About this home

This home is all about responsible living and you won't sacrifice any comforts. The berm-style house & it's hot water boiler system keep heating costs amazingly low. A newer On-Demand water heater means even less gas usage. You'll love the established garden too and the brand new eyebrow pergola! The home is nestled in a beautiful, wooded lot in a quiet neighborhood. The natural light streaming in the south windows is incredible. Custom kitchen cabinets and beautiful countertops make the kitchen feel more luxurious so cooking no longer feels like a chore. The more open-concept living room, den, informing dining space can flex and be whatever you need it to be. The property also has a finished shed with floor, cabinets, bench, and electricity so hobbyists have a place all their own. Recent upgrades include new roof, new gutters & toppers, fenced garden with raised boxes, many new windows, new range, addition of outdoor fire pit, new A/C, boulder retaining walls, completely remodeled bathroom, new ''eyebrow'' pergola, tankless water heater, new carpet throughout, and more. Gilbert School District with free busing service to and from. Oh, and don't forget all the wildlife. Rarely does a day go by without deer, owls, and even sometimes wild turkeys and pheasants being seen in the yard. So much to love!
