A Charming Single-Level Cul-de-Sac Home with an Easy-Flow Floor Plan
This single-level home offers 1,760 square feet of comfortable living space, thoughtfully designed for everyday living and easy entertaining. Located on a cul-de-sac, it enjoys a quieter street setting with minimal through traffic.
Newer LVP-style flooring runs throughout much of the home, helping create a cohesive, updated feel and making day-to-day care simple. Plantation shutters add a classic look while giving you flexible light control and privacy throughout the home. With two bedrooms plus an enclosed Arizona room, the layout offers flexibility for everyday living, hobbies, or visiting guests. The inviting Arizona room is accessed through French doors that open up the space and bring in additional light.
Because everything is on one level and much of the living area has hard-surface flooring, it is easier to move through the home, bring in groceries, and host friends without dealing with interior stairs.
Updated Kitchen with Stainless Appliances
The heart of the home is the updated kitchen, ideal for cooking, baking, and gathering with friends and family. Features include:
- Stainless steel appliances
- Quartz countertops
- White soft-close cabinets and drawers
- Convenient pull-out shelves for easy access
- Pantry for additional food and small-appliance storage
- Stainless steel French-door refrigerator with water and ice in the door, included with the home
- A functional island that adds prep space, additional storage, and seating for three bar stools
Having the refrigerator included—along with these thoughtful storage and appliance upgrades—makes this kitchen truly move-in ready.
Light and Bright AZ Room for Relaxing or Entertaining
Just off the main living area, French doors lead to a light, bright Arizona room, complete with its own mini-split system. This flexible space can be:
- A cozy sitting room or TV space
- A hobby or craft room
- An overflow area for visiting family and friends
The mini split can heat the space in the winter and provide air conditioning in the summer, allowing you to enjoy this room comfortably year-round. Because it has its own climate control, you can tailor the temperature to your comfort without affecting the rest of the home.
Comfortable Bedrooms and Walk-In Shower
The home includes two bedrooms, each with space for everyday furniture. The primary bedroom offers room for a larger bed, nightstands, and dressers so you do not feel cramped after downsizing.
The adjoining primary bathroom features a walk-in shower, a practical choice for many people who prefer not to step over a bathtub. A linen closet provides extra storage for towels, bedding, and everyday essentials, keeping the space organized and convenient.
The secondary bedroom can work well as a guest room, home office, or hobby room—especially when combined with the flexibility of the enclosed Arizona room.
Well-Equipped Laundry Room and Extra Storage
The laundry room is another standout feature of this home. You will appreciate:
- Abundant cabinet storage for cleaning supplies, linens, and seasonal items
- A convenient sink, ideal for hand-washing or quick clean-ups
- Included washer and dryer, so you can move in and start using the space right away
In addition, the home offers a two-car garage with extra storage space, providing room for tools, hobby items, golf gear, or seasonal décor. For many people who are downsizing, the biggest concern is, “Will I still have enough storage?” Between the pantry, the laundry room cabinets, and the garage storage, this home helps you right-size without feeling like you have to give up everything you love.
Low-Maintenance Backyard with Desert Landscaping
The backyard is designed for low maintenance, making this an excellent lock-and-leave option. Desert-style landscaping keeps yard work to a minimum, while still providing a pleasant outdoor setting. A covered patio offers a comfortable spot to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening beverage. The fenced backyard adds privacy and is perfect for pets or simply relaxing outside. You will also enjoy two orange trees, offering seasonal fruit and a touch of Arizona charm right in your own backyard.
Low HOA Fees, Big Lifestyle in a 55+ Community
One of the biggest advantages of Sunland Village is the combination of amenities and low HOA fees. For many homeowners, this balance is a key part of their long-term plan, particularly when thinking about:
- Downsizing from a larger home
- Reducing ongoing maintenance and utility demands
- Keeping monthly costs more predictable in retirement or pre-retirement years
Here, you are not just purchasing a home—you are buying into a community that supports an active, social lifestyle without excessive carrying costs.

Lock-and-Leave Convenience for Seasonal or Year-Round Living
With its desert landscaping and efficient single-level floor plan, this property works equally well as a full-time residence or a seasonal “lock-and-leave” home:
- Desert yard = no grass to mow
- Single-level layout = no interior stairs to navigate
- Updated interior finishes = less to remodel or repair
- Included refrigerator, washer, and dryer = fewer appliances to purchase
- Cul-de-sac location = comfortable setting to return to year after year
- Fenced yard, covered patio, pantry, and excellent storage = easy to enjoy and easy to maintain
For seasonal residents, the combination of a low-maintenance yard and an established community can make it easier to travel and then re-open the home when you return.
