A rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a true piece of Phoenix! Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this 1920s Tudor Revival is ready for its next chapter. Full of timeless architectural details - from its quintessential arched front door and coved ceilings to original oak floors and wood casement windows - this home exudes the character and craftsmanship of a bygone era. The front living room features a welcoming fireplace with brick accents and built-in bookshelves framing the front door, while the formal dining room charms with whimsical corner cabinets. The spacious bedroom and sitting area is full of windows and the bath retains its period appeal with classic mini-hex tile flooring. Don't overlook the incredible potential of the unfinished ATTIC & BASEMENT for.. expansion or creative use. Maybe open up the attic, exposing an original brick wall, to achieve a majestic cathedral ceiling. The oversized backyard with mature landscaping and alley access presents ample space and financial opportunity to add an ADU or casita. With its central Phoenix location being just minutes to downtown, Sky Harbor Intl Airport, and major highways, this property is as convenient as it is captivating. The home was most recently used as a live/work space for an attorney, offering excellent visibility and signage potential for a professional office. Apply for lower property taxes with its historic classification, have peace of mind with a newer A/C (2022), recent service and duct cleaning (Sept. 2025), and a newer water heater. Step into the Story - This Tudor treasure is ready to shine once again!
