Here is the kind of home that makes people say “Oooh” when they see it from the curb, and “Ahh” when they reach the inside. The stunning look of red barrel tiles atop the white walls of this 1930s Spanish Revival remind you of how aesthetically pleasing the old world styles can be. The hardwood floors, coved ceilings, arched doorways and wall niches welcome the soul of anyone with even the mildest appreciation for art, architecture, and living in a home that is more than just a place to hang your hat. Add Saltillo tile, French doors, and an arched gas fireplace and you’ve got comfort and luxury for body and mind. And a couple of bonuses in historic home terms: a fully updated kitchen (cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances), pebble tech pool (fenced and surrounded by landscaping), and plenty of space (2,200 including the guest house with its own kitchen and bathroom). If you’re the least bit curious, treat yourself to a drive through the enchanting Encanto neighborhood and give it a look—it’s a great place to visit, and you’ll definitely want to live there!
As of 4/10/08, the home is being offered at $650,000. To see all the details about this house and to schedule a viewing click Phoenix Real Estate or call me at 602-620-6267.

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.

In the words of Linda Mason Hunter, the author of Southwest Style, one of my favorite books about architecture and design, homes built under the aegis of the Industrial Aesthetic look “strangely at home amid the soft colors and warm glow of the American Southwest.” One peek at this Will Bruder treasure in glass, concrete block, and galvanized steel set strikingly into a Paradise Valley mountainside and you can’t help but agree. A masterful symphony of straights and curves, stimulating hues and calming neutrals, this is 4,950 square feet of heart-stopping beauty from skylights to basement. A few of the many charming particulars include a gas fireplace in the living room, Venetian plaster, an open-roofed atrium with a full-size tree, library with built-in bookcases, and screened patios for ultimate enjoyment of the dazzling desert-mountain and city-lights views. Built in 1998 on over an acre of untouched desert landscape, with guest quarters and a three-car garage, this home is more than a luxurious retreat: it’s a live-in work of art.
As of 2/7/2008, the home is being offered at $3,297,000. Photos and more info about this house can be seen at Paradise Valley Real Estate. To set up an appointment to view the home call me on 602-620-6267.
