A turnkey Arizona home tucked into a cul-de-sac in gated Sanctuary at Desert Ridge, right next to the neighborhood park. Nearly 4,000 SF with 5 beds/4 baths, office, loft, and a main-level guest suite. The backyard includes a private pool with water feature and a fire pit. Approx. $215K in upgrades reflects far more than cosmetic improvements, including a recently upgraded primary bath, office built-ins, plantation shutters, updated flooring, garage cabinetry, laundry room storage and sink, all adding long-term functionality and thoughtful detail throughout. Just steps to the community park, clubhouse, fitness center, and pool. Outside the gates, Desert Ridge Marketplace, High Street, JW Marriott, shopping, dining, golf and highly rated Paradise Valley schools...your Sanctuary awaits! Described by the sellers as ''our sanctuary within the Sanctuary", the floor plan makes this home feel different from the moment you walk through the front door. Instead of moving directly into the living space, your eye is drawn to the interior courtyard at the center of the home. It softens the transition into the main living areas while bringing natural light into the entry and hallway throughout the day and creating an outdoor space that extends the livability of the home beyond the backyard alone. Just off the entry and garage access, a built-in drop zone with cabinetry creates an organized transition space for everyday essentials while connecting seamlessly to the main-level bedroom and adjacent bath. The dedicated office features glass doors, dual built-in desks, storage cabinetry, and display shelving, creating a polished workspace with a cohesive custom design. As the home opens into the main living spaces, large plank tile flooring carries throughout the dining area, great room, and kitchen, creating a cohesive feel across the heart of the home. The kitchen becomes the natural centerpiece, anchored by an oversized island with seating for at least four and surrounded by more cabinetry and counter space than most buyers expect to find. Designed for both everyday living and larger-scale entertaining, it features a gas cooktop with stainless hood, wall oven, eat-in dining area, and a walk-in pantry spacious enough to handle Costco runs, secondary appliances, and the overflow that comes with real life rather than staged living. At the top of the staircase, a wide landing creates a natural transition into the second level. The laundry room is positioned here as a true utility space with storage cabinetry, sink, and folding counter already built in. Just beyond, the loft functions as a comfortable second living area with direct access to a private balcony large enough for seating and one more place to step outside and enjoy the Arizona evenings. The second level includes two secondary bedrooms and a shared bath, along with a separate ensuite bedroom that offers additional privacy and flexibility for guests. The primary suite has the scale and separation to feel like its own wing of the home. The bath was redesigned with a brand-new walk-in shower featuring a glass surround and dual-entry design, paired with designer tile selections that create a polished, spa-like feel. Quartz countertops, executive-height vanities, and an expansive 15.10 x 11.6 walk-in closet complete the space. Outside, the backyard was designed for year-round Arizona living with covered and open-air spaces. The pool with water feature and built-in fire pit anchor the backyard, while turf and low-maintenance landscaping create a space that feels polished without requiring constant upkeep. Within Sanctuary, residents enjoy a gated setting with neighborhood parks, walking paths, a clubhouse with catering kitchen, fitness center, resort-style heated community pool, and annual community events that have helped make the neighborhood one of the most sought-after enclaves in Desert Ridge. Beyond the neighborhood itself, the location places some of the Valley's most recognized lifestyle destinations within easy reach. Afternoon golf at Wildfire Golf Club, dinner reservations at High Street, weekends at the JW Marriott, shopping at Scottsdale Quarter and Kierland Commons, hiking throughout Reach 11, or evenings in Cave Creek all become part of the rhythm of living in this part of North Phoenix.
