About This Home

For the very first time since its creation in 1966, this exceptional home in the heart of North Central Phoenix is being offered to the market. Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac, it stands as a rare find in a neighborhood known for its charm, tradition, and central location—just moments from Madison Schools, Brophy, and Xavier. Nearby trails, including the iconic Murphy Bridle Path, add to the appeal. Set on a generous 0.49-acre lot, this property features a rare 1,200-square-foot, air-conditioned detached garage—something nearly impossible to find. Thoughtfully updated over time, the home also offers the added benefit of fully owned solar, providing both energy efficiency and peace of mind. It's a true combination of space, comfort, and location. Explore more details in the gallery tour.
