was recently replaced. Tile was added to the nook opposite the new expansive window. All of this contributes to a bright kitchen, a pleasant place to be and to create meals.

The office area (it could easily serve as another bedroom) was recently remodeled and features a lovely light slate-gray tile on the floor, a built-in wall of shelves and bookcases, and a double-door separate entrance that opens to the outside.

Among the recent updates to this home is a new Trane 14-ton A/C that comes with an assumable 10-year warranty. The roof, replaced approximately 8-years ago, in the back section was recently updated with a warranty on that section until 2023. Altogether, the owner has spent more than $100K on upgrades, these were primarily structural and not cosmetic.

Architecturally designed to take advantage of the phenomenal crystalline light of SW desert space, the house enhances that beauty with high ceilings, clerestory windows and skylights. This location, despite its proximity to the heart of Phoenix, is nestled in the peace of an expansive resort neighborhood that with its surrounding golf course and desert park combines to create an ambience of tranquility and deep peace.
