Own a piece of Phoenix history! It is rumored that this home was built by the Bayless family, early residents who founded the Bayless grocery/drug chain. It was also the home of Miss America 1965, Vonda Kay VanDyke. This charming Spanish Colonial Revival in historic F Q Story neighborhood is conveniently located in the heart of uptown Phoenix just minutes from light rail, museums, entertainment, dining, freeways and all that our city has to offer. Built in 1936, home has been lovingly restored retaining many of the original features. Vaulted ceiling, archways, soaring fireplace with original tile trim and hearth plus colorful antique leaded glass window grace the living room. Chef's kitchen is complete with granite tile counters, stainless steel appliances, newer cabinets and an inviting window seat. Custom-made kitchen island provides additional space for eating or food preparation. Original hardwood floors have been refinished. Original pedestal sink and cast iron tub lend period charm to front bathroom, which has newer tile floor and tub surround. Floor plan is very flexible. A rear addition to the home, currently in use as a family room and office, can also be configured as a master or mother-in-law suite. The spa-like bathroom in the addition has a Jacuzzi tub and separate shower surrounded by serene cobalt blue tile. There is also a wardrobe closet with built-ins. The interior and exterior have been freshly painted. Recent improvements include lush landscaping in front and back with extensive paver paths and four different patio areas, one of which includes a fire pit, tailor-made for entertaining. An automatic gate leads to a pavered, enclosed parking area. A pergola over the parking area was added in 3/18. The stunning courtyard provides the sounds of a soothing fountain and a shady retreat for enjoying your morning coffee or for winding down in the evening with a glass of wine. Home was featured on the F Q Story Home Tour in 2008 and 2012.
