One-of-a-kind artist's home in downtown Tempe. A true desert oasis. This unique home is located in Hudson Manor, one of the few neighborhoods that are still flood-irrigated, so there are many mature fruit and shade trees and lots of greenery. The neighborhood itself is a total of 9 square blocks (including a park) that are tucked-off Apache and situated south of the light rail and between Rural and McClintock. This home is across the street from a beautiful new park with splash pads, a basketball court, sand volleyball, a playground and a skate park and plenty of grass and trees and shade. There is a good mix of people here, from young to old and from diverse cultures and backgrounds, including lots of families with children. Hudson Manor is home to many artists and musicians, and many people affiliated with Arizona State University, which is within walking distance. We have a ton of amazing, award-winning restaurants within walking distance, and free local area shuttles to Mill Ave. (downtown tempe), the arts centers, or the library. We are 2 blocks from the lightrail, which travels across the valley linking Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa. We are a 10 minute cab ride or 20 minute light rail ride from the airport. The home itself is a mid-century modern design, block wall construction with insulated siding. The house is very well insulated! The air conditioner was replaced with a refurbished NEW unit (heat pump) in 2009, and works great both winter and summer. New copper plumbing throughout. Original beautiful bathtub and shower tiles. Recently remodeled kitchen with new cabinets, new tile floor, and original one-of-a-kind backsplash made by Beth Tom with John Randall Nelson (local artists) printed tiles. Updated electrical 2004. Saltillo tile floors and original concrete floors. Shaded parking in front and RV parking in back through alley access. The house has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, and a nice open kitchen and great room. It also has a room for laundry hookups and the water heater. One of the best features of this home is the HUGE covered and misted back porch. The yards are what really stand out about this place and make it a true oasis in the desert. Front yard is xeriscaped and back yard is irrigated, with many mature fruit and shade trees. A huge, mature, delicious pink grapefruit tree, mature lemon tree, two mature orange trees, maturing fig, pomegranate, and pecan trees.
