1455 W HEATHER Avenue, Gilbert, AZ 85233

There are only 6 water skiing lakes in the entire Phoenix metro – 3 in Gilbert, 1 in San Tan Valley, and 2 in Buckeye. In the entire East Valley (Gilbert & San Tan), there is currently only ONE waterfront home available for sale, and it’s this one in Playa del Rey Estates.

What also makes Playa del Rey so special is that it’s the ONLY lake community here that truly allows a wide range of recreational activities. Most of the other lakes are primarily designed for tournament water skiing only. Here, residents can enjoy water skiing, jet skiing, boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, towable inflatables, boating up to 36 mph, and even catch-and-release fishing in the additional community lake. Beyond the lake lifestyle itself, the community is gated 24/7 and offers incredible amenities including a brand-new mini golf course with a fountain, clubhouse, basketball court, and floating dock. They also host community events year-round like Easter egg hunts, trick-or-treating, Christmas celebrations, and more.

As for the home itself, it’s completely turnkey and was extensively remodeled between 2019-2020. It features a gorgeous gourmet kitchen designed for entertaining, beautifully renovated spa-inspired bathrooms, and even a luxury Savaria elevator for easy multi-level living. The automated stackable Pella sliding doors create seamless indoor-outdoor living and bring in an incredible amount of natural light.

The layout is also extremely functional and thoughtfully designed. There are two en-suite bedrooms — one on each floor — plus three additional bedrooms, a separate den, game and family rooms, formal living and dining spaces, and even a laundry chute. Combined with the high ceilings, spacious bedrooms, wide hallways, and overall flow of the home, it offers a perfect balance of comfort, privacy, and entertaining space.
