Five bedroom two bath home from the 1950's with tall mature trees and shady yards. Great bones, made right and solid. The large back yard is separated into two spaces; one side for the garden, chickens and honeybee hives. Eggs and honey were shared over the years with many great neighbors. This is a nice street where neighbors know one another. The other side of the yard has a huge 10ft deep pool and a large mature tree for summer time shade. Wild doves and love birds come to visit now and then during early morning swims. Your own private pool to enjoy for you and family/friends. Several native plants stay at the house for your garden hobbies. It's a personal resort in the middle of the city. Also, there is no HOA, a bonus. The house could use some updates, but is comfortable as is. Fresh paint inside and out with a new kitchen sink/faucet with ceramic tile backsplash. The home has a large pantry with a door leading to the backyard, side gate and driveway. The large bonus room offers tons of extra space, in the past it has been used as an indoor greenhouse, a school, wood shop, welding shop and an outdoor(ish) movie theater. The washer / dryer, refrigerator and range bought in 2020 stay with the home.
Just minutes to Grand Canyon University, a hospital around the corner, restaurants, retail shops, and Washington park, one of the oldest parks in the city of Phoenix. The park, which is walking distance from the home, includes a dog park for your furry family members, renowned tennis courts, two playgrounds, a pool, and lighted basketball and volleyball courts. Bring a chair or blanket and watch some of the soccer or baseball games the parks have throughout the year. Washington Park also includes the Washington activity center offering several classes for fun that include art, writing, sewing, dance, yoga and sports classes, choices for all agents. There is also a gym at the center, all walking distance from the home.
Most shops are all within walking distance or you can take your bikes out for an early morning bike ride to the year-round Uptown Farmer's Market, which has over 200 vendors that include all kinds of items from flowers, jewelry, and food, all local businesses to support. The market has several bakery and coffee options, for a relaxing Saturday morning activity. Next to the Farmer's market is the Murphy Bridle path, a beautiful tree line walking and biking trail that many have enjoyed over the years since the late 1800's.
This Washington park neighborhood home is a rare find, with several remodeled houses recently selling nearby at much higher prices, allowing you the flexibility to move in as it is, or update with your own personal tastes!
