Set behind the gates of McDowell Mountain Ranch, this single-level residence reflects true pride of ownership and a thoughtful commitment to quality--over $100,000 in recent property improvements designed to elevate everyday living. From the moment you step inside, the home feels refined and welcoming, anchored by brand-new French oak wood flooring (2026) and an open layout that connects living, dining, and kitchen spaces with ease. The remodeled kitchen (2024) is the heart of the home, featuring white Shaker cabinetry, an oversized island and breakfast bar, newer stainless appliances (2024), and a Viking refrigerator--a clean, timeless finish that fits both quiet mornings and entertaining. The split primary suite offers separation and comfort, with a spacious bath including double vanity and separate tub and shower. Outside, the home's setting truly shines: a front courtyard entry leads to a professionally landscaped backyard with mountain views, a Pebble Tec saltwater pool and spa, and upgraded pool equipment plus a pool heater (2024)--creating a resort-style experience at home. Gather under the covered patio, pull the motorized retractable awning for shade, and enjoy the built-in gas BBQ. Additional features include a dog run and dog door, and a 2-car garage with epoxy floors, storage cabinetry, and a workbench. Zero interior steps add ease and flexibility. McDowell Mountain Ranch amenities include community pool/spa, tennis, golf, and biking/walking paths. 3D tour and floor plan included.
