About This Home

As of August 2026

Duskfire. The address. The lot. And a head start most buyers never get. New kitchen. New master bath. New floors. New roof. Resurfaced pool. Step-downs eliminated. The costly, disruptive work is already done -- what remains is yours to finish exactly how you want.

Sprawling wide lot -- nearly 0.40 acres on a cul-de-sac and one of the largest to come available in South Tempe in over a year. Room to expand the home, extend the living space, or build an ADU. Sellers have plans drawn.

No HOA. Resurfaced Pool + New Limestone Patio. 300 Sq Ft Shop + Two Large Sheds. RV Parking. Kyrene School District. This home has been thoughtfully updated from the moment you arrive. A custom built-in foyer with a sitting nook sets the tone -- designed specifically for this home, with a leveled entrance that eliminates the step-down common in homes of this era. No carpet anywhere. No steps throughout.

THE KITCHEN
Fully renovated and designed to impress. Two-tone cabinetry, quartz countertops, double wall ovens, stainless appliances, a striking hexagonal tile backsplash, and skylights that flood the space with natural light. This is the kitchen buyers are looking for.

THE LAYOUT
Four bedrooms, three full baths, and a dedicated office with doors. The private en-suite guest bedroom has its own full bath -- ideal for multigenerational living, extended family, or out-of-town guests who never want to leave. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the main living area. The bathrooms are functional and clean -- and for the buyer with vision, there is clear room to finish them to your own taste and standard.

THE OPPORTUNITY
The sellers had architectural plans drawn for a home addition and detached structure -- and this lot makes it possible. Nearly 0.40 acres in a neighborhood where land simply does not come available. Expand the footprint, build an ADU, add a casita. The bones are here. The lot is here. The price reflects the work that remains and leaves room for you to make it exactly what you want.

THE OUTDOOR LIVING
A 264 sq ft covered patio with commercial misters extends your outdoor season well into the Arizona summer. New limestone patio sections and a renovated desert landscape create an outdoor space that's as intentional as the interior. The sparkling resurfaced pool and one of the largest lots in Duskfire give you the backyard Arizona living was meant for.

THE EXTRAS
This is where 54 W Carver truly separates itself. A 300 sq ft air-conditioned shop, two oversized sheds, an RV gate with dedicated RV parking, and plenty of additional parking -- the kind of utility that is nearly impossible to find in 85284.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Duskfire. Cul-de-sac street. Kyrene School District. No HOA. Wide lots, mature landscaping, and the established character that defines South Tempe at its best.
