3 Beds ⋅ 2 Baths ⋅ 7088690 MLS ⋅ 2,048 SqFt.

Completely reimagined with nearly $600K in improvements, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath single-level home in exclusive Canada Ridge reflects an extraordinary renovation where virtually every element was thoughtfully considered. The transformation includes a new roof, new oversized HVAC system, double insulation, premium flooring, custom woodwork, updated electrical, new fixtures and hardware, water softener and filtration systems, extensive stonework, beautifully redesigned baths, and a kitchen representing more than $200K in improvements. The kitchen is anchored by a 48-inch range and handcrafted hammered hood, complemented by rich stonework and timeless finishes. Designed to blur the distinction between indoors and out, interior walls were removed to create a more open layout, while the rear wall was replaced with custom floor-to-ceiling retractable glass doors overlooking the pool and lush backyard. A specially engineered structural beam eliminates the need for view-obstructing pillars, creating an uninterrupted connection to the outdoor living space. Plank ceilings extend from the main living area through the covered patio, while stone walls, exposed beams and custom details give the home remarkable warmth and character. Outside, travertine surrounds the upgraded saltwater pool and spa amid mature, thoughtfully designed landscaping. Improvements include replaced pool plumbing, filtration, tile, valves and electrical components, plus app-controlled lighting and pool functions. An outdoor hot/cold shower, paver additions and recently refreshed perimeter walls complete the private backyard setting. One of the home's most distinctive features is a pair of reclaimed wood beams sourced from a dismantled New Hampshire barn approximately 250 years old--dating the timbers to around the era of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Incorporated prominently into the renovation, they bring an authentic piece of history and one-of-a-kind character to the home. Set on an oversized cul-de-sac lot with North/South exposure, the property is one of just 64 residences in Canada Ridge, surrounded by views of Pinnacle Peak and the McDowell Mountains. AJ's Fine Foods, Mastro's Steakhouse, dining, everyday conveniences and Pinnacle Peak Country Club are within walking distance, with Market Street at DC Ranch, Grayhawk, DC Ranch and Silverleaf country clubs, WestWorld, Barrett-Jackson and the WM Phoenix Open just minutes away. The result is a comprehensive transformation centered on craftsmanship, longevity and exceptional indoor-outdoor Arizona living.
