Gilbert, AZ 85297 2296 E CANARY Drive

Tucked inside the gated Stratford community, this two-story home hits a balance that's hard to find: updated and move-in ready without feeling like a flip. The farmhouse exterior makes a strong first impression -- mature landscaping, a clean facade, and a three-car garage with epoxy floors and insulation that actually gets used. The main level is open and livable, with tile flooring, high ceilings, and plenty of natural light. The kitchen is the kind that works -- white cabinetry, granite countertops, double ovens, a large island, walk-in pantry, and a tile backsplash that ties it together without being overdone. Upstairs, the primary suite feels intentional: a spacious walk-in closet and an en suite with dual vanities, a rainfall shower, and a soaking tub. The extended loft that... ... comes with the farmhouse layout adds square footage that's actually flexible -- home office, playroom, whatever you need it to be. The owners put thought into the details. Whole-home water softener and filtration, surround sound pre-wiring, roughed-in security, cellulose insulation, radiant heat barrier, and high-SEER AC units -- the kind of upgrades that don't show up in photos but matter every month. Out back, a covered travertine patio and artificial turf keep things low maintenance without sacrificing the space. This one is genuinely ready to go.
