Surprise has become the destination of choice in the Northwest Valley. But with property values appreciating exponentially in Surprise through the first three quarters of 2005, El Mirage has become a more viable option for many home buyers.

Enter this spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in Dysart Park, just over a mile from the Surprise city limits in El Mirage. Start with the tiled entryway and vaulted ceilings overhead. Move into the spacious kitchen with double islands, the second containing the sink and doing double-duty as a breakfast bar. An open floorplan allows someone in the kitchen to remain in contact with the rest of the family in the living room, located in the home's northeast corner.

Just off the family room is an oversized den/office, which also could serve as a fourth bedroom. Back in the main hallway, you can turn right into the large master suite complete with a bathroom with double sinks and upgraded countertops, or turn left to the three oversized secondary bedrooms.

From the extra bay windows to the countertops to the cabinets and tile, this home was beautifully updated and immaculately maintained.

And it's available for only $264,900 -- an extremely affordable price for nearly 1,900 square feet in the Northwest Valley.

Ready to say goodbye to your starter home and give yourself the luxurious life you deserve? Welcome to Litchfield Manor in Surprise - close but not too close to the Grand Avenue retail corridor, Surprise Stadium and local schools.

Your new life starts at the dramatic, extra-wide staircase in the entry, with double landings leading to the four upstairs bedrooms. To your left are rooms for the kids, your office or whatever extra space you may need. To your right is another extra bedroom and the master suite, complete with a spacious walk-in closet and views of the White Tank Mountains. The master bathroom has upgraded fixtures, a separate shower and tub and a convinently-located linen closet.

Back downstairs you'll find separate living and family rooms, a separated dining area big enough to handle even the largest tables, a butlers' pantry between the kitchen and dining area and then the kitchen itself -- upgraded counters and cabinets and plenty of room to maneuver.

Got some toys? The 3-car tandem garage has the space, and the home also features an RV gate.

And last but not least, the home is situated across the street from a neighborhood park ... my daughter's already tried the playset and gives it her personal thumbs up.

Priced to sell at $448,000, this home is being sold below the per-square-foot cost of other homes in the same subdivision.
