About This Home

As of March 2025

Nestled in the heart of the prestigious Encanto/Palmcroft Historic District, this stunning 1937 home is a masterful blend of timeless charm and contemporary luxury. With a 2018 complete rebuild that honors its historic roots, this 5,200-square-foot residence sits on over 1/3 acre of beautifully landscaped grounds. Offering 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths in the main house, plus an amazing full guest house/entertaining pavilion, this is truly one of the finest homes ever to hit the market in Encanto/Palmcroft. Enter through the classic foyer to the heart of the home- the stunning open kitchen, featuring a massive center island, built-in banquette, and top-of-the-line appliances. Stacking glass doors open the main living areas to a private patio, seamlessly blending the indoor and outdoor living. The butler's pantry with a built-in beverage refrigerator and separate walk-in pantry both offer additional storage and prep space, making this a perfect home for intimate family time or for hosting large gatherings.

The primary suite is truly a private retreat, with its own fireplace, a beautiful bath, sitting room/sun room with French doors to the private pool and yard, and a charming gallery space.

A separate dedicated exercise studio offers a private space for workouts, yoga, or spin. The home has an attached 2 car garage plus another gated one-car covered parking area, a workshop and gardening area.

Situated on one of the palm-lined circles in one of Phoenix's most desirable neighborhoods, this home offers a fantastic lifestyle with exceptional design, history and charm
