The home was completely reconfigured including relocating 2 bedrooms and the master bath. This dramatically increased the openness of the home. Our vision was to create an open and bright, comfortable, luxury golf course home with both indoor and outdoor entertaining in mind. Virtually EVERYTHING in the home was replaced with new during this remodel. All work was permitted through the City of Mesa. This is NOT a fix and flip. Our intent was for this to be our "forever" home, so even the most minor of details were considered, quality workmanship materials were a high priority and "no expense" was spared. Highlights of the 2019 remodel: All new, energy efficient, heavy-duty vinyl framed windows with 1" insulated Low-E glass. The rear of the home was completely re-framed to accept these very large windows to create an unobstructed panoramic view of the golf course unlike any other home in FOS. These Alpine brand windows have a lifetime warranty. The sunset views are amazing as well! The large, luxurious master bath was created in what was a bedroom. All rough-in plumbing, drain and sewer lines were installed by a licensed plumbing contractor. 100% sweat fitted copper pipe was used. A new main water shut off valve and pressure regulator were also installed, as well as a soft water loop.
