This perfectly located home, in Encanto Palmcroft, is a beautiful blend of modern updates and historic charm, is recognized in the National Historic Register and is the only home in Phoenix to be renovated on the popular show This Old House. From the front gate, you wander a path through a desert landscape to enter the home and be welcomed into the living room by the warmth of the original fireplace, featuring glass tiles and a fully functioning gas log. The living room—as well as the rest of the home—is exceptionally quiet owing to its 12-inch brick walls, as well as the genuine adode fence installed by This Old House. Next, you can go to a family room that features custom windows also designed by the crew of This Old House, or you may wander into the dining room, or the fully the remodeled kitchen. Behind the kitchen there is a spacious utility room and then onward to a multipurpose room that has built in bookcases and access to the covered patio and yard. At the back there is a two-car garage, a carport, a bonus workspace and a detached storage shed. Returning to the interior there are two bedrooms on the opposite side of the living room that share a vintage checkered bathroom design. Your tour of the downstairs is completed by stepping downstairs to a small basement perfect for extra storage. Upstairs, the master bedroom, also designed by This Old House, features stenciled window seats with storage, a bamboo-like ceiling and a private balcony with access to the backyard. Come see this unique home and BUY IT now--before someone else does!

Single-Family Residence District
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.
