This beautifully appointed Manhattan model offers a warm, sophisticated interior, The heart of the home is the kitchen, featuring Antique White cabinetry, light toned granite countertops, and an oversized island with space for gathering and meal preparation. A charming nook just off the kitchen is currently used as a baking area. The third bedroom can easily function as an office, dining room, or flexible living space. Antique White cabinetry and coordinating granite countertops continue into the bathrooms, creating a cohesive, elegant look throughout. Outside, the backyard backs to green space and features a covered patio, a separate pergola with a built-in fire feature, fruit trees, and low-maintenance synthetic turf--an inviting setting to enjoy Arizona living year-round. CLICK MORE This home sits on a lot that backs to HOA-maintained green space, so there are no neighbors behind you. That single fact delivers what most homes in the community cannot: open views and exceptional privacy. OUTDOOR LIVING Designed for entertaining and for quiet mornings alike, the backyard features an extended paver patio, a covered seating area with a built-in mister system and a raised pergola built around a gas fire feature that anchors the space on cool desert evenings. Mature orange, lime, and lemon trees are producing, established rose bushes bring color, and a dedicated garden area is ready for herbs, vegetables, or whatever you want to plant next. Synthetic turf covers the rest, keeping the yard green and the upkeep minimal. KITCHEN The kitchen is where this home truly shines. Antique White cabinetry pairs with coordinating cream-toned granite and a custom tile backsplash, while under and over cabinet lighting adds warmth and highlights the finishes after dark. The island is the centerpiece, oversized and oriented to open up generous prep space with room for guests to gather, and noticeably larger than what you typically find in this model. Just off the kitchen, a nook that comes blank in the standard Manhattan plan has been finished with custom built-in cabinetry and display shelving, matched to the kitchen so precisely that the two spaces read as one. It is currently used as a dedicated baking station and would work just as well as a coffee bar, bar area, or display space for collections. PRIMARY SUITE The primary suite continues the Antique White cabinetry and coordinating granite, keeping the finishes consistent from one end of the home to the other. Dual sinks give two people room to get ready at once, and a walk-in closet opens directly off the bathroom. A private water closet houses a Kohler toilet with a built-in warm-water bidet and dryer, a comfort upgrade you rarely find in a resale. BEDROOMS AND FLEXIBLE SPACE The third bedroom offers true flexibility and converts easily into an office, hobby room, dining room, or lounge to suit your lifestyle. The guest bedroom includes its own walk-in closet for added storage. The second bath repeats the Antique White cabinetry and granite pairing found throughout the home. FRONT PORCH The covered front porch is a genuine second seating area, not just an entry. An arched brick facade and paver decking give it presence from the street, and there is room to put out chairs and actually use it, whether that means morning coffee, a glass of wine at sunset, greeting neighbors as they pass, or having a front-row seat for the holiday golf cart parade. In a community where people are out and about, a porch you can sit on is worth more than one you only walk through.
