Our house is 2,204 square feet, with 3 bedrooms, a den, and 2 bathrooms. We offer it as a 3 bedroom as we keep our personal property in the den while we are away, so we state the rentable area as 2,000 square feet.
The house was renovated top-to-bottom in 2014, including new kitchen and bath cabinets, appliances, flooring, paint, landscape, and so on. Some of the photos were taken prior to completion of the renovations. We have a tenant in the house through October 31st. We will update photos once they move out that will show new exterior paint, added decorating items, etc.
The house is well stocked with all the pots & pans, small appliances, etc. that you would expect. We have somewhat of a library and games collection. There are bikes, tennis rackets, pool floats, etc. There are large flat-screen TVs in the family room and master bedroom. We provide satellite TV with the NHL and NFL packages. There is a wood-burning fireplace in the family room which actually gets used quite a bit in the winter months. The dining table is a large counter-height table which is square allowing four couples to visit equally.
We are located on a corner lot in a cul-de-sac, so the yard is quite private. Grapefruit, lemons, and limes grow on the property; they are best January through April. There is a sand area with a fire pit and picnic table, so plan on cooking s'mores. Shaded sitting areas front and back allow you to escape the Arizona sun if you so desire.
We have a pool (unfortunately the insurance company made us take the diving board out, sorry). The pool is fully visible from the kitchen and family room. We have a removable pool fence; if you have young children please let us know in advance and we will set it up for you.
We are located in a quiet Southeast valley neighborhood, with a community pool, hot tub, and tennis courts. There is a large fitness club 1/2 mile away that will give a one-week trial membership if you are so inclined.
We are 15 minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport (all the major carriers), and 25 minutes from Mesa-Gateway airport (Allegiant Air, etc). We are less than a mile from the 101 Price Freeway (and yet you cannot hear any traffic while in the yard) making quick access to shopping malls, sporting venues, etc.
Come for NHL, NFL, NBA, MLB, PGA, NASCAR, NHRA, IHBA. All are an easy drive. We are quite close to many of the MLB spring training facilities. The Phoenix area also offers the finer things in life. Numerous restaurants, museums, hiking trails, golf courses, shopping malls, etc. are nearby.
We provide our guests with a visitor book that includes our favorite activities and destinations, as well as our recommendations for restaurants and shopping. We have lived in Arizona since 1985 and enjoy sharing our experiences with visitors.
We hope to hear from you soon.
Your hosts,
Frank & Tammy
