Property description
Short sale - price reduced and subject to lender approval. Four bedroom two bath home on an irrigated corner lot located in University Estates, an established neighborhood of tree-lined streets walking distance or a short bike ride to ASU and downtown Tempe. Private fenced back yard, double carport, and covered courtyard-style back patio. Home has been updated with vinyl dual pane windows and a permitted master suite (2006) addition adjoining bedroom 3 with a separate outside entrance and separate pump-thermostat. Main part of the home features great room concept with fireplace, dining area, open and bright kitchen. Saltillo tile throughout. Kitchen has not been updated. Price reflects need for general updating. What a great location for anyone who wants to be conveniently close to downtown Tempe with all its shopping, dining, arts and entertainments and then get to escape the hustle to come home to the quiet tree-lined established neighborhood of University Estates. Just 6.6 miles (15 minutes) to Sky Harbor Airport, close to the 202, US60 and I10 Freeways, downtown Tempe as well as being really convenient to Arizona State University. Plus this home comes with a double carport and room for 2 more cars in the driveway, a great feature this close to ASU where parking is at a premium. Highlights of improvements: New hot water heater July 2012. Permitted Master Suite Addition 2006. Full bath in hallway has been renovated with new sinks, cabinets, toilet - all but the tub by the current owners after they purchased the home in 2006. Dual Windows throughout, 200 amp electrical distribution panel, smoke detectors. Previous owners installed new copper plumbing in 2003. Owner will leave 2 washers and dryers with the property - the stack-able set in the new master suite and another washer and dryer for the main house located in carport storage room and the yard maintenance equipment with acceptable offer at or near previous list price of $299,900 or they can be purchased outside of escrow as personal property. Personal property if included will convey "as is" at no monetary value. This home is walking distance to ASU and parking on the street by the house requires a permit. Please heed the parking permit signs and rules to avoid getting a parking ticket.
