2041 N 11th St., Phoenix, AZ 85006

If you’ve been crossing your fingers just waiting for a historic Coronado home to pop onto the market, the time has finally come. Tucked into the heart of this increasingly popular neighborhood you’ll find 2041 N 11th, a charming brick bungalow built in 1940 that has all the makings of a knockout. As it stands, the two-bedroom, one-bathroom, 1000-square foot home is ready to be infused with love by way of window repair and some general remodeling. And at $250,000 that gives you plenty of room to not just fix ‘er up, but to impress upon it your own, personal stamp. Throughout, you'll find whimsical bits of original, historic flair. For example, the living room walls feature a delicate, hand-stenciled motif that almost seems to crown the space, and the original working fireplace makes for a beautiful focal point, as well. The hardwood floors here, and in the bedrooms, are also original, though they could benefit from a spoonful of TLC. Also throughout are original, heavy crystal knobs with metal plating on the doors, as well as ample window light. The two bedrooms feel cozy, welcoming and private, thanks to being nestled against the lush landscaping on the exterior, and the bathroom is another true gem that will dazzle with a little polish. Straight out of the '40s, it's outfitted with a beautiful claw foot tub, white hexagon tiles, and pedestal sink. As you can see, the eat-in kitchen is spacious, open, and flooded with streaming natural light. It's outfitted with retro linoleum flooring (keep or replace â“ you decide!), as well as a bounty of cabinet space and lovely French doors at the back that lead into a sun-kissed, enclosed deck. From here, you can access the secluded backyard, which has a sort of Secret Garden feel to it thanks to generous shade trees and a covered, wisteria-wrapped patio. There's also a built-in fireplace here, making this a perfect hideaway oasis for a friendly gathering, romantic at-home date night, or simply a little me-time. Beyond the covered patio are two storage sheds, as well as more space for a garden or your choice landscaping. One thing to note about this long and spacious backyard is that it does provide enough space to expand the home, should you desire. At the end of the day, 2041 N 11th is your chance to not just claim your space in the Coronado, but is your chance to really make a space your own. Schedule a visit, walk through the rooms, and just try not to envision it all coming to life.
