1101 E Bethany Home Road (unit 1)

THIS MUST BE 'THE PLACE'---prepare to fall in love with this authentic c.1961 mid-century modern enclave of only 30 residences designed by architects Knight & McDaniel in desirable North Central Phx! Spoiler alert: this is not your average condo. This place lives more like a spacious home than a condo---perfectly positioned as a corner unit with its own private walled rear yard and covered front patio. This home has no neighbors above/below, shares only 1 common wall and has direct access to the assigned parking. The last 2 bedroom unit in The Place with its own walled rear yard sold over 4 years ago! Yes-it is a unicorn!!! While gracefully preserved in all the right places, the extensive renovation served to enhance the home's mid-century modern design, infusing it with impressive interiors that perfectly align with the architecture. The enduring contemporary elevation offers remarkable character with clean lines, covered patios with architectural posts, walls of glass and stacked block façade. The original front door, doorbell and modern screen door nod to the unit's architectural pedigree. The impressive interiors are enriched with a blend of modern + contemporary elements and premium materials. The open floorplan offers the dreamiest natural light (you and your plants will love it here!). The living room's floor-to-ceiling window wall, exposed beamed ceilings, block walls and defined, yet flexible space ground the home in classic mid-century design. Exemplifying meticulous attention to detail, both in and out, this home offers a timeless modern aesthetic. The epic window wall overlooks the lush landscaping that the HOA immaculately maintains. Durable, water-resistant wide plank laminate floors flow throughout the home creating a cohesive aesthetic. The formal dining room is open to the living room and kitchen for seamless entertaining. Sputnik chandeliers add a playful glow to the living and dining rooms. Sleek, modern finishes elevate the kitchen into a stylish space to cook, create, and gather. Dark wood shaker-style cabinetry is paired with slab granite counters, tiled backsplash and newer classic white appliances including gas range/oven, built-in microwave, refrigerator and dishwasher. Meals can be enjoyed in the adjacent formal dining room or al fresco in the private, fully-walled rear yard. The split-bedroom layout offers dual primary suites, each with dual closets, beamed ceilings, ceiling fan and updated ensuite baths. Both bathrooms feature tiled showers with product niches (2nd ensuite has a tub/shower), subway tiled walls, timeless vanities with slab granite counters and contemporary finishes + fixtures. Convenient inside laundry with newer Samsung stackable washer/dryer are included in the sale. Additional major upgrades include new upgraded electrical panel (2022), gas tankless water heater (2023), HVAC (2020) and new PEX supply plumbing (2015-2018). The covered East-facing front patio greets the morning sunSet quietly facing the interior courtyard with Piestewa Peak mountain views, you are just a few steps from the sparkling community pool. The private rear yard features block fencing, pavers underfoot and gated access to parking. Additional features in the community include dedicated cooled storage locker, ample guest parking and immaculate grounds with mature trees and sprawling lawns.
