1342 W Lynwood St., Phoenix, AZ 85007

1342 West Lynwood is the epitome of F.Q. Story’s well-known charm and character, with a brick arched entry to the private, shaded front courtyard that’s perfect for hosting family or friends, or to even just enjoy yourself on one of those perfectly warm, breezy Phoenix days. Deck it out with outdoor seating, a fire pit, or whatever else you can dream of. Step inside, and to your immediate left is a large family living room, complete with a cozy fireplace and mantel. With 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, formal dining room, French doors and beautifully situated in the popular F.Q. Story Historic, this checks a lot of boxes! Just off the living room is another spacious room with secondary access to the front courtyard. It has a closet that's already outfitted with organizational racks and shelves. The options for this room are limitless. Perhaps you'll envision a library complete with reading nook, a child's play room, a third bedroom, or a designated guest room. Don's choice would be an office with French-paned doors that opened to the front courtyard, and a wall of bookcases. Awesome choice! Let's walk back through the living room and into the formal dining room, which sits at the north side of the house. This room is flooded with natural light thanks to the double French doors that open to the grassy backyard (which, by the way, features a mature palm tree and a space for your own herb garden or flower bed). The dining room is the perfect size to make your home a hosting destination among friends and family, and even has room for a personal mini bar and china hutch. Directly adjacent to this room is the kitchen, which plays on a sophisticated, modern version of the black and white retro theme. The appliances are updated, the floors are a neutral tile, the counter tops are black, and the cupboards and drawers – all new – are pristine white. This kitchen is roomy and equipped with plenty of storage space, so start thumbing through all those family recipes and get excited to cook great food in this space. The back corner also provides room for a sweet dining nook, and there's access to the side yard for painless recycling and trash disposal. We just described the north and west side of the home. Let's go back to the front door and talk about the east side. Directly in front of the entry is a big guest bathroom/laundry area, complete with standing shower and vanity. There's a second bathroom, as well – also spacious, but this time with a full tub and large granite sink. The second bathroom is located in the hallway between the two primary bedrooms, which are placed at either end of the hall. Bedroom one, all hardwood, is the brightest room in the house with four windows on three sides of the room. It has a modest walk in closet, too (which is hard to come by in some of our older homes). Bedroom two is twice the size of the first and feels inviting and warm with plush carpet. It's big enough to allow you to create the feeling of two rooms in one, if you like. It also has plenty of storage space with a sliding double closet, a second closet, and cabinets located above. This historic F.Q. Story home has played an integral part in many memories over the years, and she's ready for you to make more within her walls, as well. Come check it out in person and get to know your new neighbors at the F.Q. Story Historic Home Tour and Festival on December 3 and 4.
