Tucked into the prestigious Moon Valley neighborhood of North Phoenix, this beautifully maintained townhome enjoys a rare position directly against the Phoenix Mountain Preserve, the sprawling desert playground that includes Shaw Butte, Lookout Mountain, and North Mountain. Because the home backs directly to preserve land, nearly every window frames an unobstructed view of the surrounding desert peaks, and the trailheads that wind through this stretch of the preserve are practically outside the front door, making it effortless to head out for a sunrise hike or an evening walk with sweeping mountain scenery the entire way. Inside, the open and light filled floor plan has been freshly painted and thoughtfully updated throughout. The main level centers around a great room that flows into a wide galley kitchen and an inviting eat in dining area, anchored by a charming breakfast bar framed with a native stone accent wall. The kitchen itself has been elevated with updated Corian countertops and a stainless steel appliance suite from Amana and Bosch. Upstairs, both bedrooms are generously sized and each offers the convenience of two closets, while the primary suite includes a cozy window seat with built in storage tucked beneath it. Both bathrooms have been completely refreshed, including a downstairs powder room with playful 1950s style black and white diner tile and built in shelving that adds real personality to the space. Comfort and efficiency were clearly a priority for this home. Ceiling fans are installed in every room, and tinted, dual pane vinyl windows dressed with plantation shutters work alongside two skylights to keep the interior bright while holding down cooling costs. A spacious walk in laundry and storage room sits just off the large, partially covered patio, an easy spot to unwind after a long day or fire up the brand new gas grill for dinner outdoors. A fenced yard off the primary suite adds a private outdoor retreat with more of those signature mountain views, and a doggie door and security features round out the everyday conveniences. Beyond the mountain backdrop and trail access, this location places residents just minutes from Moon Valley's shopping, dining, and entertainment options, along with the option to join the nearby Gold Key Racquet Club for tennis and swimming. It is a rare chance to own a move in ready home in one of North Phoenix's most desirable pockets, where desert mountain views and trailside living come standard.
