A affordable antiquity...
1110 West Culver St., Phoenix, AZ 85007

Capture the style of medieval Spain and the grace of a Phoenix home built in 1926, all without giving up the comforts of a modern home. Through the open sight-lines of the Spanish arches, you'll have everything you expect in an F.Q. Story historic home - cove ceilings, a classic fireplace, breathtaking hardwood floors. But then your eye will lead you to the Solarium and to the Kitchen - upgraded for luxury, comfort and ease of use. Indoors and outdoors meet and merge for you from the spacious Master Suite. This is the most-affordable home of its size in Story.

(Here's a map to help you find the home.)

The design motif of Spanish arches is repeated inside and out in this F.Q. Story Historic District Spanish Revival classic...

Come home to antiquity...

Come home to a style, a sensibility, a mien and a manner that are an ocean and half-a-millennium apart from the modern.

Come home to the understated elegance that emanates only from a deliberate thoughtfulness, only from an Old World care and craftsmanship.

Come home from that world that has erupted around you, seemingly without your choice, the world of the crass and the craven, the half-witted and ham-handed, the thoughtless, the careless – the worthless artifacts of a blank indifference.

Come home to dignity, a dignity borne within you but expressed by everything you'll find in this home – and everything you'll bring to it.

Come home from your day of striving and rise to a still higher level – in a residence that rises to meet you.

But come home to comfort, too. To living spaces that enfold your life. To a Solarium that brings the beauty of the outdoors within yet serves as a sturdy fortress against the brutal heat. To a kitchen that simply works – as the locus of a home life that will grow richer with every passing day.

Come home to stay...

The good, the true, the
beautiful – and the practical...

Art is art and love is love and springtime is always springtime. But in Phoenix springtime is always the precursor to months of hellish summer, so let's put away the stuff of whimsy. Let's get practical, instead.

And this home is a windfall of practical virtues. It's turn-key livable just as it is, for example, move-in ready. The kitchen has been enlarged and modernized without sacrificing the old-world charm of the home, and every room has been tastefully upgraded.

All the wiring has been replaced, and all the plumbing. These are unseen improvements, but they will add to your enjoyment of the home--just as the repeated failure of antique hardware would contribute to your despair.

There's a brand-new all-electric air conditioning and heating system, a practical boon as the heat grows ever more hellacious.

But do take a moment to take the outdoor temperature. Then take account of the Low-E dual-pane windows installed throughout the house. These represent an esthetic compromise with the historic accuracy of the home. But the average electric bill was just $33 a month in 2005.

Bonum, verum, pulchrum. Elegance is the good, the true and the beautiful, entwined together to express one perfect idea. Here it is, the perfect home, waiting only for you to complete its promise.
