Description
In the heart of the east valley, this Tempe oasis stands out for its sprawling main house and separate guest house, nestled amongst an entertainer's dream backyard on nearly an acre of lush, irrigated land. These equestrian privileged estates infrequently come on the market, so don't pass up this gem that has been updated with modern and unique touches, while preserving the original charm of its pristine ranch-style character.
The main house has a split floor plan with a vast kitchen, including an oversized island and double sinks, with one faucet dedicated to filtered, sparkling, or still chilled water at the touch of a button. Appliances include a newer Thermador dishwasher, a Gaggenau induction cooktop and SKS refrigerator freezer with regular and cocktail ice ball maker. The kitchen is open to the large family room, with views of the pool and backyard, and is adjacent to the formal, sunken dining room. The cozy and inviting formal living room features the original stone wood-burning fireplace and raised rock planter as guests enter the home.
There are 2 primary suites, with one boasting a wet-shower room that includes a whirlpool tub, custom faucets and a TOTO Neorest bidet toilet. The additional primary has an enormous walk-in closet, renovated bathroom, and back patio access. There are two additional secondary bedrooms that share a remodeled bathroom which also exits to the backyard. There is a separate private office/den with built-in shelves, as well as a laundry room with newer LG front load washer and steam dryer, plus an additional small washer, that is perfect for delicates.
The detached guest house is a perfect retreat, with a wraparound verandah overlooking the expansive property that is perfect for your in-laws, guests, or a studio away from the family. The guest house features soaring ceilings, a full kitchen, bathroom, living room, washer and dryer, and 2 bedrooms, one which is currently used as a full gym, but could also be a workshop, as the backyard has vehicle access.
The front yard features a 45 year old olive tree at the center, surrounded by the recently renovated, easy to maintain, desert landscaping with decorative lighting, plus a peaceful front entry fountain. The 3 car garage is extremely oversized making it perfect for someone who likes to putt around with various hobbies, and includes chargers set up for 2 electric vehicles.
The backyard is the jewel of the estate, with a recently updated play pool, perfect for volleyball or relaxing on a summer day. Behind the guest house is an enclosed chicken run and coop for farm fresh eggs. There is also a stone fire pit for family and friends to surround while making s'mores, a rose garden, and a desert garden with a formal fountain that can be enjoyed from nearly every view on the property. The ramada between the two homes has been transformed into a custom outdoor kitchen, with stone countertops, undercounter refrigerator, EVO griddle, custom blue Hestan rotisserie grill with a separate double side burner. The kitchen sink and integrated cutting board on stone countertops are perfect to juice or cut up fruit from the wide variety of trees, including 2 types of oranges, lemon, grapefruit, pomegranate, peach, asian pear, persimmon, guava, apricot, plum, fig, pecan and almond.
There is a bridal path behind the home that stretches throughout the neighborhood and into the rest of the city block, which makes for beautiful walks to visit other neighbors and their many animals such as donkeys, sheep and goats to name a few. There is a lovely park at the end of the street with new playground equipment, and the local elementary and junior high that are a part of the highly rated Kyrene School District. Convenient access to US 60 and Loop 101 makes this home your perfect rural paradise in the midst of the Valley's urban jungle.
