About This Home

As of May 2012

Great for your home or rental, either way. This house has 3 good-sized bedrooms and a large pool. The kitchen has *new* cabinets and tile backsplash. Great pool to keep cool in the summer. Easy-care yard - front only. Located less than 3 miles from ASU's main campus. The orange tree is considered the best in Tempe by many. House comes with refrigerator, washer and dryer, China cabinet, and dining room table and chairs. Converting to garage would be easy. This is not a short-sale, foreclosure, flip or other distressed property.
