Merit Estates is a quiet pocket of North Phoenix near Union Hills and 7th Street, tight-knit at the neighborhood level but minutes from freeway access and the shops and restaurants along the corridor. This two-story sits behind desert front landscaping and a courtyard gate, with a two-car garage and a covered front entry. Step through the French doors and vaulted ceilings open the living room, with windows that stretch nearly the full height of the wall pulling light in from every angle. New LVP runs underfoot, paired with new HVAC and updated insulation, and the dual pane windows carry a lifetime warranty. Under the stairs, a built-in storage nook keeps things tucked away. The kitchen keeps its antique maple cabinets and pantry, with granite counters that carry through to the guest and master bathrooms. A formal dining room sits just off the kitchen, and a fireplace anchors the family room for the cooler months. Upstairs, the primary suite has a full bath with a double vanity, plus two more bedrooms and a third full bath for guests. RO and soft water run to the entire home. Out back is the real payoff. A privacy wall encloses a courtyard -- part security, part quiet retreat -- shaded by mature trees with a fountain running and only late afternoon sun, so the patio stays cool until evening. It's the kind of space built for sitting outside with a crossword and the sound of the fountain and birds. Beyond it, a private pool with newer equipment and a covered patio round out a backyard that leans more Tuscany than tract home.
