About this property
Tempe LAKE Front Home: Pvt Htd POOL, Walk to Dock, 2 Kayaks & Gear, Fishing, Bird Watching
~ LOVELY LAKESIDE HOME ~ Longing for warm weather and a water view? Start packing because TEMPE DRIFTWOOD LAKE VIEW in the exciting East Valley has both and you even have a choice in water views. Sit on the back patio and enjoy the spectacular view of pristine Tempe Lake or lounge by the private pool with option to heat at the front of home.
~ CLASSIC COMFORT & LAKE VIEWS ~ Well-appointed, newly remodeled home is lovely both inside and out. The great room has plush leather furniture, a large smart TV, a gas fireplace and lake view. Sliding doors in the great room allow you access to the covered patio in back which fronts the smaller, quieter part of Tempe Lake. A smart TV has been added to this patio for those who choose to combine program viewing with bird watching. Wifi is complimentary.
The kitchen is fully stocked so preparing meals will be convenient and stress-free. Both Keurig and drip coffee makers are ready to brew your favorite gourmet coffee. Stunning views from kitchen windows offer a pleasant distraction for everyone working in the kitchen. The dining area easily seats 6 and also boasts tempting outdoor views. Highchairs are available to rent.
~ SWEET DREAMS in TEMPE ~ The floor plan splits the bedrooms so there is privacy for all. The primary bedroom features a new king bed and has new linens, large closets, a TV with a DVR and doors that access the patio and lake. An adjacent primary bath offers dual vanity sinks and an enclosed tub-shower combo. A hair dryer and soap are supplied.
Bedroom 2 now has a king bed and TV. Bedroom 3 is adjacent to the great room and features a queen-size Murphy bed. Both Bedrooms 2 and 3 have views of the pool and share a full bath with a tub-shower combo. Pack 'N Plays are available to rent.
The dedicated laundry room is outfitted with a washer and dryer and laundry detergent. The two-car garage has room for 2 vehicles as well as your golf clubs.
~ OUTDOOR PARADISE ~ Life gets even better when you step out front to your own private oasis with pool with optional heat and stone deck for lounging poolside. For a more natural setting, the covered patio on the side and back of the home provides enchanting lakefront areas for relaxing and dining. Fish from the backyard and grill your catch of the day on the gas barbecue. Charming porch swing will gently rock you into a blissful state while you review the day's satisfying events and dream of adventures yet to come. Bird watching will both entertain and soothe you.
Two kayaks and gear are supplied for our guests. The larger aspect of Tempe Lake for non-gas boats is a short and easy walk even if you are carrying kayaks.The dock for launching kayaks is just 3 houses away. Binoculars and camera are essential items: lake areas are ideal habitat for local and migrating birds and other wildlife.
Anglers can catch a variety of fish, including rainbow trout, channel catfish, largemouth bass, sunfish and white amur. The lake offers shore and water access, and you can also fish from a boat with a permit. A valid fishing license is required for 10 years of age and up.
~ ADVENTURES AWAIT YOU ~ All of this can be hard to leave but you will not want to miss the many exciting adventures and activities that are just minutes from the neighborhood. Tempe Town Lake, Riverview and Sloan Parks, Scottsdale, Gilbert, Usery Mountain Regional Park and Salt River are popular destinations. Fine dining, shopping, golf, Chicago Cubs spring training, hiking, biking, horseback riding and paddle boarding are just a few of the leisure activities to choose from.
Other nearby treasures include Saguaro National Park, Tonto National Forest, Gilbert Riparian Preserve, Boyce Thompson Arboretum and the Superstition Mountains. Just think, while your friends are shoveling snow in grey and blustery conditions you will be swimming, boating, playing golf, hiking, biking and more, embraced by blue skies and warm sunshine.
This dream come true home with so many extras, so many possibilities, is the perfect escape for couples or families who desire comfortable living, resort amenities and an ideal location. Ask about our early check-in or late check-out which may be options.

The location was perfect for everything we had to do from soccer tournaments to seeing Phoenix’s and the surrounding area. The house is clean, relaxing and great views of the lake. Wish it had a gas pool heater to heat the pool better, but we made it work. The master bed is super high off the ground and hard to get in and out of, and I’m 6ft. Overall great place and would stay there again!
