About this home
Tucked into a highly desirable South Tempe neighborhood, this thoughtfully cared-for home offers the rare combination of space, comfort, and a true sense of sanctuary—right in the heart of the city.
From the moment you arrive, it's clear this isn't a cookie-cutter home. Inside, the layout feels open yet cozy, anchored by a generous central living space and a large, remodeled kitchen designed for everyday living and easy entertaining. A striking double-sided fireplace adds warmth and ambiance on cool evenings, while multiple sliding glass doors blur the line between indoor and outdoor living.
The backyard is a standout feature—private, lush, and intentionally designed. Mature landscaping, room for kids and pets, and space to gather make it ideal for entertaining or quiet evenings at home. Bird lovers will appreciate regular visits from hummingbirds, woodpeckers, owls, and hawks, creating a peaceful retreat that feels worlds away from city life. A sparkling pool with a Baja step completes the space, along with an outdoor utility sink and raised garden beds already producing tomatoes, peas, artichokes, and jalapeños.
Practical upgrades abound: dual HVAC systems and dual water heaters (strategically located for near-instant hot water), dual-pane windows, and commercial-grade sliding glass doors that are nearly soundproof when closed. The three bedrooms feature engineered wood flooring, and both bathrooms have been tastefully remodeled. Storage is plentiful throughout the home.
The garage is a dream for hobbyists or creatives, featuring an epoxy floor, a 240V subpanel, and an adjacent utility room originally designed as a darkroomcomplete with extra outlets, plumbing for a sink, and a dedicated exhaust fan. Additional thoughtful updates include interior paint, paver walkways, roof maintenance, and updated electrical in the bedroom ceilings.
Location truly sets this home apart. Enjoy easy access to Sky Harbor Airport (approximately 15 minutes to East Economy Parking), nearby retail and services, and a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood where neighbors genuinely know and look out for one another. The SRP Western Canal offers a scenic, traffic-free route for walking, running, or biking, with a direct connection to South Mountain and the Pima Canyon Trailhead just a few miles away.
Lovingly maintained for nearly 23 years, this home has been a place to grow, gather, and create lasting memoriesand it shows. A rare opportunity to own a home with soul, substance, and an exceptional South Tempe lifestyle.
