When we were looking for our new home, we needed a home close to work and all of the key areas important to us and we found this beautiful home in the prestigious Shalimar monument neighborhood that has a 9- hole executive golf course, pro shop and driving range. There are no HOA costs here. This beautiful neighborhood is in a Fantastic location...5 minutes to Tempe Marketplace, 10 minutes to Sky Harbor Airport, 20 minutes to Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall complex, 15 minutes to downtown Phoenix. It is also near McClintock High school and TPA – Tempe Preparatory Academy charter school. Our home is a highly upgraded sprawling ranch-style home constructed with solid slump block. It features a huge backyard with RV parking, privacy, and room for both a pool AND play area with access from the back-alley driveway. We also installed a 10'x12' solid construction storage shed. We cut our water bills dramatically by installing high quality plush synthetic grass in both front and back yards. We also cut our electric bills by installing upgraded Energy-Star certified Renewal-by-Andersen windows (and transferable warranty) throughout this home. There are high end bamboo wood floors in the main living and access areas of the home with newly installed carpet in all 4 bedrooms. The kitchen, bathrooms, and hallway cabinets have upgraded granite counter tops. There are upgraded stainless steel appliances. The gas stove counter cook top has a stainless-steel range hood as well. We also have a wonderful gas fireplace at the end of the family room. Our master suite and master bath have been upgraded as well. The tiled walk-in shower has high end dual shower heads. One on the wall and the other one is a rainfall shower head. The large closet has a lot of space too. Finally, we have a 2-car garage with a golf cart bay at the back of it with room for your golf cart or extra storage. The entire garage floor has been upgraded to an epoxy surface. We know you will love this home and area as much as we have. We invite you to come see it today. . For your convenience we have provided a Virtual OPEN House under the virtual tour tab.
