1900 W Fairway Ln Payson, AZ 85541

There are homes near the forest and then there are homes where the back gate opens directly into it. At 1900 W Fairway Lane, Tonto National Forest is your backyard, Payson Golf Club is directly across the street, and the best of Rim Country living begins at home. Set on a fully fenced .36-acre cul-de-sac lot with no HOA, this updated single-level residence offers approximately 2,028 square feet with four spacious bedrooms, two remodeled bathrooms and a dedicated office/bonus room. Inside, the home feels warm, open and full of character. Vaulted ceilings and wood-look flooring lead into a generous living area centered around a wood-burning fireplace with barnwood and corrugated-metal accents, built-ins and abundant storage. The remodeled kitchen combines extensive distressed cabinetry, tile countertops, a deep double farmhouse sink and Samsung Smart appliances. An adjoining dining area surrounded by windows brings in beautiful natural light, while the well-equipped laundry room adds cabinetry, a folding counter and utility sink. The flexible floor plan is designed for real life. The fourth bedroom includes its own exterior entrance--an excellent option for guests, a private workspace, studio or hobby room. The primary retreat offers exceptional storage with a walk-in closet, second closet and linen closet. Its custom bath stands apart with dual sinks and a large tiled walk-in shower featuring rain and handheld showerheads and a decorative frosted wilderness-scene window. An adjoining bonus room opens directly to the patio. Outside, the property becomes an experience of its own. Dine beneath the covered patio, unwind in the spa, enjoy the pond and water feature, or grow your own harvest in two fenced garden areas. Established apple, peach, plum and pomegranate trees are joined by grapevines, blackberries and raspberries. The permanent two-story site-built chicken house with metal roof can also provide substantial storage or hobby space. An RV gate and parking in both the front and backyard provide room for a boat or trailer. The two-car garage includes a workbench, shelving and cabinets. The roof was replaced in 2018, the exterior was painted in 2020 and the water heater was replaced in 2021. City water and public sewer complete the practical advantages. Green Valley Park, historic Main Street, local shops and restaurants are all close by. A home with this much space and flexibility is special; one with the forest through the back gate and golf across the street is something altogether different.
