Built in 1931 and thoughtfully renovated with sustainability and historic integrity in mind, this exceptional Brentwood Historic District bungalow is a rare blend of artisan craftsmanship, energy efficiency, and timeless design. The home was restored under the guidance of a nationally celebrated decorative artist—whose work has appeared in Traditional Home, Elle Decor, and The New York Times Home & Lifestyle—and whose prior residence earned the prestigious Coronado Renovation Award. Inside, vintage character shines through original Deco-era light fixtures, decorative metal ceilings, stained-glass accents, and beautifully preserved architectural details. The kitchen is a standout, featuring vintage 1951 metal cabinetry, the original O'Keefe & Merritt stove, and classic finishes that honor the home's history while remaining fully functional. The layout includes a remodeled Jack-and-Jill bathroom, a walk-in primary closet, and a finished third bedroom, offering flexibility for guests, office, or creative space. Eco-conscious upgrades include fused bamboo flooring with an oak appearance, double-pane Pella replacement windows, and a corrugated Corten steel roof with an estimated 50-100 year lifespan that is fully recyclable. Major systems have been thoughtfully updated, including newer 3.5-ton A/C, gas heat, a gas on-demand water heater, copper plumbing, and an upgraded electrical panel prepped for future solar installation. The original wood-burning fireplace remains intact and functional, with the option to convert to gas if desired. The property is located within the Brentwood Neighborhood, recognized at both the city and national level as a historic district, where renovation grants are available through Phoenix Historic Preservation. Additionally, the lot is pre-approved for a second single-family structure, creating a rare opportunity for a detached guest house, Airbnb, or long-term rentaladding meaningful upside in one of Central Phoenix's most sought-after historic communities. This is a home where history, artistry, and sustainability come togetheroffering a truly special ownership experience.
