OPENING
There are houses. And then there are homes that reach out and hold you.
This is one of those homes.
Tucked into Valencia Groves on a rare third-acre lot, this 3,455 sq ft Mesa residence offers something the market has almost stopped producing: soul. Fifteen mature citrus trees. A backyard built for living, not listing photos. A finished basement that rewrites what this address can do for a family. Built new in 2000, loved for 25 years, and priced with the kind of honesty that respects your time and your intelligence.
Come with an open mind. Leave with a decision.

OUTDOOR LIVING -- WHERE THIS HOME ANNOUNCES ITSELF
You will feel it the moment you step through the gate. The Valencia orange will guide you.
A deep covered patio with ceiling fans opens to a built-in outdoor kitchen -- gas grill, tile prep counter, storage built in. Nothing to haul out. Nothing to put away. Just a space that's ready when you are. Beyond it, a curved adobe fire pit terrace with banco seating wraps around open lawn framed by fifteen mature citrus trees -- twelve Valencia oranges, two lemons, one tangerine. Flood irrigated, basins in place, and producing every season.
And in the spring, the orange blossoms arrive before you open the gate. If you've spent any time in Arizona, you already know what that means. Surrounded by your own grove, at your own home -- it's something you don't forget.
The lawn beyond is a canvas waiting for your signature. Two rows of mature privacy trees -- along the side and rear -- already grown in and standing. Open space genuinely ready for a pool, spa, or casita. The groundwork is laid. The dream is yours to finish.
MAIN FLOOR LIVING
Warm. Open. Designed for real life.
The maple kitchen anchors the great room with quiet confidence -- large island with seating, gas cooktop, double wall ovens, recessed lighting that flatters every hour of the day. The adjoining dining area moves easily from Tuesday dinner to Saturday entertaining. A separate formal living and dining room near the entry gives you the rarest thing in an open-plan world: a door you can close. New porcelain plank flooring runs the full main level, grounding everything in clean, lasting style.
PRIMARY SUITE
Rest here. Really rest.
Vaulted ceilings. French doors that open directly to the backyard. And a spa-style bath that earns the name -- frameless glass walk-in shower, rain head, pebble floor, dual niches, glass block window, dual vanity, oversized walk-in closet. This is not a cosmetic refresh. This is a bath that was reimagined and executed well, with the feel of newer luxury construction and none of the compromise.
THE BASEMENT -- MESA'S MOST UNDERRATED ROOM
In a city where finished basements are rare, this one is a revelation.
Seven hundred and eighty-four square feet of intentional, livable space. Step-lit carpeted stairs. Full 9' ceilings. Ceiling fans. Windows. New carpet. An open layout that adapts to whatever this season of life requires -- theater, gym, second family room, game room, creative studio. A private back bedroom sits removed from the main area, quiet and self-contained: the ideal office, guest retreat, or teen suite.
The basement doesn't just add square footage. It adds a dimension to how this home lives -- and it's the reason this address works for families that other homes in this price range simply cannot accommodate.
SPLIT-BEDROOM LAYOUT & GARAGE
Two additional bedrooms, a dedicated den or sixth bedroom, and a full bath -- configured for guests, multigenerational living, remote work, or whatever the next chapter calls for. The 2.5-car garage includes an extended bay and generous enclosed storage.
CLIMATE-CONTROLLED STORAGE -- ONLY IN ARIZONA DOES THIS MATTER THIS MUCH
Step off the main living level into something Mesa homes almost never offer: a fully enclosed, temperature-stable storage room that holds steady year-round. Not a garage bay climbing toward 120° in July. An air-conditioned space purpose-built for bulk buying, pantry overflow, emergency preparedness, specialty storage, or a dedicated upright freezer. If you've ever lost food or supplies to an Arizona summer, you already understand exactly what this room is worth.
LOCATION & DOCUMENTATION
Minutes from Loop 202 and the Mesa/Gilbert corridor -- connected without feeling crowded. Environmental and air-quality testing current, thorough, and on file. All appliance manuals and owner documentation transfer with the home. Available upon request, no hesitation.
CLOSING
The rainbow shown over the For Sale sign in the gallery is real -- a memorable image for a home with a story worth remembering.
OWNER COMMENTARY
We built this home in 2000 and raised our family inside these walls. The kitchen, upstairs carpet, and bathrooms are original -- the master bath being the exception, with an updated floor and shower. The price reflects all of it, and we mean that honestly. We've already made concessions already in the price. We're open to more for the right buyers.
Ron -n- Amy
Come see it in person. The citrus, the backyard, the basement, the storage room -- none of it photographs the way it actually lives. We think you'll feel the difference the moment you walk in.
