Property InformationDescription
When you step into this lake view home, it just feels like home.
As you enter, you will see a vaulted ceiling living room with a brick fireplace, and another wood burning fireplace in the cozy family room with French doors that lead to the covered travertine patio. The backyard is lush and relaxing.
Upstairs, the four bedrooms plus the loft, offer plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. There are beautiful views out of all windows! The primary bedroom and another bedroom have access to the extended balcony with a living grape vine - imagine having a morning coffee or a glass of wine at sunset with the views of the West Lake and the palm trees!
Other features of the home include the remodeled swimming (diving) pool ), dual pane windows (2021), two new A/Cs, 2.5 car garage, remodeled bedrooms (2024), new flooring upstairs and the formal living and dining areas (2024)
This home is located in the Lakes - a wonderful community and a true Tempe gem! The lush greenery among the palm trees and the pines will make you think you are in California. Here you will find a heated lap pool with scenic lake views, spa, tennis & pickleball courts, indoor racquetball, fitness center, playground, clubhouse - all included in your HOA. The home is steps away from the Lake and the park with a rose garden. You can get a kayak or rent a boat and explore the large lake the neighborhood was built upon. The local waterfront restaurants are a walking distance from the house and the regular neighborhood concerts and community events bring a sense of connection and charm that's hard to find anywhere else.
This home is special and I'm sure you will love it!
