Charming, completely remodeled 2 bed / 1 bath home in the no HOA community in the Oakland Historic District of Phoenix. Detached garage & covered carport is a huge plus! Adorable curb appeal & delightful covered front porch greets you. Bright & open floorplan w/ lots of natural light! Recessed lighting & beautiful flooring, including diagonally laid tile. Great kitchen w/ SS appliances (including stove w/ pot filler), quartz counters w/ subway tile backsplash, lots of cabinet storage along w/ one wall w/ upper shelving for a modern touch. And don't miss the extended window above the deep farm sink. Primary bedroom has newly stained concrete. Second bedroom has carpet & large built-in bookcase. Both bedrooms have nice size closets. Remodeled bathroom offers gorgeous vanity w/ glass bowl sink & shower w/ dual showerheads (including rain shower) & custom tile work. Laundry closet w/ brand new W/D (2021). Roof & AC were replaced in 2017 allowing you to buy w/ confidence. Fantastic backyard w/ perfectly placed desert landscaping (including a variety of healthy cacti & flowering plants), new corrugated steel patio cover, large grassy area & cement walkway to garage & gate to alley. Garage has so many possibilities...could be a great art/hobby studio, sewing room, dance room, home gym, office, game/play room, man cave or whatever you can dream up! The Oakland Historic neighborhood is important as one of the few remaining historic neighborhoods in downtown Phoenix. Its architecture and development patterns are typical of working class neighborhoods that flourished around central Phoenix after the turn of the century. Most of the Oakland district neighborhood are close enough to walk to State and Federal offices, or to the shops on Grand Avenue so if you work in this area, a home here will get rid of your commute. Easy to show, so come check it out today!
