Beautiful Spanish Territorial Home For Sale In Phoenix’s Willo Historic District
Here is a perfect example of what the Great Southwest has to offer the architectural canon: a 1936 Spanish Territorial in the heart of the Willo Historic District. The gable-less, pitched roof is all Territorial; its barrel tiles Spanish Mission. The Saltillo tiles throughout the home, as well as the brightly colored tiles around the fireplace, are the result of another, more distantly Spanish influence, via nearby Mexico. The covered porch is reminiscent of the long porches or portales that were important to both Spanish and Territorial styles, as are the look of adobe to the exterior walls and the abundance of French doors and paned windows.
However, no hauling water from the pump, or wood for the stove, as our pioneer forebears were forced to do. The kitchen and 2.75 baths have been updated with appliances, fixtures, and decorative embellishments that bring the home directly into the current century. Not to mention—speaking of improvements on the mature legacy of this home—the spaciousness of well over 2,000 square feet; the luxuriousness of a pool, outdoor fireplace, and built-in barbecue; and an HVAC system that’s still in its infancy. In fact, the whole place is in impeccable condition—as if it’s only been lived in on Sundays, every other decade, and only by people who loved it immensely, as you will too.
As of 5/22/08, the home is being offered at $659,000. See photos and details about this house. You can also call me on 602-620-6267.
