Some homes deserve a fresh introduction. Located at 13024 S 45th Place, Phoenix, AZ 85044, this refreshed single-level home is returning to the market with valuable improvements, renewed appeal, and an inviting opportunity for buyers searching for an Ahwatukee 55+ home for sale.
The property offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms, approximately 1,112 square feet, and a two-car garage. Recent improvements include a brand-new roof, completed foundation repairs, fresh interior paint, and new bedroom carpet. These updates give the home a clean, refreshed presentation while preserving the comfortable character that makes it special.
At a glance: Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, 1,112 square feet, single-level living, a two-car garage, a gated courtyard, and access to community amenities.
The experience begins with mature desert landscaping and a welcoming gated courtyard. It creates a pleasant transition between the neighborhood and the home while offering space to add seating, colorful plants, or a few personal touches.
Inside, the living room feels open and bright. Vaulted ceilings add a sense of space, while sliding glass doors connect the room to the patio and backyard. Media niches, plantation shutters, a ceiling fan, and pre-wired surround sound provide practical features for everyday living and entertaining.
The dining area receives abundant natural light through its bay-style windows. It is a cheerful setting for morning coffee, casual meals, or gathering with friends.
This home was taken off the market so important work could be completed before it was reintroduced. The improvements include:
Additional improvements made in recent years include tile flooring in the kitchen and bathrooms and an air-conditioning unit replaced around 2020. Buyers should review all available documentation and independently verify the age, condition, warranties, and completion of improvements that are important to their purchase.
The bright galley-style kitchen offers built-in appliances, freshly painted cabinetry, tile flooring, and generous storage. The refrigerator conveys with the property, and the kitchen provides direct access to the garage for added convenience.
The neutral color palette makes it easy for a buyer to introduce personal style through décor, lighting, or accessories without needing to start over.
Yes. The primary bedroom offers new carpet, natural light, a mirrored-door closet, direct outdoor access, and a private bathroom. The bathroom includes a make-up vanity, refreshed cabinets, and a recently retiled shower.
The bedroom closets are lined with cedar, providing a distinctive feature and additional protection for stored clothing.
The second bedroom offers flexibility for changing needs. Built-in shelving and a desk make it useful as an office or hobby room, while the built-in Murphy bed allows the space to accommodate overnight guests without permanently filling the room with a bed.
Storage is one of the home’s practical strengths. In addition to the bedroom closets and built-in shelving, the two-car garage contains multiple storage cabinets, overhead cabinetry, and a cedar-lined closet. The washer and dryer are also located in the garage and are included with the home.
The open backyard features low-maintenance desert landscaping and access from both the living room and primary suite. It offers a simple outdoor canvas where a future owner can create a sitting area, add container plants, or enjoy the space as it is.
Residents have access to recreational opportunities through the Ahwatukee Recreation Center. Amenities include an upgraded fitness center, saltwater lap pool, outdoor resort pool, pickleball, and additional community activities.
The homeowners association also provides certain exterior and block-wall painting services on a rotation. Community services, fees, schedules, rules, and amenities may change, so buyers should verify current information directly with the homeowners association.
Yes. The home provides single-level living without interior stairs.
The home offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms within approximately 1,112 square feet.
Yes. The property includes a two-car garage with generous built-in storage.
Yes. The property is located in an established Ahwatukee 55+ community. Buyers should verify all applicable occupancy requirements and community rules.
If this refreshed Ahwatukee home sounds like the opportunity you have been waiting for, I would be happy to answer your questions and arrange a private showing.
