The district remains one of Phoenix's most historically significant enclaves, where adobe craftsmanship, human scale, and community values endure nearly a century later. ------------------------------------------------------ Features " Authentic hand-built 1937 adobe construction " Three-bedroom, three-bath main residence " Detached one-bedroom, ¾-bath guest casita with kitchenette " Heated and cooled pool with private courtyard setting " Mature trees and desert-inspired hacienda landscape " Hand-hewn wood details and handcrafted finishes throughout " Playful Artist Touches - Hand Crafted Mosaic Art " Irrigation-available lot perfect for gardens or urban homesteading " Historic neighborhood property tax advantage " Near-perfect scale and balance of proportion " Located in Phoenix Homesteads Historic District, original design by Robert T.
