Welcome to Star of Paradise, the most architecturally-distinct enclave of homes in the Sheaborhood. This James B. Jeffries 'Starlight Home' captures the soul of mid-century modern design while offering a reimagined floorplan and new-century, tech-forward features. The home's sprawling modern elevation is defined by a low-sloped roofline, exposed rafter tails and block construction with stone accents, built-in planters and modern mailbox monument. Set on a North/South-facing lot, this home is tucked away from major streets. Enjoy desert-adapted front landscaping, a spacious 2 car garage and expanded slab parking with RV gate access to the rear yard. The warm welcome begins with a low-walled front courtyard, which leads to the entry. This home checks a lot of boxes: cool architecture, rad neighborhood, 4 bedrooms with split primary suite, 2 bathrooms, 2 car garage, pool, upgraded home security AND self-sustaining, high-level-engineered solar system /full-house battery storage (house can be fully-powered by battery back-up system). Substantial improvements reflect a commitment to comfort and sustainability, including remodeled kitchen and baths, upgraded flooring, dual pane windows and doors, upgraded sleeved sewer lines, new roof '21, new 200amp electrical panel and new HVAC + ductwork '16. The interiors are enriched with a thoughtful blend of modern and contemporary elements paired with premium materials throughout. A gracious formal entry unfolds into expansive living and dining spaces, where durable Oak wood-look tile floors create a sense of visual continuity. The spacious living room is anchored by French doors that open seamlessly to the rear yard, inviting natural light and effortless indoor-outdoor connection. Sleek, modern finishes elevate the kitchen into a beautiful space to cook, create, and gather. Completely reimagined, it functions as both a welcoming social hub and a true culinary workspace, blending clean design with effortless practicality. Enduring finishes include classic white raised-panel cabinetry, solid quartz counters, glass tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances featuring a gas range/oven, dishwasher and built-in microwave. A double-door pantry sits just off the kitchen and there is ample room to add a kitchen island, if desired. Entertaining is seamless with a formal dining room located adjacent to the kitchen, where French doors open directly to the rear yard. A casual dining area offers additional flexibility and can easily serve as a secondary living space. The home offers 4 comfortable bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, each finished with a modern, timeless sensibility. Looking for a split primary suite that welcomes peaceful rest and relaxation?! The newly-created primary suite (once a living space) is a true retreat with vaulted ceilings, plush carpet, ceiling fan, European-style wardrobe and gorgeous natural light from 3 dual pane windows that are set on the cedar wood + exposed block accent wall. The primary bath continues the refined aesthetic with a slate tiled shower + jetted tub with frameless glass enclosure, hexagon tiled floors, electric toilet bidet, floating vanity with extended cabinetry, skylight, vaulted ceiling and contemporary fixtures.

Both bathrooms are pre-plumbed and wired to accommodate bidet installations, with hot and cold water lines and nearby electrical outlets. Thoughtfully engineered and exceptionally capable, this is a tech-forward home that supports efficiency and resiliency. Designed to support modern living and high-performance work-from-home needs, the energy system goes far beyond typical solar installations. A roof-mounted Enphase 15 kW solar array delivers substantial energy savings and is capable of producing n et-positive energy, meaning the only recurring APS expense is the monthly service fee. Even with two electric vehicles and extensive professional equipment running 24/7, the system consistently offsets the home's monthly electrical usage. The solar setup is further enhanced by Enphase 10 backup batteries, providing overnight power security in the event of an outage and offering true peace of mind (the system is able to form its own micro grids and produce power/ stay online even if aps is not online). With the inclusion of an Enphase IQ controller, the system is future-ready, allowing for potential expansion such as additional battery capacity or generator integration, if desired. Tech details: There is an inverter per panel, so there are less single points of failure. There are 40 iq7+ microinverters and 40 REC panels. There's also 9 IQ8 microinverters in the battery cabinets and the system has the System Controller 2. The Enphase 10 batteries are providing 30 kWh of power storage. Additional features include: smart home automation, including Wyze light switches, locks and thermostat, DVR remote-access security system with Wyze + Ring cameras, Tesla electric vehicle charger, newer interior/exterior paint, new dual windows ('21), plantation shutters, crown molding and recessed lighting, Convenient inside laundry room with newer stacked white LG washer/dryer (included in the sale). The rear yard is designed for adventure and enjoyment in every season. The sparkling pebble-finish pool takes center stage, featuring a bespoke climbing wall that adds a playful, unexpected element, while elongated entry steps invite relaxed lounging in the water. The pool equipment was upgraded in 2019. The thoughtfully composed landscape features a real grass lawn area and the privacy is enhanced by the block fencing. Expanses of pavers were installed in 2019 to extend from the poolside covered ramada to the edge of the lawn, creating a cohesive and intentional outdoor aesthetic. A discreet storage shed is tucked into the corner of the yard. Strategic lighting completes the experience, transforming the space from sunlit retreat to an inviting evening escape. The RV gate at the front of the home allows the side yard to accommodate toys, dog run or additional entertaining needs. Everyday conveniences and local favorites are all close at hand, including PV mall redevelopment, Whole Foods, Sprouts, Trader Joe's, OHSO, PV Pie, Target, Trevor's, EoS Fitness, In-N-Out Burger, Blanco Cocina + Cantina, Costco, the Mesquite Library Branch, Black Rock Coffee, Three Natives, and more, with The Sicilian Butcher and Venezia's Pizza also nearby.
