About this home

Step into a century of character ! A Live -Work -Play opportunity in Midtown Phoenix and with proven income stream. Built in 1920, this rare International Modern-style residence is one of Phoenix's most compelling live-work-invest opportunities. Nestled in the historic Longview neighborhood (Not on the Historic Register- but historic just the same!)...adjacent to the storied Idylwild Historic District and the Historic Phoenix Country Club Golf Course. The property is currently operating as a successful short-term and corporate rental, consistently booked by convention-goers and business travelers drawn to Downtown Phoenix year-round. The main house offers 3-bedrooms and 2-bathrooms with a loft (loft is only room on 2nd level) and has been thoughtfully updated while honoring its historic roots. Soaring vaulted ceilings in the great room draw the eye to dramatic skylights that flood the space with natural light, while a striking spiral iron staircase ascends to an open loft - the kind of feature guests photograph and rave about in reviews. The upgraded kitchen leans fully into the industrial aesthetic with an oversized island and breakfast bar. Updated SS appliances, vent hood and modern tile design embellish the walls with open shelving to display your prized serve ware! down the hall, the primary suite features a spanish inspired tiled bathroom with dual vanity, custom tiled shower with glass enclosure and a custom closet organizer. Pay attention to the details- wood panel trim, fun lighting, ceiling fans and an electric wall fireplace to set the ambiance and warm the room! The casita is a game changer! The former 5-car garage was reimagined in 2023 into a polished 2-bedroom, 1-bath casita complete with a spacious living area, oversized kitchenette with island, and in-unit laundry- everything a corporate guest needs for an extended stay. Its private entrance and front patio make it completely independent from the main house. A generous adjacent storage room is already primed for conversion to a 1-car garage -- just add the door. You could live in the casita and rent the main house or rent the casita as side income- or maybe you have extended family, in laws quarters, student housing- the possibilities are endless! The backyard delivers the kind of wow factor that earns five-star reviews. A versatile bonus structure -- game room, she-shed, or private lounge -- features barn-door windows, a built-in bar, true indoor/ outdoor feel, dedicated A/C wall unit, and full electrical. Open it up for a festive indoor-outdoor flow or close it down for a private retreat. The covered patio ties it all together for seamless alfresco entertaining that guests will not forget. The outdoor pergola is complete with fan misting system and party lighting. Are you looking for that urban walkability? This property is walkable to public transit , restaurants and more!
