Some houses have great features. This one has a lifestyle. This move-in ready, fully updated 3BR/3BA Central Phoenix home blends vintage charm with thoughtfully designed spaces made for gathering, relaxing, and everyday living. The exceptionally private backyard is an entertainer's retreat, featuring a private pool & spa, a 48-foot covered Alumawood pergola for the perfect mix of sun and shade, and custom paver patios front and back. Out front, the large gated front patio with fireplace offers an inviting place for relaxing or entertaining friends. Inside, the kitchen shines with Italian Carrara marble, a sea-green glass backsplash, solid wood cabinetry, new appliances, a glass-front refrigerator, and a built-in dining nook. The Carrara marble kitchen and bathrooms add a sophisticated touch, while chevron flooring brings warmth and character throughout. The fully converted sunroom creates an additional flexible living space--perfect for a home office, lounge, or creative retreat. The unique split-bedroom floor plan places two bedrooms on one side and the third on the opposite side, with the living spaces in between--ideal for guests and privacy. Two walk-in closets, solid-brick construction, solid wood shutters, and a 1-car garage add character and function. Sip coffee on the oversized front patio, gather around the fireplace, bike to the neighborhood farmers market, then come home for an afternoon by the pool and spa. Not cookie-cutter--this is Central Phoenix living with personality, privacy, and spaces designed to be enjoyed.
Alhambra, located between Grand Canyon University and the I-17 corridor, is a residential and commercial Phoenix neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and a grid of palm-lined arterials. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the 35th Avenue and Camelback Road intersection, where taquerias, panaderías, barbershops, and late-night eateries keep the sidewalks active. Grand Canyon University’s campus edges bring collegiate energy and newer mixed-use pockets. Alhambra’s housing stock leans toward brick ranch homes and low-rise garden apartments, with mature shade trees softening wide streets. Grand Canyon University Arena and the nearby GCU Golf Course act as local landmarks for events and open green views. Canal paths and neighborhood parks add space for walking and biking across the flat desert terrain.

A basic purpose of these regulations is to foster the creation of living areas which can assist the establishment of stable, functional neighborhoods. An established pattern of living in this metropolitan area reflects a tradition of single-family occupied dwellings which also emphasize outdoor living. Many of these dwellings are thereby located on relatively large urban or suburban lots.; These regulations provide standards for dwellings built at low and moderate densities. While the predominant housing type is expected to be single-family dwelling, provisions are made for alternative housing types within the same density limits.
