2025 CantaMia Home For Sale | 18141 W Hiddenview Dr

 

A new-construction home may begin with an attractive advertised price. However, that price may not include the backyard, extended patio, window coverings, custom storage, water-treatment systems, or other improvements buyers ultimately want.

That is what makes this highly upgraded CantaMia home at 18141 W Hiddenview Drive worth comparing with current new builds and builder spec homes in Goodyear.

Built in 2025, this move-in-ready home includes:

• $60,965 in documented builder upgrades included with the spec home
• $62,768 in documented homeowner improvements added after closing
• $123,733 in total documented upgrades and enhancements

• A completed backyard instead of an unfinished dirt yard
• An extended covered patio that adds shade and expands the usable living area
• Solar-powered electric roll-down patio shades
• Custom cabinets in the garage, laundry room, and primary walk-in closet
• Whole-house water treatment
• Water softener
• Reverse-osmosis drinking-water system
• Tankless water heater

These are not proposed projects or options displayed only in a model home. They are already installed and included with the property.

 

More Than $32,000 Invested in the Extended Patio and Backyard

 

 

 

 

One of the most important differences between this home and many newly constructed homes is the completed outdoor living area.

New builds are frequently delivered with an unfinished dirt backyard and a basic builder patio. Buyers may then need to arrange and pay for:

• Landscape design
• Grading and drainage
• Irrigation
• Gravel, plants, and trees
• Pavers and hardscape
• Patio expansion
• Additional shade
• HOA approval, when required
• Contractor scheduling
• Post-closing construction

At 18141 W Hiddenview Drive, the patio and backyard work has already been completed.

Extended Covered Patio and Backyard Buildout: $25,000

The homeowner invested approximately $25,000 in the extended covered patio and completed backyard.

• Extended covered patio
• Larger shaded outdoor living area
• Finished backyard landscaping
• Completed hardscape
• Space for outdoor dining
• Room for comfortable seating
• Backyard ready for immediate use
• Gas line stub for a future outdoor kitchen
• No unfinished dirt yard waiting for a future project

The extended patio is an especially valuable improvement in the Phoenix metro area.

Its additional roof coverage provides more shade than a basic builder patio and helps protect the outdoor seating and dining areas from direct desert sunlight.

The larger covered area also functions as an extension of the home’s living space. It can be used for morning coffee, outdoor meals, reading, relaxing, or spending time with guests.

Instead of moving into a new home and immediately beginning another major project, the next owner can enjoy a completed outdoor area from the day they move in.

Solar-Powered Electric Patio Shades: $7,729

The extended covered patio also includes solar-powered electric roll-down shades, representing an additional documented investment of $7,729.

• Push-button operation
• Additional shade from direct Arizona sunlight
• Reduced glare
• Greater comfort during warmer parts of the day
• Additional privacy when desired
• More flexibility for enjoying the patio throughout the year

Together, the extended covered patio, finished backyard, and solar-powered electric shades represent $32,729 in documented outdoor improvements.

 

Why a Cooled Garage with Mini-Split is Essential for Goodyear AZ Summers

 

 

One of the home’s most practical improvements is the mini-split heating and cooling system installed in the garage.

During Phoenix’s hot summers, an unconditioned garage can become extremely warm. The mini-split helps maintain cooler garage temperatures, making the space more comfortable and helping reduce the extreme heat exposure of items stored there.

This can be beneficial for:

• Vehicles
• Tools
• Seasonal decorations
• Household supplies
• Recreational equipment
• Hobby materials
• Exercise equipment
• Other temperature-sensitive belongings
• Accessing and organizing stored items during hot weather

The cooled garage is also more comfortable for hobbies, home projects, vehicle care, and short periods of activity during the summer.

Custom garage cabinetry provides organized storage for tools, household supplies, seasonal items, and recreational equipment.

 

Added Insulation and Ceiling Fans Throughout the Home

The homeowner added attic insulation beyond the original builder standard in the house, helping reduce heat transfer during Phoenix’s hottest months.

Ceiling fans have also been installed throughout the home, adding airflow and comfort in the primary living areas and bedrooms.

These are completed improvements, not merely builder prewiring.

 

A Popular Single-Story Marcato Floor Plan

The popular Marcato floor plan offers approximately 1,610 square feet of single-story living space.

The home includes:

• Two bedrooms
• Two full bathrooms
• Open kitchen with a large island
• Connected dining and living areas
• Flexible office/den
• Private primary suite
• Dual-sink primary vanity
• Oversized walk-in shower
• Walk-in closet with custom cabinetry
• Laundry room with custom cabinetry
• Attached two-car garage
• Custom garage cabinets
• Paver front porch

The flexible office/den adds useful space beyond the home’s two bedrooms. It may work well for computer use, reading, crafts, hobbies, exercise, or quiet relaxation while preserving the second bedroom for guests.

The primary suite is positioned toward the back of the home, creating separation from the front entry and second bedroom.

The second bedroom is near the front of the home and conveniently located next to the second full bathroom.

More Than $60,000 in Builder Upgrades Included With the Spec Home

This home was originally completed as a builder spec home with $60,965 in documented upgraded finishes and features already included.

These upgrades distinguish the property from a base-package new build.

• Custom cabinetry
• Pull-out shelves
• Soft-close drawers
• Quartz countertops
• GE Café gas range
• Upgraded tile backsplash
• LED under-cabinet lighting

• Calacatta-look marble shower surround

Custom Cabinets in the Garage, Laundry Room, and Primary Closet

 

 

 

 

 

 

Storage is another category where buyers frequently spend additional money after purchasing a new build.

This home includes custom cabinetry in three important areas:

• Primary walk-in closet
• Laundry room
• Garage

The documented investment in custom storage and organization totals $10,076.

 

Custom Primary Closet Cabinets

• Custom built-in cabinetry
• Shelving
• Drawers
• Organized clothing storage
• Dedicated space for shoes and accessories
• More efficient use of the closet

This completed storage system eliminates the need to hire a closet company after closing.

 

Custom Laundry-Room Cabinets

• Custom cabinetry

• Space for household supplies
• Improved organization

Custom Garage Cabinets

• Custom built-in cabinets
• Storage for tools

Whole-House Water Treatment, RO System, and Tankless Water Heater

The home includes $5,400 in documented water-system improvements:

• Whole-house water treatment system
• Water softener
• Reverse-osmosis drinking-water system
• Tankless water heater

The whole-house water treatment and water softener help address mineral content throughout the home.

The reverse-osmosis system provides filtered drinking water at its designated faucet for drinking and cooking.

The tankless water heater provides hot water on demand without relying on a traditional storage tank.

 

Upgraded Front Entry and Security Door

 

 

The homeowner invested $5,300 in front-entry improvements:

• Upgraded front entry door
• Separate front security door

The security door provides an additional barrier at the entrance. It also allows the main entry door to remain open for airflow when outdoor conditions are comfortable.

 

Exterior Sunscreens and Primary-Bedroom Electric Shade

 

 

The home includes $4,040 in documented window-treatment and sun-control improvements:

• Exterior window sunscreens
• One electric interior shade in the primary bedroom

The exterior sunscreens block a portion of the direct sunlight before it reaches the windows. This can help reduce heat entering the home, support indoor comfort, and help lower cooling-related electricity use during sunny Phoenix conditions.

The single electric shade in the primary bedroom provides convenient privacy and light control.

Window coverings and exterior sunscreens are frequently separate post-closing expenses when purchasing a newly built home. At this property, these features are already installed.
