About this home

Rare north-facing backyard -- the most coveted orientation in Arizona -- backs to a serene lake with view fencing and a private gate leading straight onto the walking trail that circles the water. Open space on one side adds extra privacy. Entertain by the pool and spa with a soothing waterfall, all framed by lake views. Inside, the remodeled kitchen shines with quartz countertops, updated backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and flooring. Vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light fill the home, freshly painted throughout. One of four bedrooms is downstairs with lake views -- perfect as a home office -- while three more, including a spacious primary suite, are upstairs alongside a versatile loft. The primary retreat features a private balcony overlooking the lake and pool/spa... Garage includes built-in storage cabinets. WHY CRYSTAL GARDENS FEELS DIFFERENT. At Crystal Gardens you get to live beside more than 70 acres of engineered wetlands and connected lakes that filter and recharge Avondale's water supply. This isn't a decorative pond -- it's a real conservation system that improves water quality, creates habitat, and gives the neighborhood something unique in North Avondale. Daily life here includes walking and biking paths that wrap the water and catch and release fishing. Nearby Friendship Park adds a community fishing pond that allows you to keep your catch, a splash pad, and playgrounds. Homes are established here with lake-facing backyards that feel like a private retreat. Conveniently located minutes from I-10 and Loop 101, Gateway Pavilions, State Farm Stadium, Topgolf, Desert Diamond Casino, and the new VAI resort entertainment development under construction. This is a rare West Valley neighborhood where daily life includes real water, trails, and open space. Living in this home in this community gives you a rare blend of privacy, lake view, and a backyard that makes you feel like you are on a daily vacation.
