Northridge has already taken care of the geography. Groceries, dinner, appointments and the rest of real life are all close by, leaving this single-level condo free to concentrate on being wonderfully easy to live in. Inside, two bedrooms and two bathrooms provide just the right amount of room, including an en suite that gives the primary bedroom a some privacy of its own. The gas range may inspire an old favorite, a new recipe or something you saved online six months ago with very good intentions. Garage parking keeps the car out of the Arizona sun, and the unfurnished interior means not one piece of somebody else's furniture gets a vote. Bring what you love, arrange it exactly as you please and enjoy a home that appears to have its priorities in excellent order.
