Built in 1960, this property is a classic example of a well-maintained but aged home. While the primary kitchen has been refreshed with stainless steel appliances, new countertops, and painted cabinetry, other areas of the home—specifically the second kitchen and office—feature dated wood paneling and older cabinetry. The home appears move-in ready and functional, but the mix of partial updates and original mid-century features fits the 'fair' criteria for a property over 20 years old that requires further modernization to meet current standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 13930, living area = 2086.
The property offers rare, unobstructed views of the Papago Park zoo buttes and desert landscape, while maintaining close proximity to ASU, Old Town Scottsdale, and major transit hubs.
Situated on a nearly 14,000 sqft lot with dual RV gates, this property provides significant outdoor space and storage capacity that is highly uncommon for the area.
