About This Home

Discover a rare opportunity to own a private estate in the heart of North Central Phoenix's sought-after ''7's'' corridor, complete with a detached guest house and set on an expansive half-acre lot. Tucked behind a gated entrance, this property offers both seclusion and convenience in one of the Valley's most iconic, tree-lined neighborhoods.
Inside, the home showcases striking architectural details including soaring ceilings with wood beams, classic plantation shutters, and a serene indoor atrium with a calming water feature. The thoughtfully designed layout offers spacious bedrooms, multiple living areas, and a versatile bonus space near the primary suite--ideal for a home office, gym, or lounge. Three fireplaces add warmth and character throughout. The kitchen is built for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring high-end Viking and Bosch appliances, abundant storage, a walk-in pantry, wine refrigeration, and a large island perfect for gathering.
Outdoors, the backyard feels like a resort retreat with a covered patio, built-in grilling station, outdoor shower, putting green, and a beautifully updated PebbleTec saltwater pool.
Perfectly positioned just steps from Murphy's Bridle Path and directly across from the Uptown Farmers Market, this home delivers the ultimate blend of peaceful living and walkable city lifestyle. With over $250K in improvements and a full guest house, properties like this rarely come available in such a prime location.
