Set on 1.99 acres in Wickenburg's coveted Listening Hills area, this four-bedroom, three-bathroom home has presence, privacy and a kitchen that may cause otherwise reasonable people to become very particular about cookware. At its center is a chef's kitchen equipped for far more than reheating dinner. A six-burner gas range provides the firepower, while the farmhouse sink and beautiful countertops combine serious function with an elevated finish. There is ample space for preparation, serving and the everyday activity that inevitably finds its way into the kitchen. With four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, the home offers flexibility for a larger household, visiting guests or dedicated space for work and hobbies. The primary suite is arranged as a private destination of its own, complet with a soaking tub and direct access to the backyard. Morning swims no longer require a tour through the house, and slipping outside for a quiet start to the day becomes almost too convenient. The pool gives the backyard a clear purpose during Arizona's warmer months, while the surrounding acreage provides welcome separation from neighboring properties. The setting, pool and generous interior work equally well for lively gatherings, visiting guests or a perfectly uneventful afternoon with nowhere else to be. Polished without becoming overly formal, this Listening Hills home delivers the space, kitchen and outdoor living buyers hope to find, along with a floorplan prepared for real life in all its occasionally crowded glory.
