Charming, well cared for patio home in the best location in Scottsdale. Just blocks away from the Scottsdale Greenbelt and Chapparal Park and lake. Less than 5 miles from Fashion Square mall and Old Town. The private courtyard welcomes you in and you will feel the sense of warmth come over you as you enter this home's spacious foyer with a focus on the sunny atrium which lights up the home. You will love the private dining room that leads to the galley style kitchen with granite countertops and stainless appliances that have all been updated in the last few years. The breakfast room perfectly overlooks the charming patio - great for morning coffee, afternoon tea or an evening glass of wine. An oversized family room with fireplace and access to the private back patio. There's more... The primary suite is a HUGE retreat - larger than most hotel rooms. The primary en suite bathroom has been perfectly updated with a large glass shower enclosure. The guest suite is also generously sized.
