Property details

About 538 W Holly St W

This charming 1942 ranch home with a modified English garden wall bond brick pattern, was designed by Jake Knapp and built by JR Womack in the heart of the Willo Historic District and located on one of its most sought-after streets. One thing you won't find in a home like this is a gigantic garage/workshop. If you are a car hobbyist, this may be the best deal downtown! Move in ready or ready for your personal aesthetic touches, this classic Willo home offers beautiful curb appeal and a traditional landscape that offers mature shade trees that leads you to the original front door and mailbox. As you enter, you'll discover gorgeous polished, integrally colored concrete floors, great trim work and large spacious rooms that are rare within this neighborhood. A huge front living room offers a great family comfort and a view to the front lawn. Corner windows in both the kitchen and living room offer a detail not seen in homes of this era. The kitchen has craftsman style oak cabinets and been beautifully remodeled to offer stone counters, excellent storage and direct access to the backyard. Windows have been replaced with dual pane insulated glass and home has been upgraded with newer gas fired furnaces and a gas fired tankless water heater. Charming historic details like the original milk bottle box by the back door where the homeowner could specify their order for the milkman to deliver. The backyard offers a nice blend of lawn and pavement for access to a gigantic, oversized air-conditioned and plumbed garage which could easily be transformed for a future casita with its own kitchen, bathroom, laundry or the added bonus of a detached office/studio. Perfect for working from home or creative endeavors. This home is perfect for urban living! As one of the first historic districts, Willo is only a breath away from the light rail, incredible dining, culture and all the amenities downtown Phoenix has to offer. It's not just a home but a piece of history ready to be cherished by its new owners. Embrace the blend of historical charm and modern convenience in this truly gorgeous landmark home. This lovely property is one not to miss. (Original 1942 blueprints of the home and detached conditioned space are available with the sale).
