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.
Supplements: 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!
