Property is moderate renovation needed.
While the property boasts excellent infrastructure updates—including a 5-year-old HVAC, 10-year-old roof, and recently replaced plumbing and sewer lines—the overall interior remains dated. The primary bathroom is a modern highlight (remodeled 8 months ago), but the rest of the home features popcorn ceilings, older carpeting, and a kitchen that lacks a full modern renovation. Additionally, the exterior requires landscaping work as the lawn is virtually enhanced in photos.
The property features major recent improvements including replaced sewer lines, updated under-home plumbing, a 5-year-old HVAC system, and a 10-year-old roof, significantly reducing immediate maintenance concerns.
Situated in the heart of Tempe within the Hughes Acres subdivision, the home offers excellent proximity to highly-rated schools like Hudson Elementary and central city amenities.
The primary bathroom underwent a full remodel only eight months ago, providing a contemporary and high-value upgrade to the home's private living space.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1875, other record living area = 1346.
The exterior landscaping requires immediate attention and investment, as the listing notes the grass is virtually enhanced and currently needs seeding and maintenance.
Despite key system updates, the 1963 construction may still require cosmetic modernization in the kitchen and secondary living areas to fully align with modern aesthetic preferences.
This classic mid-century home in the heart of Tempe offers spacious living with multiple living areas, a large pool, and a detached 2 car garage. The property has seen several important updates, including sewer lines replaced from the house to the alley approximately 3 years ago and plumbing under the home replaced about 2 years ago. The primary bathroom was fully remodeled roughly 8 months ago, and the HVAC system was replaced about 5 years ago. The roof was replaced approximately 10 years ago. With its solid updates, generous layout, and prime Tempe location, this home offers a fantastic opportunity to enjoy classic character with key modern improvements. **Grass is virtually enhanced, and needs seeding etc**
