In the time between our last newsletter and this one, our 2br/2ba, 976sf cute bungalow in Central Phoenix went under contract.

Sorry, folks. We can usually time these listings so that I can tell you about them in the newsletter.

Next time, Maybe.

For now, I’d still like to tell you about this one.

I get people all the time telling me they are holding out for that historic bungalow downtown. For the first time home buyer, this is a great option. It’s small inside, but the 7,200sf lot is big enough to add to the home or add an additional structure.

With city ordinances likely to loosen up around second dwelling units, this is a good time to jump on a property like this.

In this case, the huge back yard has already been landscaped, so it’s ready for entertaining and relaxing. The home is in great condition.

It has a cute claw foot tub in the bathroom, and the historic gas fireplace.

The shady front landscaping is easy to maintain and set up perfectly for relaxing on the front porch.

Seriously, if we had more homes with this kind of landscaping in the front, we would not have that oppressive heat island quite so badly in Phoenix.

The property went under contract in about a week, but we are leaving it available for showings. The closing date is coming soon, so watch our listings page for more.

Hint: We’ve also been contacted by a party representing owners of a similar bungalow on the street who is thinking to sell. So, stay tuned for more!
