$2000 CLOSING CREDIT! Sunrise to sunset, views from this townhome never disappoint! Upgraded, move-in ready, single-level, this transitional style home sits high in the hills to capture stunning mountain views.

Designed in an ideal great room style, upgrades include beautiful, classic wood floors, floor-to-ceiling stone surrounding gas fireplace, and glass mosaic backsplash rising to the kitchen ceiling. Solid maple cabinetry is topped with high-grade slab granite in the cook's kitchen with island seating and stainless appliances. The great room, 2 bedrooms and large den/office feature large windows framing gorgeous views making the home bright and cheery. (Click ''More'') Find more upgrades in the garage with built-in cabinets, a workbench and epoxy floor. The sellers used this as their rec room where they shot darts and entertained neighbors in this friendly community. Wear your bathing suit and flip flops to your pool right across the street, with new lounge chairs, a ramada with tables and BBQs for pool parties. The magic hour brings romance to the intimate, private patio surrounded by mountains and nature. An excellent value with the next highest 2-bedroom listing is priced $100, 000 more at $735K! Easy access to Shea means a quick trip to Scottsdale, Mesa, Saguaro Lake or the high country. The location at the southeastern edge of Fountain Hills is a short trip to downtown's unique shops, tasty restaurants and the world-famous fountain at Fountain Park, the community gathering spot and site of art fairs, music and entertainment events. On Wednesdays in season, the Farmers' Market on the Avenue of the Fountains brings fresh, interesting food, and authentic arts and crafts. We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort, just 7 minutes from your door, offers a new, modern hotel; Ember, a world-class, destination dining experience with piano bar; and a casino with gaming comparable to Las Vegas close to home! Soon you can enjoy an elevated experience of the town's prestigious designation when the International Dark Sky Discovery Center opens its Observatory, treating visitors to the largest telescope in the Greater Phoenix area. Fountain Hills has something for everyone to enjoy and is well-known for its emphasis on living near nature with hiking trails, parks and a master-plan that focuses on Natural Area Open Space (NAOS) land in every community. Besides lower home prices than Scottsdale, a surprise to many is the town's low property tax, adding even more value to this very special view home.
