Back on the market due to changes in buyer's circumstances. Built in 1936 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this exquisitely updated home includes all modern amenities while melding seamlessly with its classic past.
Hardwood and French limestone floors, high ceilings with beams, crown moulding and original wainscoting are just some of the timeless details you will love. A few of the custom features added to enhance the very unique feel of this home include beautiful wood built-ins, period lighting and a dramatic carved stone and marble gas fireplace surround. The true cooks kitchen is large and features custom cabinetry, open shelving, cultured stone countertops and backsplashes as well as a built-in banquette emphasizing its family-friendly nature. Just outside the kitchen door is an additional dining area well lit
evenings and covered with a one-of-a-kind pergola. The main level flows wonderfully for entertaining and at its core is a large great room affording tranquil views of the rock-rimmed diving pool and lush gardens through floor to ceiling windows. Also on the entry level are the formal dining room, butler's pantry, and study/bedroom 3 with guest bath which can be private and has particularly lovely woodwork adding charm and warmth. There is also a bonus room perfect for a Peloton or Nordic-Trac device. Upstairs off the generous 2nd floor foyer are two luxurious bedroom suites each with full bath. The walled lot and grounds are copious and professionally designed by Chad Robert offering pool, koi pond, verdant mature plantings, raised beds for vegetable growing and elegant brick-edged travertine lounging areas in back and at the welcoming courtyard in front as well as at the main entrance. This home is located in the prestigious historic neighborhood of Encanto-Palmcroft. You will be amazed at its proximity to everything that matters - parks, schools, restaurants, shopping, the light rail. Enjoy your day out and about and then return to downtown resort living in the desert! Ten minutes from Sky Harbor and quite close to Dignity Healthcare, Barrows and Good Samaritan Hospital.
