The historic c.1939 S.B. & Anna Lou Christian residence is located in the idyllic Willo Historic District and is an exquisite example of French Provincial Period Revival architecture. Extensively renovated by Troy Strumpfer of Modern Building & Design, this heirloom property reflects a rare balance of historic authenticity and refined timeless finishes.

The home maintains its architectural integrity from the curb with a stucco façade and original parasol canopy porch cover. A curated minimalist desert landscape and modern concrete paver walkway welcome guests. A patio made for lingering stretches almost the full length of the home with pony walls offering privacy from the street. At the front door, modern house numbers and a retro-inspired light fixture set the perfect tone for what lies within.

Craftsmanship and period details anchor the interiors. The living room features oak hardwood floors bordered with Brazilian cherry hardwood, crown moulding, gorgeous casement picture windows with plantation shutters and an arched entryway leads you into the dining space. Corner + picture windows, hardwood floors and a modern chandelier set the tone for lovely gatherings in the formal dining room.

The renovated kitchen is design-forward with elevated materials including custom cabinetry and dolomite natural stone counters with a backsplash that rises up the walls, creating depth and continuity. The appliance suite includes a gas range/ double oven + matching hood, French door refrigerator and a built-in beverage fridge. The classic Kohler sink is adorned with a champagne bronze faucet. The permitted, light-filled laundry + mudroom addition enhances the home's functionality and features patterned tile floors, built-in mudroom wall storage + bench, butcher block counters with countertop cabinetry + shelving and the front-load Whirlpool washer and dryer will convey.

The home offers 3 true bedrooms and 2 baths. The reconfigured primary suite opens to the rear yard through French doors on two sides, reinforcing the home's indoor-outdoor connection. The primary bath was completely rebuilt with timeless finishes including period-inspired floor tile, dual vanity with dolomite counters + raised backsplash with decorative edge. The oversized shower features classic subway-tile surround with rainhead, beauty bench, product niche and frameless glass enclosure. The new walk-in closet is a real treat for the era and is finished with custom built-ins. The hall bath has preserved vintage charm with yellow and black tile shower/tub tile, hex mosaic flooring, Art Deco-inspired pedestal sink and original built-ins; all details that honor the home's provenance. Secondary bedrooms feature hardwood flooring, ceiling fans and both have French doors opening to outdoor spaces (one opens to rear covered patio and the other opens to the rear side courtyard).

Substantial infrastructure improvements underscore the investment in quality, including new sewer lines (replaced/lined), recently updated AC and water heater (6-7 years old), several black-framed dual-pane windows + doors and fresh interior and exterior paint. The driveway accommodates multiple vehicles with an RV gate providing access to an extended driveway and a detached 1-car garage. The original garage creates future opportunity/upside potential, as the structure offers space for future ADU/casita conversion, studio space, home gym or office.

The rear yard is curated with the same level of intention as the interior. A substantial wood-clad vaulted patio with exposed beams creates an outdoor living space that can be enjoyed year-round, complete with tile flooring, ceiling fan and pendant lights. Herringbone brick walkways reference the home's historic character, while desert-adapted plantings and synthetic lawn provide carefree maintenance. Block fencing provides a sense of privacy.

Set in one of Phoenix's most architecturally-significant historic districts, you'll be close to Sky Harbor Airport, ASU, downtown Phoenix arts + sports venues and the light rail + major freeways. Exceptional walkability with nearby neighborhood favorites including Oven+Vine, Sophia's A Brunch Bar, Little Rituals, First Watch, Pino Pizza Al Centro and more. A convenient stroll to the best of what Phoenix has to offer.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the property qualifies for historic tax incentives, including current owner-occupant reclassification that reduces property taxes by approximately 50%; a meaningful long-term advantage in one of Phoenix's most treasured neighborhoods. A rare opportunity to steward a piece of Phoenix historybeautifully restored, thoughtfully improved and ready for its next chapter.
