Unexpected! Handcrafted wood and steel gate welcomes guests to an enchanting botanical garden with an infinity-flowing water feature created by Ten Eyck Landscape Architects - a most gracious courtyard transition to wide entrance doors. Immediately impressive is the foyer and expansive great room evocative of a Santa Fe ambiance. High ceilings, custom clear-story beveled windows, and French doors filter light from patios. The home has been meticulously maintained and renovated by owners to include a complete, high-end kitchen designed by Sandra Evans, ASID, of Knoell & Quidort Architects. Both baths have been tastefully updated. Please see ''SUPPLEMENT'' tab for detailed list of improvements. Prime location within Villa Tercera, an established gated community in Phoenix Central Avenue 6827 N 4th Place, Phoenix 85012
