Twenty Three-02 -- a true unicorn property originally designed in 2015 by Jonah Busick and Joel Contreras, and featured in Dwell and Houzz as one of the original ''mullet homes'' -- historic in the front, unapologetically modern in the back. Extensively reimagined from the ground up, the home was essentially rebuilt with the original roof removed and reconstructed to showcase dramatic exposed trusses, tongue-and-groove wood ceilings, and all-new major systems throughout. The property offers approximately 2,112 total square feet, including a 1,600-square-foot 3 bed / 2 bath main residence and a separate 512-square-foot 1 bed / 1 bath converted historic carriage house. The front portion of the home preserves the integrity of the original red brick bungalow, while the rear addition becomes its stealthy steel-and-glass counterpart -- a striking yin to the home's historic yang. Architectural details include custom steel pivot doors, soaring vaulted ceilings, and a spa-like primary bath showcasing teak and concrete finishes. The detached carriage house was reinforced with a structural steel frame, spray-foam insulated, and fully drywalled, creating an ideal studio, office, or mother-in-law suite. Expansive raised wood decks unfold into an entertainer's outdoor setting complete with a wide linear fireplace, a steel pergola, and multiple indoor-outdoor living moments. Rear covered parking adds practicality to a property driven by design. Located just moments from The Coronado PHX and Dark Hall Coffee in the heart of the Coronado Historic District -- one of Phoenix's most architecturally creative and culturally vibrant neighborhoods -- this is a rare opportunity to own a home that helped define the district's modern preservation movement. A true statement property for buyers who appreciate architecture, design, and originality. Recreating a home of this caliber today would cost substantially more than the current offering price.
