Nestled in and around the Downtown and Central Phoenix areas lie a variety of Historic Districts, each with their own unique style and appeal. Vintage Homes range from charming 800 square foot bungalows to luxurious Spanish Colonials sprawling over 5000 square feet. These "one-of-a-kind" properties beg to be lived in, loved and cherished. Some sport panoramic views of downtown or Central Avenue high rises… Others sit quietly on a block of mature trees, flowers and solitude … All of these homes make up an area with distinctively different architecture and most importantly , a sense of place and belonging.
Memories of weddings, births, graduations and reunions are woven into the tapestry of these historic homes with every dent in the floor, chip in the tile, or crack in the window. Unintentioned time capsules are sometimes exposed while peeling the years from a dining room wall, or re-tiling a bath. Wallpapers from days gone by or sepia stained newspapers stuffed between the wall studs become cherished treasures to the homeowner. Other times, these artifacts sit entombed and undiscovered while still managing to give their surroundings a warmth that we can't quite put our finger on.
Planting a tree when a new baby joins the family is a wonderful reminder of a special time in your life……and theirs…both now and in the years to come. Riding a bicycle as the evening air cools beneath palm lined avenues, having a BBQ for the neighbors in your backyard, or running down the sidewalk to catch the ice cream truck. These are fabrics interwoven throughout our historic areas, our senses and our hearts.
