Set in one of Tempe's most convenient pockets with NO HOA, this home places you walking distance from ASU and close enough to Mill Avenue to actually enjoy it without the hassle of driving and parking. Coffee, restaurants, campus events, and nightlife are all right there when you want them, with easy access to Sky Harbor Airport, Scottsdale, and the rest of Tempe. The home includes upgrades too many to list (however a list of upgrades is available), starting with a new roof and fresh paint inside and out. Step inside and the space feels clean, bright, and ready to go. New ceiling fans and updated lighting add comfort throughout, while the kitchen has been refreshed with butcher block countertops and a tile backsplash that brings warmth and character. Brand new appliances are already in place, so there is nothing left to handle on day one. Both bathrooms have been remodeled with a clean, modern look that feels intentional and well finished. Outside, ample parking in the front and back while fresh landscaping and a new fence give the yard a more finished, usable feel whether it is a quiet night in or having people over. With major updates already done, additional design plans for a future ADU or primary suite with expanded laundry, and a location that makes everyday life easier and more enjoyable, this is a home that stands out for all the right reasons.
