3345 E UNIVERSITY Drive unit: 72, Mesa, AZ 85213

Welcome to this fully remodeled, truly turn-key home in the highly desirable Las Alegres 55+ community in Mesa. Renovated from top to bottom in 2023, this property offers the rare combination of modern design, updated major systems, and one of the more spacious floorplans in the community.

While other active homes are smaller and require updating, this residence delivers both size and peace of mind with all major improvements already completed. Step inside to an open, light-filled layout featuring wood-look plank tile flooring throughout, fresh interior paint, updated lighting, and clean, cohesive finishes.

Anchoring the living space is a striking brick fireplace - originally wood-burning and now thoughtfully upgraded with a modern electric insert. This enhancement preserves the architectural character of the original fireplace while offering effortless, low-maintenance ambiance.

The insert can be enjoyed with or without heat, allowing for year-round atmosphere at the touch of a button. Large sliding glass doors bring in natural light and lead to a private patio, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen was completely rebuilt with white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, updated fixtures, and generous prep space.

Both bathrooms have been thoughtfully redesigned with contemporary vanities, upgraded plumbing fixtures, sleek mirrors, and timeless finishes. Major improvements completed in 2023 include a new roof, updated HVAC system, new flooring throughout, fully remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, fresh paint, and upgraded finishes eliminating the costly surprises buyers often encounter in similar properties.

The two-car garage features an epoxy-coated floor for a clean, polished look, and a water softener system adds everyday convenience. The private backyard retreat offers a covered patio with pergola ideal for relaxing or entertaining while enjoying Arizona evenings.

Located in Las Alegres, residents enjoy a heated community pool, spa, clubhouse, walking paths, and HOA coverage that includes water, sewer, blanket insurance, exterior maintenance, and common area upkeep making this an excellent full-time residence or lock-and-leave opportunity. For buyers comparing smaller homes in the mid-$200s that require updates, this property presents a compelling opportunity to own one of the larger, fully renovated homes in the community with the big-ticket items already completed.
