Located in north Tempe bordering Old Town Scottsdale, this updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a flexible floor plan, stylish finishes, and a backyard made for Arizona living. Two separate living spaces provide plenty of room to spread out, with a welcoming front living room and a spacious family room off the kitchen that opens directly to the backyard and pool.
At the heart of the home, the updated kitchen features white shaker cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, designer tile backsplash, and an open connection to the family room--perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Wood-look tile flows through the main living areas, while the bedrooms offer soft new carpeting and generous storage.
The primary suite features an updated en-suite bath with a beautifully tiled walk-in shower, and the secondary bathroom has been thoughtfully remodeled as well.
Out back, enjoy your own private retreat with a sparkling pool, covered patio, artificial turf, and plenty of space to gather, unwind, or soak up the Arizona sunshine.
A covered carport and RV gate add extra functionality, while the north Tempe location puts you minutes from ASU, Papago Park, Tempe Marketplace, Old Town Scottsdale, shopping, dining, recreation, and convenient freeway access. Updated, inviting, and ideally located--this Tempe home is ready for its next chapter.
