Tucked well off the road on 4.37 beautifully private acres in sought-after Phoenix, this custom-built 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers a rare combination of space, privacy, and thoughtful updates. A long driveway leads to a peaceful setting surrounded by mature trees and impeccably landscaped grounds, creating a true country retreat while remaining conveniently located. Inside, the beautifully updated kitchen features granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances and opens to inviting living spaces designed for everyday living and entertaining. A stunning four-season sunroom overlooks the private backyard and features a retractable awning, while the maintenance-free deck provides an ideal spot to enjoy the tranquil setting. The main-level owner's suite offers a walk-in closet and private bath with a separate shower and whirlpool tub. A recently renovated hall bath adds another modern touch. The finished lower level provides additional living space with a full bath, office, recreation room, and bar. Just beyond the main home is an exceptional and truly rare feature: a fully finished, approximately 400-square-foot detached building offering an incredible amount of flexibility and potential. This separate space can become whatever best suits your lifestyle—a private home office, creative studio, fitness room, art or hobby space, pool house, guest retreat, entertaining space, or even a dedicated space for hobbies and collections. Having an entire additional finished building on the property allows you to create separation between work, recreation, and everyday life in a way that is difficult to find in today's homes. Whether you envision a peaceful workspace, a personal gym, a poolside retreat, or your own private escape, this versatile space is ready to bring your vision to life. With generous living areas, extensive outdoor space, mature landscaping, and the privacy of over four acres, this property offers the room to live, work, relax, and entertain—all in a beautiful Phoenix setting. A truly special property with space and privacy that are increasingly hard to find.
