Anthem has staked out a name for itself as a prestigious, comfortable and exclusive place to own a home. Right off the I-17, commuting into downtown is quick and easy, and Lake Pleasant is a mere 15 minutes away for those weekend getaways. Parkside at Anthem is a close, safe family-oriented community, with a community center, community pools, exercise rooms, playground, parks, tot lots, greenbelts, BBQ Ramadas and walking paths. This dashing home has a wonderfully large backyard, which is free and clear for any installation the mind can think of. There is an extended covered patio, scattered shade trees and a gas bib for BBQ hook-up. Desert landscaping fills the front yard, with a rock and gravel foundation interspersed with tall leafy trees, shrubbery and desert foliage. Both yards are serviced by an electric timed drip/irrigation system, and the 2 car garage has an electric door opener. For the sake of convenience there is a half bathroom with a precious pedestal sink to the right of the entryway, and to the left there is a hall closet. 10 foot ceilings extend a heightened sense throughout the home, and upgraded lighting fixtures add a touch of class. Optimally outfitted, the family room offers upgraded ceiling fans, arcadia doors to the backyard, and a  built-in entertainment center with a negotiable RCA 52 inch HDTV. Adjacent is the cheerful and airy kitchen, with a center island, smooth tile flooring, honey glazed oak cabinetry, a large pantry, glass flat-top stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, side by side refrigerator and negotiable deep freezer. Appealing arched window accents line the stairway and each of the guest rooms is very large. The master bathroom has a walk-in closet and private bathroom.
