An extended driveway offers ample RV/boat parking. Recent updates include a 2018 roof and both AC units replaced in 2020, plus gutters throughout.

Duskfire, located between South Mountain Park and Preserve and Tempe Town Lake, is a residential and desert-edge Tempe neighborhood with low-slung streetscapes and wide-open sky views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Mill Avenue and Tempe Town Lake, where patios, galleries, and small music rooms set a late-day rhythm. Community pillars include Tempe Center for the Arts, ASU Gammage, and Changing Hands Bookstore, each anchoring a distinct cultural lane. Architecture leans toward mid-century lines and contemporary infill, framed by palms and xeriscape. Daily life tracks the lake paths, canal corridors, and mountain silhouettes.
