About this home
Discover the perfect blend of location, flexibility, and modern updates in this refreshed Tempe home near Downtown Tempe, Arizona State University, and major transit including light rail, streetcar, Orbit bus, and Sky Harbor Airport. This spacious property offers multiple living areas with separate living and family rooms, plus a private rear master suite featuring an updated bathroom, new tiled shower, and walk-in closet. An adjoining flex room provides options for an office, gym, nursery, or bedroom. The updated kitchen includes white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a breakfast bar, making this home ideal for both comfortable living and strong rental or investment potential. Inside, you'll find thoughtful updates and versatile spaces throughout. Each secondary bedroom includes its own closet, and a nearby bonus room offers potential for a butler's pantry or workshop. Recent improvements include interior and exterior paint, newer roof (approx. 2 years), updated door hardware, and serviced A/C units (5-ton and 3-ton). Dual-pane windows enhance efficiency in the addition, while original front windows maintain mid-century character. Additional highlights include a large laundry room with washer and gas dryer hookups, an extended Arcadia door in the family room, carport parking, and accessible single-level living with a front entry ramp. The spacious lot features a newly added gate and fence on the east side yard, creating extra usable outdoor space.
