Description

Pride of ownership shines in this well-kept South Mountain gem! The same owner has lovingly cared for this home for over 40 years, and it shows from the moment you arrive at 1938 E Desert Dr. Fresh exterior and just-painted interior give the home a clean, move-in-ready feel, while big picture windows capture those beautiful South Mountain views. Major upgrades were completed 3 years ago, including a new roof, new A/C, and owned solar panels—helping keep utility costs low and giving you long-term peace of mind. Inside, the layout offers comfortable living and dining spaces, well-sized primary suite, and flexible areas for a home office, guests, or hobbies. Outside, the property really opens up: a trailer/RV gate and large parking area provide plenty of room for extra vehicles, toys.
