And then there are homes that reach out and hold you. This is one of those homes. Tucked into Valencia Groves on a rare third-acre lot, this 3,455 sq ft Mesa residence offers something the market has almost stopped producing: soul. Fifteen mature citrus trees. A backyard built for living, not listing photos. A finished basement that rewrites what this address can do for a family. Built new in 2000, loved for 25 years, and priced with the kind of honesty that respects your time and your intelligence. Come with an open mind. Leave with a decision. AT A GLANCE - 3,455 sq ft total (2,671 main + 784 finished basement) - 5 bedrooms + den · 3.5 baths · 2.5-car garage - 0.35-acre lot (15,080 sq ft) · Valencia Groves - 15 mature citrus trees: 12 Valencia orange, 2 lemon, 1 tangerine - 10' ceilings · 2x6 construction · R-26 insulation - New HVAC (Oct 2024) · new basement carpet · new porcelain plank flooring throughout main level OUTDOOR LIVING -- WHERE THIS HOME ANNOUNCES ITSELF You will feel it the moment you step through the gate. The Valencia orange will guide you. A deep covered patio with ceiling fans opens to a built-in outdoor kitchen -- gas grill, tile prep counter, storage built in. Nothing to haul out. Nothing to put away. Just a space that's ready when you are. Beyond it, a curved adobe fire pit terrace with banco seating wraps around open lawn framed by fifteen mature citrus trees -- twelve Valencia oranges, two lemons, one tangerine. Flood irrigated, basins in place, and producing every season. And in the spring, the orange blossoms arrive before you open the gate. If you've spent any time in Arizona, you already know what that means. Surrounded by your own grove, at your own home -- it's something you don't forget. The lawn beyond is a canvas waiting for your signature. Two rows of mature privacy trees -- along the side and rear -- already grown in and standing. Open space genuinely ready for a pool, spa, or casita. The groundwork is laid. The dream is yours to finish. MAIN FLOOR LIVING Warm. Open. Designed for real life. The maple kitchen anchors the great room with quiet confidence -- large island with seating, gas cooktop, double wall ovens, recessed lighting that flatters every hour of the day. The adjoining dining area moves easily from Tuesday dinner to Saturday entertaining. A separate formal living and dining room near the entry gives you the rarest thing in an open-plan world: a door you can close. New porcelain plank flooring runs the full main level, grounding everything in clean, lasting style. PRIMARY SUITE Rest here. Really rest. Vaulted ceilings. French doors that open directly to the backyard. And a spa-style bath that earns the name -- frameless glass walk-in shower, rain head, pebble floor, dual niches, glass block window, dual vanity, oversized walk-in closet. This is not a cosmetic refresh. This is a bath that was reimagined and executed well, with the feel of newer luxury construction and none of the compromise. THE BASEMENT -- MESA'S
