5 Beds ⋅ 4 Baths ⋅ 7077887 MLS ⋅ 3,583 SqFt.

Some homes are measured in square feet. This one is better measured in moments. Morning coffee beneath the trees. Dinner with the entire back of the house open to the evening air. Long afternoons around the pool, followed by fires under the stars. Behind the gates of coveted Graystone, at the end of a tree-lined cul-de-sac, this nearly half-acre property feels less like a home in the city and more like a private retreat. Step inside and you'll immediately understand what makes it different. Soaring vaulted ceilings, dramatic wood beams and a floor-to-ceiling fireplace draw your eye toward the home's unforgettable centerpiece: nearly 30 feet of glass doors that stack completely away, blurring the boundary between indoors and out. The living room, dining space and kitchen open effortlessly to a backyard designed not simply to be admired, but to be lived in. And this is no ordinary backyard. Years of intentional landscaping have created a lush, remarkably private setting framed by mature ficus, bamboo, jacaranda, Hong Kong orchid and fruit-bearing citrus trees. Beyond the property lies a wide greenbelt with no neighbor directly behind, adding to the sense of privacy and space. Six distinct outdoor gathering areas surround the pool and private spa, including three covered spaces, a poolside pavilion with its own full bath, an outdoor shower, fire pit and solar pool heating to extend the swimming season. At the heart of the home, the kitchen was created for people who genuinely love to cook, entertain and gather. An oversized quartz island anchors the space alongside Frigidaire Professional appliances. The beauty goes far beyond what you can see. The home has undergone extensive updates to its major systems and finishes, including the roof, three HVAC systems, water heater, windows, kitchen, bathrooms, flooring and more. A main-level bedroom and full bath with a private exterior entrance offer flexibility for guests, multigenerational living or a private workspace. A three-car garage with EV charging set-up and RV gate complete the property. This is the kind of home that's increasingly difficult to recreate: mature trees, nearly half an acre, exceptional privacy, architectural character and a renovation already done for you, all tucked inside one of South Tempe's most desirable gated communities. Open the wall of glass, turn on the music, and let the house become the garden. This is Arizona living the way it was meant to be. Graystone offers a convenient Tempe location close to a variety of restaurants, shops, cafés, and everyday amenities, with easy access to Tempe Marketplace, Downtown Tempe, ASU, and major freeways. Residents also enjoy nearby outdoor recreation at Tempe Town Lake and convenient access to the greater Phoenix metro area.
