About This Home

As of June 2016

“Benvenuto a casa” welcome to one of the few true jewels of the prestigious Central Corridor. This beautiful Italian Villa/ Spanish Colonial Style home built in 1931 has so much to offer age, sophistication, charm of homes often found in the more vintage areas of downtown central phoenix, while resting in the comfort and luxury of the North Central Corridor. Come with me for a moment and walk down The Bridal Path of Central Ave. only steps from your door, and remember with me again a time of horse drawn carriages, tree lined streets, and homes with beautiful hidden gardens flower lined with blossomed scents and subtle flying humming birds dancing in cool shadowed breezes. Crack the solid antique door and step inside among the Original wood throughout the hous Vaulted ceiling and original pained glass windows open your senses, filling your eyes with light far exceeding expectations of a home of that period. Fully remodeled kitchen yet blended within the vintage strokes of a perfect old world charm one could almost smell the bread baking. Four bedrooms, four baths, with a huge shower in a master one could get lost in. Not to mention a huge walk-in master wardrobe larger than most's bedrooms, all solid wood captivating more than most ladies would like to admit wanting. Fire place, private basement wine cellar, true adobe construction allowing for most absolute quiet evenings and cool summers days, but in these lush gardens a cool evening sit is not hard to find. Private pool, two car extra deep garage and a guest house, why this home even has a butlers quarters!
How can one describe all the features of a true gem, except to invite "come and see!"
