Today's premier downtown neighborhood, Roosevelt Historic District has everything today's most discriminating Buyer wants: GREAT walkability, picturesque streets, stately homes on oversized lots, and oversized porches to take it all in.
And oh, those porches! Walking up to it from the tree lined street, the porch is framed by oversized, double hung windows that flood the home with light. You can feel the warmth of the wood floors before you even open the front door, and when you do? You're immediately gobsmacked: Historic homes had high ceilings and woodwork you just do not see in homes today--and then some! With an open floor plan that connects the living area to the dining room with a gorgeous enclosed sun room, too, you can live, work and entertain in style. Totally restored PLUS an updated kitchen featuring soapstone countertops, stainless steel appliances and period-style cabinetry throughout. The original built-in hutch offers tons of style and storage, too, and the stainless steel gas range and the beautiful exposed brick make for Instagram-worthy shots for today's dine in days!
Speaking of today: We're all spending way more time at home, and this home has great flex space to work from home, learn on line, and even work out! The main house features a large Master with an attached den (perfect for a home office, home gym, secondary living room, nursery--you name it!). Double closets and an attached bathroom are rare, but it's here, too, and there is also private access to the beautiful back yard with an additional side door to the front porch!
Down the hall, the ancillary bedroom features gorgeous windows, and the hall bath features penny tile, a period tub and tons of room.
The dining room and enclosed sun room make for sunny entertaining spaces, and the large back yard with beautiful brick patio make dining outdoors a joy. Raised bed gardens are just waiting for new bulbs, while the grassy area beyond makes for a fun space to play. A new roof was put on last year, and the wiring, plumbing and floors have all been updated as well.
And if you want even MORE room? This Craftsman Bungalow is actually considered a "story and a half" home, and many neighbors have taken over the attic space and created additional bedrooms and a bath upstairs. (confused? See the DOCUMENTS tab for current floorplan as it is today--and also what it COULD be if you needed more!).
Bottom line? You really have to see it in person. And while you're here, don't forget to check out the detached guest house: Featuring a full kitchen, living room, oversized bedroom and a full bath, it's a wonderful addition to this great home.
There's also a full garage with plenty of storage, and with light rail just down the block, you can hop on and take it to Uptown, ASU Downtown (or ASU Tempe!), the Arts and Entertainment District and more. Yoga at the Heard on Saturday's resumes next week, while the Phoenix Art Museum is now back open. First Friday's, local restaurants and coffee shops, and breweries are all within walking distance, and the only thing missing? Is you!
