A "home with a view." This would be one way of describing the stunning home for sale on Back Creek Way (42555 N. Back Creek Way, Anthem, AZ 85086.) Although, it wouldn't do the experience of standing on this property nearly enough justice.
This Espirit model in the Country Club boasts four bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, Den and Office for its next lucky family.
The experience starts not when one sets foot on the property, rather, it is when one drives up the winding incline of Back Creek Drive on the way to this 3900-square foot home with personality. A sunset drive time is ideal, so you can take in the beauty of the house, nestled in the foothills of Daisy Mountain , dotted with saguaros that grow wild on the mountainside.

One of the greatest things about this location is that it even though the house dwellers are not isolated, the feeling while in the house is one of total and complete privacy and seclusion. The house is elevated such that the neighbors are not visible, and the home dwellers are not visible to their neighbors.
The front of this home has a comfortable patio area, maximizing the gorgeous view. The oval-shaped front entryway is highlighted by decorative Travertine tile, that runs through the home's common areas. The Living, Dining, and Office areas feature distinctive walnut wood flooring.
To the right of the entryway is a formal dining area, which opens up to an elegant home office. Directly ahead of the entry area is the great room, which features a comfortable living area with entertainment niche and a fireplace for cozy nights. Also included in this great room is a dream kitchen with attractive, ample granite countertops that not only cover the spacious island but wrap around the perimeter of the kitchen, providing lots of work space for the chef in your family, and alternative office space with a built-in desk. Cabinet space is abundant, and practical for storing all of your favorite culinary tools and equipment. The kitchen features a beautiful wood-paneled double-door refrigerator that coordinates with the wood used for the cabinets. |

| One of the greatest things about this home is the split floor plan, and the fact that every bedroom has its own personal bathroom! The Master Bedroom is spacious with a complete wall covered with plantation shutters that looks out onto the "entertainer's backyard." There is also a separate exit from the Master Bathroom to the backyard. The Master Bathroom is built for luxury and relaxation, with its glass block wall that rambles along the entry and leads to a large, open, tiled shower. There is an over-sized Jacuzzi bathtub and a walk in closet that could easily double as another bedroom. |

The Backyard is built for parties, with a patio that extends across the entire rear of the house, a large, elevated pool to the right of the patio with a hot tub and sitting areas on both sides that could accommodate patio table and chairs. To the left of the patio is a large built-in outdoor kitchen featuring a grill, beehive fireplace, and spacious sitting area.
The dream is complete in the details of this home: gorgeous crown molding, neutral, sophisticated colors, skylights, soft water system, reverse osmosis, security system, upgraded ceiling fans, and sunscreens. This one will make you sit up and take notice! |
