A Rare Architectural Find In The Roosevelt Historic District Of Phoenix
The rich character of this charming historic home for sale in the Roosevelt historic district of Phoenix is loud and clear before you even step onto the property—its bold profile of straight and curved lines, elegantly earthy brick façade, and beautifully contrasting colors all hint at the peaceful, tasteful spaces within. It’s a rare find in Arizona: a Cotswold Cottage (a.k.a. English Cottage or Tudor Cottage), identified by the steeply pitched, asymmetrical/sloping roof; arched doorway to an enclosed, front-step porch; and brick construction with prominent chimney. Though it echoes classic styles of centuries past, it was remodeled in this one to provide efficient, city-mouse conveniences in a lovely country-mouse setting. These include a gourmet kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, beautiful plumbing fixtures in the kitchen and bathrooms, and an addition that brings the main house to 1880 square feet while matching the original wood floors. The angular adobe-style fireplace, wide moldings around windows and doors, and original built-in cabinetry solidify the old-world look and feel of this wonderful 1925 home. Overlooking the pool, a separate guest house adds 400 square feet and has a full bathroom and wood floors of its own. And the landscaping? Lush and green, with flowers lining a curved pathway, as befitting its country cottage style.
As of 3/30/2008, the home is being offered at $630,000. Photos and more info about this house can be seen at Phoenix Real Estate.
