Jerome, AZ 86331

ONE OF THE OLDEST HOMES STILL STANDING IN JEROME, AND SHE'S BRAND NEW! From the ground up rebuild, everything (and I mean everything) is new, but looks old except for the wood floors and trim and 2 or 3 ripply wavy glass front windows- they are old. Rebuild was exquisitely done by our favorite local commercial contractor using, wherever possible, the old original boards and trim because they don't make boards like that anymore. When the Sellers bought this home and told me what they planned to do to fix her up I cautioned them that they either had to go full throttle or don't do it at all. They went full throttle. She's gorgeous, stable, way solid, and now a showpiece. Sale includes parcel #401-08-036A. (See ''More,'' for Seller's description of what they've done and what you get.) The downstairs is designed to be completely wheelchair friendly, with a front patio and living room and kitchen and Butler's pantry to die for. Downstairs bath is also wheelchair friendly, and you can roll right into the beautiful shower. Upstairs is another living room, the parlor, covered deck with views forever, the main bedroom with walk-in closet, second bedroom and hall bath and an office which could become a 3rd bedroom. Walk out from the parlor to the view deck above the 2-car garage. Wait! Did she say "2-CAR GARAGE? IN JEROME?" Yes, my loves, I did. You have a state-of-the-art 2-car garage with power and internet and everything. Out back you have a storage shed and the great-grandmother of all apricot trees that you share with 1 awesome neighbor.
Here's what the Seller has done, in his own words:
"Historic Jerome!
Want to live in a Historic Jerome house, but you don't want to spend your days and nights fixing everything? This is a brand new 1900 house that has had everything rebuilt, replaced or
restored. New massive foundation, new walls, new drywall, new electrical system, new plumbing, new bathrooms, new three zone heating system, new hardie board (concrete) siding and trim, new metal roof, etc, etc, etc.
New, but it has the elegance and style of what the house was in 1900.
Antique light fixtures and hardware throughout the house, new bathrooms with 1900's tile and 200 year old Douglas fir wood trim and floors throughout the house.
It has also been recertified as historic with Arizona's historic organization (SHPO) and enjoys the advantage of very low taxes because of this certification. Keep the wavy glass front windows - that's how you keep the certification.
