This single-story sanctuary boasts a clever split floor plan with a true master suite—ideal for families, multi-gen living, investors, or savvy ASU student house-hackers.

Supplements: Fresh AC hums quietly, dual-pane windows and doors seal in serenity, and outside, redesigned front-and-back landscaping thrives via auto-irrigation, creating a low-maintenance desert oasis.
