Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from December 27, 2023
This gorgeous red-brick home in the Del Norte Historic District is unlike any other. On a generously sized lot with formal hedges, this home is full of charm, character, and unique features.
Stepping through the storybook arched doorway, you'll be greeted by a soaring Moroccan-influenced ceiling accented by the near floor-to-ceiling picture window that allows abundant light to filter in the room. Custom shutters provide privacy and make for dreamy nights while keeping the Arizona sun out during the day. While it may be 100 degrees out, you'll still want to curl up in front of the beautiful wood-burning fireplace.
Perfectly sized for today's lifestyle, this home is sure to host many formal and informal get-togethers. The dining room features a coved gold ceiling that truly shimmers. French doors that open to the front porch are framed by translucent stained glass side windows. The cozy breakfast nook with windows on three sides is perfect for more casual and romantic meals. And then there's the updated kitchen! Light from the oversized arched windows (one on each end!) bounces off the stainless-steel appliances and the quartz countertops, while the red brick around the windows gives the kitchen a timeless feel. And other special touches, like the hallway phone nook with pull-out seat and the cedar front closet, shouldn't be missed!
Each of the 3 bedrooms in the main home are generously sized, and the Owners Suite features an extra-large, walk-in closet and private bath with double vanity and walk-in shower. There is also a large back porch for entertaining accessible by French doors, and a secluded and tranquil backyard surrounded by mature landscaping.
The detached guest house with kitchenette has ample living and closet space and will make you look for Alice and the White Rabbit to join you in the garden. There is also a detached, oversized 3-car garage with an attic, and a separate RV pad with RV gate behind it. Want to explore a favorite hobby? The garage provides lighting, electrical outlets, and significant space to create a workshop or Man/Woman Cave, while the main house features a finished basement with a large walk-in closet.
This historic home is a treasure trove of surprises and delights, making it a truly special find.
