The story
SELLER RATE-BUYDOWN INCENTIVE! Details in Documents Tab. Welcome to an exceptional home in Sun City Festival offering a rare combination of golf-course & mountain views, privacy, thoughtful upgrades, & outstanding indoor-outdoor living. One of the community's most distinctive homesites, w/$85k of upgrades over the last 12 months. Popular Destiny plan is ideally positioned directly across from the #4 tee box of the Lake Course, providing a sweeping 180-degree golf-course view without the golf balls, activity & foot traffic often associated homes directly along the fairway. An adjacent large common area further enhances privacy, openness, & sense of space. The east-facing backyard takes full advantage of Arizona's beautiful mornings, offering spectacular sunrises & welcome afternoon shade. Two mature, fruit-producing citrus trees add charm, while 660 square feet of premium synthetic turf provides an attractive, low-maintenance outdoor space. The fully fenced backyard includes two gates for added privacy and convenience. The centerpiece of the outdoor living area is an impressive 15' x 36' covered patio w/approximately 540 square feet of pavers. This expansive space is ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining, relaxing w/morning coffee, or simply enjoying the White Tank Mountain & golf-course views. The combination of the east-facing orientation, large, covered patio, open views, and adjacent common area creates an exceptional setting for Arizona living. Inside, the split-bedroom floor plan provides privacy for the primary suite while placing the second bedroom, den/office and guest bath on the opposite side of the home. The second bedroom has been transformed by a custom California Closets package featuring a full-width queen wall bed with a hydraulic mechanism that makes opening & closing the bed effortless and built-in bedside storage, dual LED reading lights and USB/electrical connections. The full-width closet organizer includes short & long-hanging sections, adjustable shelving, & a locking four-drawer file cabinet. A matching built-in office suite provides soft-close drawers, file storage, open shelving, upper cabinets, a pull-out keyboard tray, & full-length integrated LED lighting. The office/den is equally distinctive, featuring a spectacular 12-foot custom raw-edge wood slab desk and striking reclaimed-lumber accent wall. The result is a warm, sophisticated, highly functional workspace w/character rarely found in a builder-finished den. The $85,000 in improvements include new luxury vinyl flooring in the bedrooms, office and walk-in closet, premium patio awnings, synthetic turf, extensive new pavers and landscaping, new fencing, professionally finished commercial-grade garage floor coatings, eight overhead garage storage racks, a new 36-inch five-burner natural-gas cooktop, security storm/screen door, ceiling fans and numerous other upgrades. The improvements build upon an already extensive list of enhancements made by the previous owners, including a 2022 HVAC system, an additional 12 inches of attic and garage insulation, prepaid solar, Kinetico reverse-osmosis drinking water and whole-home water-conditioning systems, PVC irrigation piping, newer water heater and established termite protection. Built in 2006 and owned by only two owners, this exceptional home has been thoughtfully maintained and enhanced throughout its history.
