About This Home

As of January 2020

Driving up to this 1936 Spanish Colonial Revival at 1502 W Culver St. in the coveted FQ Story Historic District, the ELWIN B. HORNE HOUSE, will quickly captivate you! MOTIVATED SELLERS! The AMAZING curb appeal w/custom landscaping leads you into the arched entry w/pergola covering the private, front courtyard of elegance & serenity. Custom metal & stonework by renowned artist, John Pearce, are peppered t/o; The rear gate, chimney cap & MUCH more. Enter this vintage home through the original, STUNNING, wood front door where coved ceilings, wood-burning fireplace & built-ins EVERYWHERE stand out. The heated SALTWATER pebble-tec pool & spa, POSH landscaping & Koi pond give this backyard a resort-style feel. The 2-car detached garage is a scarce commodity. You'll fall in love w/this home! The cozy living room flows directly into the stunning, large formal dining room through coved archways which are common throughout this property's interior and exterior. The floorplan is very functional.

Harmoniously, to the right and left of the fireplace are 2 stunning, custom stained-glass window coverings valued at more than $4,000. The original Art Deco Medallions within the stained-glass came from an old LA building around 15 years ago. Then, a stained-glass artist hand-made the coverings.

The eat-in kitchen boasts a 1936 collector's Roper gas stove which is said to come from the famed Turney family. Period style tile kitchen countertops & built-in's will also grab your attention.

The original mail slot, original milk delivery slot, original built-in phone nook, custom tiles and original built-in above the fireplace are all just flat out cool.

The Saltillo tile in perfect condition dominates the flooring, and upscale, hip carpeting is in the bedrooms.

Furthermore, period appropriate light fixtures, doorknobs & all cabinet handles have been added by the current owners who kept the period intact.

The ambient-ridden backyard boasts John Henry Pearce's custom works & are just a few extraordinary touches that stand out with flare.

The plumbing is all copper and the electric has been substantially updated. A brand new air-conditioning unit was installed in 2016 and the home has been extremely well maintained!

This home is terrific for entertaining inside and out.

This historic Phoenix home at 1502 W Culver Street has been on the FQ Story home tour twice. It was also chosen for the Phoenix Landscaping Tour & received raving reviews! Major pride of ownership here!

You'll feel like you're living back in time, yet with the ability to walk, bike or Light Rail it to ALL that Downtown Phoenix has to offer. This is a MUST SEE home!
