8222 E VIA DE LA ESCUELA -- Spacious single-level Santa Fe townhome with vaulted ceilings, Camelback Mountain views, and a private backyard that backs green space. Set on one of the larger lots in the community, this home offers natural light, outdoor privacy, and the walkable McCormick Ranch lifestyle buyers love. Inside, clerestory windows and skylights brighten the open layout, leading to a peaceful backyard retreat with turf, hardscape, a built-in fire pit, and a hand-textured patio with softly distressed brick detailing--perfect for morning coffee, sunset gatherings, or relaxed entertaining under the desert sky. The all-new 2025 kitchen is the centerpiece of the home, designed with a large quartz island, custom soft-close cabinetry, and Frigidaire stainless steel appliances. Peace-of-mind improvements include two new Trane A/C units (2025, 10/12-year warranties), a new water heater (2024), and fresh smooth Santa Fe texture throughout. Ideal for full-time living or a lock-and-leave seasonal retreat, the location is exceptional--steps to the greenbelt, the 11-mile lakeside bike/walk path, McCormick Ranch Golf Club, dining, coffee, and one of two heated community pools. Chaparral Park and its popular dog park are just minutes away. Turnkey, low-maintenance, and ready to enjoy--only 10 minutes to Old Town Scottsdale and Salt River Fields. A rare blend of single-level ease, outdoor living, and timeless McCormick Ranch walkability.
