This 1926 Spanish Colonial Revival in Oakland Historic District just turned 100 with an architectural redesign, rebuild, plus a full internal and external facelift. With super strong bones, this home has been comprehensively updated with dual pane windows throughout, wiring, plumbing, HVAC, roof, interior doors, exterior doors, and high-end finishes everywhere. Every detail has been thoughtfully addressed from top to bottom, inside and out. An old-school, inviting covered front porch creates a welcoming first impression, with artificial turf and stunning desert landscaping framing the front yard. An automated electronic RV driveway gate provides private gated off-street parking with room for a small RV. Upon entry, the home is cheerful and colorful with open 9' ceilings. Inside, tasteful custom paint colors are paired with wood flooring in the main living areas, elegant stone flooring, recessed lighting throughout, high-end light fixtures, period-appropriate 7" baseboards, crown molding, and upscale tile work on walls and floors. The fireplace is wrapped in custom brickwork and tile with a thick, wood mantel. The kitchen is elegant and spectacular! The standout turquoise retro Big Chill appliances include the gas oven/range, refrigerator, and dishwasher. There is also a generous amount of custom cabinetry, soffits, marble countertops, LUX tiled walls, and a sizable pantry. The eat-in space off the kitchen can double as a formal dining room. The custom primary suite with a coffered ceiling has a 15' x 5' walk-in closet and a luxurious, impressive 15' x 9' bathroom with dual sinks. The second bedroom also has a walk-in closet, with Jack & Jill bath access to the kitchen/dining area. The private retreat-style backyard offers an intimate 16' x 10' screened pergola porch with a wood deck, great for both relaxing and entertaining. It also includes a sparkling pool, custom outdoor shower with hot water, artificial turf, fragrant garden plants, an abundance of colorful flowers, Madagascar palms, gardening areas, and more radiant desert landscaping. The main house is 1,170 sf, with a detached 240 sf casita/guest quarters plus a detached 184 sf workshop. The casita is ideal for possible rental income, guests, an artist space, yoga studio, or separate office. The workshop includes workbenches, cabinets, and shelving. This is a fantastic Downtown Phoenix location near art galleries, theaters, restaurants, boutique shops, The Phoenix Theatre Company, Arizona Financial Theatre, Orpheum Theatre, The Van Buren, and all the downtown core has to offer. This home sits within walking distance of First Friday Art Walk in Roosevelt Row, which connects directly to Grand Ave and the local arts and festival scene. This property has been impeccably maintained inside and out and is not to be missed.
