This is a great early ranch located on a terrific street in one of the prettiest historic districts. All of the rooms are nice size, have great windows, gas fireplace in the large living room, formal dining and a VERY spacious eat-in kitchen for a 1930’s home complete with vintage stove. The master has a walk-in closet and it’s own full bath. A large family room, laundry room with storage, and a 2 car garage round out the rare finds in a home of this era.
The beauty of a ranch is the versatility of style…change the flooring and paint and you could have a retro-mid-century, pottery barn comfy home, or sleek Z Gallerie modern…the possibilities are endless.

Buying a move-in ready Bank owned home in Downtown Phoenix. How is that possible?
August 10, 2009 by Lyle Plocher · Leave a Comment
Sam and Kim, a local celebrity couple, who some of you may know, have discovered the secret. There is currently a Mortgage Loan program which will allow you to buy a fixer and obtain money to renovate the home and combine the 2 loans into one 30 year fixed rate loan. Sam and Kim, recently purchased a bank owned fixer near the Park Central Mall. At the same time that they were approved for their FHA Loan, they were simultaneously approved for approx $32,000 in Rehab money. Thanks to their very capable contractor handling the Rehab and a little grunt work of their own, they will be able to move in and enjoy their renovated home within the next 30 to 60 days.
So the moral of the story is, if you have considered a Bank owned home, but realized they were all fixers, fear no more, you can turn your fixer into your dream home before moving in with only a small down payment.
