The Willo Historic District Home Tour is this Sunday, February 8th, but you can tour one-of-a-kind homes whenever you want
The 21st Willo Home Tour & Street Fair will take place on Sunday, February 8, 2009. This is your chance to tour a dozen of the most unique homes to be found anywhere in the Valley of the Sun. Phoenix is well into its extended Spring season, and a walking tour of fascinating homes is a great way to spend your Sunday.
But I get to see interesting homes every day, and, because I do, so do you. Here’s an example from The Willo Historic District:
This is 525 West Granada Road, which is currently offered for sale by Tom Bryant of Realty Executives.
The original 1930 structure is a Tudor Revival. It’s built on a foundation, which is why there are steps leading up to the front door. The historic authenticity of the home has been retained and cherished, as you can see in this stylish and yet almost-rustic kitchen:
But the current owners have upgraded the home in ways that will make sense to modern sensibilities. The original bathroom fixtures have been retained and restored:
But a vast new Master Suite has been added at the back of the home, with era-appropriate fixtures:
This is a sweet home — and you should click this link to see for yourself. Very spacious inside, and there’s a livable guest house and a back yard made for entertaining. The Phoenix Historic Districts are suburban retreats right in the heart of everything, but this home is Historic Phoenix at its most urbane: You’re a couple of blocks north of McDowell Road and a short hop to the new Light Rail line on Central Avenue. You can walk to the Heard Museum, to the Art Museum or to the Burton Barr Public Library.
Walkable Phoenix? That must be a typo, right? It’s not. Give us a ring at 602-740-7531 and we’ll show you the Phoenix that was here before everyone else got here. It’ll be just like the home tour, only just for you — and we’ll be touring homes you can make your own.
