It’s no surprise that the architecture of the sun-kissed Mediterranean coastal lands imports so seamlessly to the Phoenix real estate scene, considering the resemblance in climate and terrain.
Phoenix area Territorial-style homes offer a gorgeous blend of New World conveniences with Old World aesthetic pleasures: Low ceilings are traded for high ones in spacious entryways, kitchen/dining “great rooms,” and master suites. Tiny windows (a barrier to direct sun in pre-air-cooled Southern Italy) are enlarged for wide, horizon-sweeping views. Smooth stucco flawlessly emulates the look of thick plaster for sturdy, energy-efficient, yet elegant-looking construction. Marble and other stone on exterior and interior surfaces blend the textures of the outdoors and the indoors. Phoenix real estate of this kind includes rich, earthy browns, yellows, and reds lend a breathtaking symmetry with native plants, flowers, and our enormous deep-blue sky. Details such as a turquoise-blue front door, terra-cotta roof, rustic painted tiles, wrought-iron gates, and decorative hardware attract the eye as to the composition of a masterpiece. Central courtyards help cool the house and create a natural focal point in the home.
Pueblo, Greek Revival, Spanish, and frontier folk influences mingle gracefully in this organic home style that is native to the Southwest and a favorite among Phoenix real estate buyers. Characteristics may include:
Territorial Colors: You’ll find these kinds of Phoenix homes for sale come in soft white, desert sand yellow, and easy sky blue to give a Territorial house just the right feel.
When it comes to Phoenix real estate the Santa Fe is still a popular favorite. This style home began as practical living quarters for the Southwest’s original inhabitants, the Anasazi, over 3,000 years ago. The Spanish and Mexican residents who came later embraced the basic construction-clay brick covered with mud-but added their own influences. The modern Santa Fe style house, made of durable yet adobe-like stuccoed concrete, may offer any combination of the classic or the new, such as:
The overriding characteristic of the Santa Fe house is a rustic warmth and enchantment invoking ancient tradition and the mysteries of the earth, a powerful force that each year draws thousands of visitors to the city of Santa Fe.
Typical features Phoenix real estate buyers might expect include:
Santa Fe Colors: Deeply saturated, organic colors best adorn a Santa Fe-style house: rusty, blood-orange red; eye-popping turquoise blue; cheerful and dazzling gold-yellow.
