Property Description
Every major update has already been done. This 3-bedroom plus den, 2-bath home inside the gated Val Vista Lakes community of Castaway Bay is the definition of move-in ready, with high-quality upgrades completed over the past 2 to 5 years so the next owner can simply unpack and enjoy. New LVP flooring, a fully remodeled kitchen, and updated bathrooms set the tone inside. A new roof in 2023, new attic insulation in 2023, a recently replaced AC unit, and a fully upgraded irrigation system mean the big-ticket items are handled for years to come. Outside, fresh exterior paint and professionally installed artificial turf and pavers in both the front and back yards deliver low-maintenance curb appeal that looks great every single day. And then there is the lifestyle. Val Vista Lakes is one of Gilbert's most iconic master-planned communities, offering residents a lagoon pool with a sandy beach, a junior Olympic pool and spa, tennis complex, pickleball courts, racquetball courts, a fitness center, scenic lakes, parks, and miles of walking and biking paths, all within a beautifully maintained setting. Downtown Gilbert's restaurants, shops, and entertainment are just minutes away. If you have been waiting for a home where someone else already did all the work, this is it.
