28 East Hoover in Ashland Place, near the Heard Museum

Could not wait to share this Coming Soon listing with all of the Central Phoenix home buyers patiently waiting for a gem worthy of jumping in the car for!

There was a bit of a bumper crop this morning, as sometimes happens on Fridays for some inexplicable reason, and not just any bumper crop – a bumper crop of really good Historic homes in Midtown!

They seem to be averaging around 600K since our market caught fire last year, but the City of Phoenix offers substantial property tax savings to buyers purchasing a home in one of our many historic districts.

This one is actually on the National Register of Historic Places and I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it’s picture-perfect curb appeal with big front porch for social distancing from your neighbors!  I’ve been reading that front porches have been making a comeback for just this reason!

Come inside!

This home may be staged, we’re not sure, but it sure is warm and welcoming!

The fireplace, the arched doorway leading to the dining room, the hardwood floors, casement windows, sconces, and …well, I’m sure you can tell that we’re all over it!

The kitchen is always a hold-your-breath moment in homes of this vintage, but Hoover has been beautifully updated.

We love when a homeowner takes the backsplash tile all the way up to the ceiling instead of doing some sad two-inch high strip.

From the white cabinetry with farmhouse pulls to the patterned-yet-neutral floor tile…just perfection.

More questions?  Want more pics?  We’ll respond within the hour.
