The magic of the southwest sparkles in this highly upgraded, creatively remodeled home. If you're searching for true Arizona style, here it is! Colorful Talavera tile adorns the stair risers hinting at what will be found inside. A saguaro cactus basking in a setting sun adorns the security door and welcomes you to a ''wow!'' interior with dark wood and tile floors, custom paint, tile accents and a stacked slate stone fireplace with a thick wood mantel. Gorgeous, hand-crafted custom copper metal-faced drawers are built-in to the great room's art display wall offering deep storage. High-grade slab granite adorns kitchen counters, the long master bath dual-sink counter and the guest bathroom. Luxury finishes rival any upgraded single-family home you'll find above $500,000, but this condo makes high style affordable. Finished impeccably, down to the details with draperies, stone and glass tile backsplashes, a vessel sink in the guest bath, matching stacked slate stone at the breakfast bar and accent walls painted to coordinate with the decor.

The great room plan makes entertaining a breeze and 2 spacious bedrooms allow for plenty of room for furniture and a sitting area in the master bedroom if you wish. The bathrooms' granite, newer sinks and faucets and spaciousness feel exceptionally luxurious.

The gas fireplace has a blower to heat the large great room living area without the need for central heat. A Nest smart learning thermostat allows you to remotely control your HVAC and set it to learn your habits to keep your energy costs low.

The distant vistas and views from this unit are all about Arizona and include Four Peaks, the famous Fountain Hills' fountain and sacred, beautiful Red Mountain. Enjoy views from most rooms and from the very private balcony, a treat in a downtown, gated community. You'll never feel closed in here!
