Escape the ordinary and get inspired by this architecturally-unique, Spanish-influenced home in the picturesque Hidden Manor neighborhood. Unusually rich in character, this custom-built home is situated on a 18,000 square foot lot with remarkable outdoor spaces that have taken decades to cultivate. The curb appeal is a 10/10 with lush lawns, a meandering front walkway surrounded by a canopy of yellow bells and an entry loggia/courtyard with latticed roof, mature ficus trees and stately columns. This special home captures the essence of AZ living with gorgeous surroundings, classic interiors and charming outdoor spaces. The interior and exterior were freshly painted in 2024. The vaulted and beamed ceilings in the living areas feel both grand and welcoming, with complementary wood + laminate flooring underfoot. Rich, textured walls create a very European feeling, with the prominence of the interior columns. The living room's extraordinary design will instantly lift your mood, with all the magnificent natural light filtering in. Just off the living room is the cozy family room, which features a wood-clad ceiling and 2 sets of French doors that open to the rear patio for entertaining. A full wall fireplace brings warmth and comfort, with bench seating, firewood alcove and a wood mantel. Don't miss the decorative loft space overhead which can be made into a fun, hidden room or re-purposed for storage needs. Prep and enjoy meals in the classically-styled, eat in-kitchen. Overlooking the park-like rear yard, the kitchen also opens to the living space, making it perfect for gatherings. Crisp white recessed panel cabinetry is paired with black granite counters. There is a breakfast bar and a built-in desk niche, along with a breakfast area that is perfect for everyday dining. The spacious walk-in pantry/butler's pantry is an unexpected delight with walls of built-in cabinetry + shelving, ample counter space, second full size refrigerator, picture window and pull-down stairs access to the attic space for additional storage opportunities. Retreat to the primary suite for rest and relaxation. It offers dual closets, newer carpet and a spacious, private bath with dual sinks and tiled tub/shower. The generous secondary bedrooms have walk-in closets and newer carpet. The 4th bedroom is split and would make a wonderful guest suite or home office.

There will surely be some epic backyard parties in your future! You'll be entertaining in style from the poolside kitchen ramada with concrete bar top, built-in BBQ, fridge and swivel-mount for TV, all surrounded by a canopy of mature trees and lush, sprawling lawns. Whether you are taking a dip in the sparkling pool to cool off in the summer or gathering around the paver-lined, sunken firepit in the cooler months, you'll be in your own private paradise. You'll find yourself marveling at your park-like surroundings, which include a concrete sports court, spacious fenced garden area and in-ground pond. An assortment of trees include ash and ficus trees, along with tasty tangerine and lemon trees + hearty grape vines. Shade sails and misters help keep you cool and the sprawling lawns invite play. There are RV gates on both sides of the home, so you can bring your toys. The Northwest valley location can't be beat. Nearby many local staples/destinations along with the best culinary, retail, and entertainment epicenters (less than a mile to Trader Joe's and Arrowhead town center). Hidden Manor is a special enclave of homes on large lots with an active neighborhood watch. The HOA is a modest $7/mo fee. The community was originally marketed to tennis lovers, with shared, private tennis courts as an option. There are still several private tennis courts still in use today-check out the aerial views of the neighborhood-it is just so cool!
