''You were only waiting for this moment to arise.'' This historic c.1951 bond brick Alfred Anderson home sings with character and invites you to be a part of its melody. Beyond the killer curb appeal with desert-adapted landscape, sits this adorable jewel box in the heart of the Westwood Estates historic district. Unusually rich in character, this home was remodeled to impeccable standards with a cohesive contemporary design inside and out. Being listed on the National Register of Historic Places, makes it eligible for access to grants, assistance with restoration and tax incentives. Recently approved tax reclassification will save owner-occupants 50% on the property taxes in 2025! The light-filled, open floorplan prioritizes comfort and leans into its mid-century roots. Easy-care polished concrete floors flow throughout, with exposed interior brick accent walls and smooth-coat drywall. The kitchen opens to the living space and is a dream to prep and enjoy meals in. Contemporary design elements include flat panel cabinetry, laminate counters with waterfall edge, apron sink and terrazzo tile wall accents. Kitchen essentials include a stainless steel appliance package, breakfast bar island and a walk-in pantry. A permitted 350 square foot primary suite addition pairs beautifully with the original floorplan and incorporates a private bathroom and a walk-in closet. The spacious primary bath offers space to relax and refresh in the oversized shower with ceiling-mounted rain head and new frameless glass enclosure. The custom steel and wood vanity features a concrete counter with dual sinks. The hall bathroom highlights a restored 1950s cast iron tub with classic subway tile surround, wall-mounted floating concrete sink and concrete floors. The 2nd bedroom opens to the Arizona room with a sliding glass door. Prepare to fall in love with the dream backyard that has been 10+ years in the making! The iconic landscape design incorporates multiple entertaining areas and many desert-friendly materials to create an inimitable indoor/outdoor connection. The custom steel pergola with shade cover and retro globe pendants offers an epic space to entertain year-round with scored, exposed aggregate concrete slab underfoot. The kitchen opens to a redwood deck surrounded by custom planter beds. Ficus hedges ensure privacy, while the lush lawn provides an area for recreation. Custom redwood and steel rolling RV gate and privacy screens/fence toppers bring modern appeal to the yard. Cast concrete fountain and planters were made custom for this home and will convey. Don't miss the screened-in Arizona room (not included in the square footage). The exterior spaces are perfect from 'Here comes the Sun' to 'Mr. Moonlight', with a huge custom, backlit Beatles painting adorning the rear of the home. Night lighting includes low-voltage landscape lights and bistro lights strung overhead. Additional home upgrades include: copper plumbing, dual pane windows, ceiling fans, built-in shelving and Ring doorbell. Also, the driveway is set up to receive the structure for an attached carport. Not only is the neighborhood designated historic (read: cool architecture worth preserving!), its hip location is close to all the best destinations in central and downtown Phoenix. Whether you are hitting a Suns game downtown, looking to check out new music + galleries of Roosevelt Row, or hungry for the best local cuisine, this house is an easy 10 minutes from it all. Easy access to Sprouts, Starbucks, Phoenix College, GCU and the I-17 freeway. This treasured home is truly one-of-a-kind. Schedule a Private Showing
