1261 E RIVIERA Drive

Property Description

Step into a reimagined 1965 classic treasure at 1261 E Riviera Dr, where vintage charm meets 2025 sophistication in a flawless upscale renovation. This single-story sanctuary boasts a clever split floor plan with a true master suite--ideal for families, multi-gen living, investors, or savvy ASU student house-hackers. Whisper ''wow'' at every turn: Gleaming luxury flooring flows underfoot, while all-new appliances--including a chef's gas range and RO lines to the sink and fridge--spark joy in the gourmet kitchen. Custom cabinets glow with accent lighting, framing granite islands perfect for midnight feasts or morning brews. Fresh AC hums quietly, dual-pane windows and doors seal in serenity, and outside, redesigned front-and-back landscaping thrives via auto-irrigation, creating a low-maintenance desert oasis. Gearheads rejoice: The attached 2-car garage shines with epoxy flooring and an EV charger station. Minutes from US 60 and 101, this move-in-ready marvel isn't just a home; it's a smart investment with high-demand location allure in Tempe's buzzing market. Don't let this rare gem slip away!
