Drive around Buckeye long enough and you notice that nearly every neighborhood is under five years old. Sunset Point is not. It went up in 2004 off Baseline Road, and two decades in, the trees are tall, the landscaping has filled in, and it feels like a place people have lived for a while instead of a subdivision still selling lots.
This home sits on 6,095 square feet inside it. Three bedrooms, two baths, 1,274 square feet, single level, no steps anywhere inside, and a two-car garage.
What separates it from the rest of the subdivision is what previous ownership chose to spend money on. Engineered hand-scraped maple runs through the kitchen and living room, an unusual choice for a home this size, and a durable one. Crown molding was added along the ceiling line in both rooms. The kitchen carries semi-custom cabinetry and solid granite counters rather than the laminate and builder-grade boxes that were standard here originally. Both bathrooms have carrara basketweave tile underfoot. The bedrooms have been recarpeted. Entry is through a custom screened security door, which is more useful here than most people expect.
The mechanical side has been handled too. A Trane HVAC system went in during January 2021, and the exterior has recently been repainted.
The living space is open between the kitchen and the living room, which is what makes a floor plan this size work rather than feel tight. A covered patio extends off the living area, and the lot behind it is enclosed in block wall with a gated side yard. Nobody has landscaped it into a specific vision yet, which is either a project or an opportunity depending on how you look at it.
Sunset Point maintains its own park with a playground and shaded ramadas, along with greenbelt space through the neighborhood. Bales Elementary sits roughly half a mile away and covers both elementary and middle grades, with Buckeye Union High School serving the area beyond that.
The location inside Buckeye is the part worth understanding. Old Town Buckeye is about a mile and a half northeast, and the city is midway through a Monroe Avenue streetscape rebuild under its Downtown Specific Area Plan. Restaurants have moved in ahead of the finish line, among them Monroe's Kitchen, Viet Table, Barbon Asadero, The Heritage at Old Town, and Butcher and Farmer Market IGA. Groceries are closer than most people expect, with a Fry's Marketplace about two miles north on South Miller Road. Bigger box shopping is at Sundance Towne Center where I-10 meets Watson Road, anchored by Walmart Supercenter and Lowe's with PetSmart, Cracker Barrel, and Peter Piper Pizza in the same center.
For weekends, Earl Edgar Recreational Park is a mile and a half up Miller Road, Sundance Park on Lower Buckeye Road adds a fishing lake, splash pad, dog park, and sand volleyball about ten minutes out, and Skyline Regional Park on North Watson Road opens into 8,700 acres of White Tank Mountain terrain roughly fifteen minutes north. Commuting runs two ways: Miller Road straight north to I-10 in about five miles, or SR-85 north to the same interchange corridor toward Goodyear, Avondale, and Phoenix.
