Get ready to swoon over this 1940s urban bungalow, nestled just steps away from Encanto Park in the historic Del Norte neighborhood. Originally built for acclaimed pianist Henrietta Lundquist in 1941 and completely renovated in 2009, this 1,300 square ft. house is equal parts historic charm and contemporary revival. Home buyers will be sold from the moment they step foot on the 8,128 ft. property, which features a front courtyard, sand-blasted brick exterior, backyard patio with fireplace perfect for entertaining, raised garden beds, custom landscape design by renowned architect Steve Martino, and ironwork by artist Bruce Fortner. Enjoy limitless possibilities with an open floor plan that includes a living room, dinning room, and former concert stage turned elevated studio. Arched entryways, ample natural lighting, original art-deco hardware, and rich, acid-stain concrete floors throughout, make this home a decorator's dream. Both master and guest bedrooms offer privacy, natural lighting, and their own closets. The bathroom has been expanded to include recessed shelving for additional storage and features the classic elegance of marble flooring, white subway tile, pedestal sink, porcelain bath and shower. The kitchen, which was been featured in numerous photo shoots including the Phoenix New Times, offers a creative throwback to the home's midcentury past with a Big Chill fridge, Kitchenaid stove, white Carrera marble countertop, matching subway tile, chalkboard walls, custom wood shelving, and repurposed milk crate shelving in the pantry. The detached garage features a newer washer and dryer, with plenty of room still available for parking, storage, or an artist's studio. If you're looking for a home that is truly unique, a home that preserves the integrity of past while breathing in a fresh take on design, you have found it! Minutes from downtown, walking distance to the shops and restaurants at My Florist shopping center, and a stone's throw from the park that Thrillist and Forbes have named as one of the best in the nation. Don't wait, this house will not be on the market long! Sellers are related to listing agent.
