Built in 1979 by Suggs Homes, this single-story gem is Tempe through and through — solid, spacious, and sitting pretty in one of the city's most stable, no-HOA neighborhoods.
Inside? It's a total retro rewind — original wood cabinets and Formica counters that are actually in great shape. You can love the vintage vibe or go HGTV on it — your choice. Either way, this home's bones are gold.
Step outside and boom — sparkling pool, and a covered patio, ready for fall BBQs and lazy weekends. Add in a 2-car garage and over 2,100 sq ft of living space, and you've got a home that's got both personality and potential. A/C replaced 2024, all new paint summer 2025. Homes like this don't come up often — and when they do, they don't last.
