1419 N THUNDERBIRD Avenue SHORT SALE OPPORTUNITY. This property is currently being professionally negotiated as a short sale. Buyers and agents should REVIEW THE SHORT SALE INFORMATION DOCUMENT posted under the MLS Documents tab for important information regarding the process, timelines and offer requirements. For buyers willing to bring their vision, this single-level Gilbert home offers an opportunity to update and personalize a property with several meaningful improvements already completed. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout features an open great room, eat-in kitchen, generous storage and an exceptionally spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet. One of the home's biggest advantages is outside. Situated on the largest lot in the community, the oversized backyard provides significantly more usable space than typically found in the neighborhood, with plenty of room to create an outdoor entertaining area, play space, garden or other backyard retreat. Several higher-cost items and interior updates have already been addressed, including the AC replaced in 2021, water heater and primary closet improvements in 2020, kitchen countertops and bathroom vanities in 2022, and garage door opener in 2022. The remaining opportunity is largely cosmetic, making this an appealing option for a buyer who wants to build equity and make the home their own without starting from scratch. Located in Gilbert's Carriage Lane community with convenient access to shopping, dining, parks and the surrounding East Valley, plus Gilbert Unified schools.
