2119 E Vaughn St, Tempe, AZ 85283

Tucked into a highly desirable South Tempe neighborhood, this thoughtfully cared-for home offers the rare combination of space, comfort, and a true sense of sanctuary-right in the heart of the city.nFrom the moment you arrive, it's clear this isn't a cookie-cutter home. Inside, the layout feels open yet cozy, anchored by a generous central living space and a large, remodeled kitchen designed for everyday living and easy entertaining. A striking double-sided fireplace adds warmth and ambiance on cool evenings, while multiple sliding glass doors blur the line between indoor and outdoor living.nThe backyard is a standout feature-private, lush, and intentionally designed. Mature landscaping, room for kids and pets, and space to gather make it ideal for entertaining or quiet evenings at home. Bird lovers will appreciate regular visits from hummingbirds, woodpeckers, owls, and hawks, creating a peaceful retreat that feels worlds away from city life. A sparkling pool with a Baja step completes the space, along with an outdoor utility sink and raised garden beds already producing tomatoes, peas, artichokes, and jalapeos.nPractical upgrades abound: dual HVAC systems and dual water heaters (strategically located for near-instant hot water), dual-pane windows, and commercial-grade sliding glass doors that are nearly soundproof when closed. The three bedrooms feature engineered wood flooring, and both bathrooms have been tastefully remodeled. Storage is plentiful throughout the home.nThe
