Welcome to Desert Rose, a historic Spanish-style hacienda in Tempe where timeless Southwest architecture meets spacious resort-style living.
Known locally as “The Pink House,” this distinctive 5-bedroom, 6-bath estate blends authentic historic craftsmanship with modern comfort, creating a stay that feels both memorable and welcoming.
From the hand-carved beams reclaimed from a historic Tucson church to the clay roof tiles salvaged from a celebrated Phoenix estate, the home carries a deep sense of Arizona heritage while offering the space and amenities today’s travelers expect.
Step through the grand entry and the character of the home immediately unfolds.
A dramatic iron staircase rises beneath soaring ceilings accented with original wood beams, while hand-painted Spanish tiles add warmth and texture throughout the space.
The layout invites guests to explore—from the dedicated game room with billiards and a large smart TV, to cozy lounge spaces designed for conversation and relaxation.
Just beyond, a striking Papago Mountain mural by local artist Melody Smith anchors one of the home’s most photogenic spaces, paired with an oversized antique mirror that captures the warm desert light.
Nearby, a comfortable seating area with a smart TV and classic board games offers the perfect place to unwind after a day exploring the city.
For quieter moments, a tucked-away library nook with a hanging chair creates a peaceful corner to relax with a book.
At the heart of the home sits the distinctive pink gourmet kitchen, equal parts charming and functional.
Outfitted with modern appliances and anchored by a rustic brick fireplace, the space feels welcoming and social, complete with a fully stocked coffee and tea bar for slow mornings before the day begins.
A formal dining table for twelve provides the perfect gathering place for shared meals and celebrations.
The home’s five bedrooms are designed to provide comfort and privacy for every guest.
The main-level primary suite offers direct patio access, a walk-in closet, and a cozy reading nook.
Upstairs, a spacious king suite features a private sauna and access to the covered balcony where sunset views stretch across the neighborhood.
A queen suite with two beds and balcony access adds flexibility for groups, while two additional bedrooms—including a fun bunk room—provide comfortable accommodations for families or larger groups.
Step outside and the grounds unfold into a peaceful garden retreat.
Mature citrus trees, fragrant herbs, and manicured lawns surround the property, creating a lush and inviting setting rarely found this close to the city.
At the center of it all is the gated heated diving pool, framed by a blooming rose garden that gives the home its name.
Outdoor living is just as thoughtfully designed as the interiors.
The Desert Rose Cantina creates a charming setting for al fresco dining beneath string lights beside a tiered Spanish fountain, while the oversized wood-burning fireplace invites everyone to gather together once the sun sets.
A separate sports patio offers a 70-inch outdoor TV, ping pong table, and pub seating—perfect for catching the game or enjoying drinks with friends.
Tucked within a quiet and established Tempe neighborhood, Desert Rose offers both privacy and exceptional convenience.
Guests are just minutes from Arizona State University, Tempe Marketplace, and Sky Harbor Airport, with the dining, golf, and nightlife of Old Town Scottsdale only a short drive away.
With its rich architectural history, spacious grounds, and welcoming atmosphere, Desert Rose offers a stay unlike anything else in the area—an authentic desert hacienda designed for gathering, relaxing, and making lasting memories.
