About This Home

As of June 2026

This stunning single-level home in the heart of Tempe offers the ideal blend of comfort, convenience, and charm! Located in an iconic Suggs neighborhood with NO HOA, this property places you within walking distance to Trader Joe's, top dining, parks, and everything that makes South Tempe so desirable. Step inside to a warm, inviting layout featuring 5 full bedrooms--a rare find in this area. The spacious living areas flow effortlessly, highlighted by a cozy real wood-burning fireplace that adds character and warmth to the home. Large windows fill the space with natural light, creating an open and welcoming atmosphere. Outside, you'll find a private front courtyard perfect for morning coffee and complete with a private herb garden! The split floor plan was very well designed. The resort-like backyard is incredibly private, framed by a beautiful row of mature shade trees & palm trees that create a peaceful paradise. Enjoy summer days in the redone diving pool and relax under the expansive covered patio, perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. With three French doors leading directly to the backyard, indoor-outdoor living has never been easier or more inviting! The kitchen includes all black appliances, custom wood cabinets, granite counters, a breakfast bar, and this space opens up to the great room with stunning exposed wood beams and a dining room skylight. Some of the upgrades include; a new roof in 2020, fresh paint inside, newer custom showers, brand new luxury vinyl plank flooring in the home office, power washed exterior and much more. And if that isn't enough, this home is within walking distance to The Lakes, Scudder park, Target, Dutch Bros and The Majestic movie theatre. The garage also has a level 2 EV charger and service door to the outside. If you are ready to challenge the status quo and are looking for something special, this home is for you!
