Penthouse Living in Downtown Tempe! Welcome to this stunning 3rd-floor penthouse condominium at The Vale, one of downtown Tempe's most iconic residential communities designed by renowned architect Will Bruder. Offering 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 2,257 square feet, this modern residence blends architectural drama with everyday comfort. The expansive great room immediately impresses with its soaring 22-foot vaulted ceilings and a north-facing wall of windows showcasing breathtaking views of Camelback Mountain and Tempe. Upstairs, additional south-facing windows capture scenic vistas of Diablo Mountain and South Tempe, filling the home with natural light throughout the day. The open-concept kitchen is designed for both function and style, featuring quartz countertops, modern cabinetry, a breakfast bar, pantry storage, and stainless steel appliances, including a side-by-side counter-depth refrigerator. Porcelain tile flows through the kitchen, laundry, and bathrooms, while neutral carpeting adds warmth to the living areas and bedrooms. All 3 bedrooms include walk-in closets, with the primary suite offering a spa-like retreat complete with a walk-in shower, soaking tub, and dual sinks. A spacious loft provides flexible space ideal for a home office, media room, or creative studio, enhanced by adjustable cable lighting. This home has been thoughtfully updated with a full remodel in 2020 and fresh interior paint in 2025, along with a new HVAC system (2023). Additional features include double-pane windows, a fire sprinkler system, an alarm system with motion and door sensors, pendant lighting, wall sconces, and ceiling fans with lights throughout. The community itself has seen significant recent improvements, including exterior painting, new landscaping, pool and hot tub resurfacing, and updated entry gate hardware (2024-2025). Residents enjoy a heated pool and spa, fitness center, gated access, and pet-friendly green space. Parking is a breeze with a spacious 2-car detached garage plus underground parking, offering ample storage. Perfectly located just one mile from ASU, with the Tempe Orbit shuttle stop right outside the gate, this highly walkable and bike-friendly neighborhood places you minutes from restaurants, shopping, Tempe Lake Park, the Center for the Arts, and Sky Harbor International Airport. This is penthouse living at its finest: modern, architectural, and perfectly positioned in the heart of it all.
