1227 Sarafina Drive, Prescott, AZ 86301 (MLS# 1084867)

NOT ALL PRESCOTT LAKES HOMES ARE CREATED EQUAL. Beautiful where you can see it. Upgraded where you can't. 1227 Sarafina Drive is the rare property where virtually nothing is left to fix, replace or improve. From the finishes you notice the moment you walk through the door to the major systems working behind the scenes, this home has been thoughtfully and extensively transformed for the buyer who wants to move in, unpack and simply enjoy the Prescott Lakes lifestyle. The difference begins at the curb with a paver driveway, attractive stone accents, mature landscaping and beautiful mountain views. Step inside and the home immediately makes an impression with soaring 10- to 12-foot ceilings, 8-foot interior doors, fresh designer two-tone paint, professionally cleaned and sealed tile flooring and premium upgraded carpet. The combination creates an open, sophisticated feel that sets this home apart. At the heart of the home, the open-concept kitchen and great room were designed for gathering. Granite countertops, upgraded cabinetry with convenient pull-out shelving and glass-front accents, premium GE appliances, a new stainless-steel sink and faucet, and a generous island deliver both beauty and function. The adjoining great room is anchored by a beautiful gas fireplace, creating a warm and inviting centerpiece for everyday living and entertaining. The spacious primary suite offers its own private escape with a bay window, direct patio access and oversized walk-in closet. Both bathrooms have been beautifully refreshed with quartz countertops, undermount sinks, modern faucets and upgraded comfort-height fixtures, adding another layer of quality and thoughtful improvement throughout the home. But here's where this home truly separates itself from many others in Prescott Lakes: the pretty things were upgraded--but so were the expensive things you can't see. The tile roof underlayment and necessary tile repairs have been completed with warranty protection. Plumbing and electrical systems have been extensively updated, including an updated electrical panel, 23 new breakers, 42 new switches and a whole-home surge protector. The oversized 5-ton air-conditioning system and gas furnace have been fully serviced, while a new 50-gallon water heater with hot-water recirculation adds comfort and convenience. An owned whole-house water-softening system, central vacuum, smart thermostat and new smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors further demonstrate the level of attention invested in this property. Even the garage has been addressed with a new insulated 8-foot-tall garage door, serviced opener and freshly painted interior. A brand-new GE washer and dryer, custom blinds and shades, updated lighting, new ceiling fans and numerous additional improvements reinforce an important message: this wasn't a quick cosmetic makeover. This home was improved with long-term ownership in mind. And then there's the backyard. Exceptionally private and beautifully landscaped, this outdoor retreat is a feature that can be difficult to find. The expansive north-facing covered patio with ceiling fan is surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping, while privacy fencing creates a peaceful setting for morning coffee, evening dinners, entertaining friends or simply enjoying Prescott's beautiful four-season climate without the harsh afternoon sun. Located within sought-after Prescott Lakes, this home offers something increasingly valuable: confidence in what you're buying. The finishes are beautiful, the setting is private, and many of the major improvements future owners typically find themselves budgeting for have already been addressed. Upgraded. Immaculate. Private. Exceptionally complete. 1227 Sarafina Drive isn't simply another home for sale in Prescott Lakes. It's the home for the buyer who has been waiting for one where the work has already been done--and done right.
