2136 E Colgate Drive
Tempe, Arizona 85283
Fully Renovated · 3 Bed · 2 Bath · 1,848 Sq Ft · Private Pool · No HOA
Renovated top to bottom, with a pool out back and no HOA in sight.
Colgate Drive is one of those South Tempe streets that has quietly been doing its job since the seventies — mature trees, wide setbacks, neighbors who wave. What's behind this particular front door is brand new.
The kitchen is the one people photograph. A quartz waterfall island with a fluted base anchors the room, wrapped in white shaker cabinetry and brushed gold hardware. There's a matte black shiplap range hood, floating wood shelves against a black accent wall, a pot filler over the cooktop, stainless appliances throughout, and a built-in beverage fridge for the people who host. It opens straight into the living space, so nobody's stuck in a galley while everyone else is talking.
That living room got the same treatment — wide-plank flooring running through, a linear fireplace set into a full-height marble slab with a fluted black surround, recessed lighting overhead and a picture window pulling in the front-yard light.
The baths were taken down to the studs and rebuilt with the same hand: a double quartz vanity over matte black cabinetry, brushed gold fixtures, and a backlit LED mirror that makes the whole room feel twice its size.
Out back is where this one separates itself. A covered patio with a cedar plank ceiling and a modern fan runs the width of the house, opening onto large-format tile, wide cool decking, and a private pool. There's real grass on one side, river rock on the other, and a full block wall around all of it.
Three bedrooms, two full baths, 1,848 square feet, a 7,209 square foot north/south lot, and a two-car attached garage. And no HOA — park the boat, paint the door, build the shade structure. Nobody to ask.

Rui Barros · Licensed Arizona REALTOR® since 2012South Tempe is the part of the Valley you don't have to leave.
85283 is the pocket that puts ASU, Sky Harbor, Chandler, and the 101 and 60 all within comfortable reach — without putting you on top of any of them. Established streets, real shade, and a walk to the elementary school that's genuinely a walk.
Minutes from Kiwanis Park and its lake loop, Arizona Mills, and the Tempe Marketplace run up Rural. Roughly fifteen minutes to Sky Harbor, twenty to Old Town Scottsdale, ten to downtown Chandler.
Come see it in person.

I've spent more than a decade helping people buy and sell across Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Phoenix, and the East Valley — and the part I care about most has never been the transaction. It's knowing which streets hold their value, which back yards actually get used, and which renovations were done right. If this one is on your list, let's walk it together.
