Welcome home to this charming mid-century red brick ranch located in the historic Hoffmantown neighborhood, known for its iconic ''hip-gabled'' homes designed by renowned architect Ralph Haver. Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence blends timeless 1950s character with modern convenience, featuring exposed brick accents, abundant natural light, and low-maintenance tile flooring throughout. The functional layout includes a well-equipped kitchen with dishwasher, range/oven, and refrigerator that opens to the living area, ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Situated on an expansive lot, the spacious backyard offers endless potential for outdoor living, gardening, or relaxing under the Arizona sky. Additional highlights include an attached 1-car garage, off-street and street parking, in-unit washer and dryer hookups, extra storage, and a fully fenced yard with room for pets. Ideally located near Christown Spectrum, popular dining, and the Phoenix Light Rail, offering convenient access to downtown. The property also benefits from the city's historic, grandfathered flood irrigation system--an uncommon and highly desirable feature. While use is optional, the current owners have consistently taken advantage of it. The HVAC system was purchased and installed in August 2021 and includes a transferable 10-year parts warranty for the new owner. As an added value, a prepaid cooling inspection for the upcoming summer has already been completed.

A basic purpose of these regulations is to foster the creation of living areas which can assist the establishment of stable, functional neighborhoods. An established pattern of living in this metropolitan area reflects a tradition of single-family occupied dwellings which also emphasize outdoor living. Many of these dwellings are thereby located on relatively large urban or suburban lots.; These regulations provide standards for dwellings built at low and moderate densities. While the predominant housing type is expected to be single-family dwelling, provisions are made for alternative housing types within the same density limits.
