Tempe a true southwestern gem

In the true southwestern style of stucco and tile, the Tempe (D6801) has 2,411 square feet of living area with an optional basement in the same amount available. There is a revival dormer with a quatrefoil window to accent the rooflines.

Entry into the Tempe brings a long living room and the dining room into full view. The dining area has a coffered tall ceiling, making it stand out without the use of walls. The living room also has 12-foot ceilings and French doors that open onto a covered courtyard. At the end of the covered courtyard is a fireplace. This could be enclosed at some point in the future if more room were needed.

The right side of the home has the three-car side entry garage in the front, with the kitchen and utility in the rear. The utility and a half bath are between the garage and the kitchen.

For more intimate family gatherings, the family room and the kitchen are fairly isolated from the balance of the home. There is a fireplace on the right side of the family room, but easily enjoyed by anyone in the kitchen or nook area. The kitchen has a unique shape with the main counter running down one wall, and the eating bar, sink, and dishwasher situated in an island. The nook sets in an angular set of windows with two skylights overhead. A door to the backyard opens adjacent to the nook.

The entire left side of the Tempe is dedicated to bedrooms. The master suite is in the rear through French doors with a huge coffered vault in the main suite area. The master bath has an oversized shower, an enormous spa tub, with "his and her" sinks and door leading to private covered terrace containing a spa. The walk-in closet is a room to get lost in with its spacious size.

The stairs to the basement are just inside the entry to the left. However, if a basement were not needed, the area would be converted into a corner linen closet and would elongate the third bedroom, making it larger.
