Property Description

Search no more...The Hugh & Catherine Harris home is the home of your dreams. Enjoy the feeling of days gone by in this lovely Arts & Crafts Bungalow, located in the F.Q. Story Historic District and built in 1925. It is on one of the most beautiful blocks in the neighborhood and has striking curb appeal with its charming front porch. Step inside through the lovely front door and you'll be in awe of the gorgeous hardwood floors, picture railings and stately fireplace with a brick mantel. The living room has built in bookcases with natural light from the large picture window. There are three bedrooms along with 2 bathrooms. The kitchen has so much potential. A large formal dining room with a built-in hutch and lots of natural light, great for formal evenings of entertaining. There is a 1 bedroom detached casita that is perfect as a separate office with vaulted ceilings, and a ¾ bath. It is only minutes from Downtown and sporting events..
Imagine it is 1920's, F. J. Paddock is Phoenix's Mayor and John C. Phillips is Arizona's Governor. Mr. Harris was owner of the Harris Rubber company a distributor of De Soto Six cars. His office was First street and Van Buren.

Land that was to become the Story Neighborhood was initially purchased in 1887 and 1906 by Francis Q. Story, a horticulturist who was also known as the "Father of the Sunkist orange." Although platted in March 1920, the development of the Story Neighborhood did not begin until 1923, after the completion of the Kenilworth School and the construction of the Cave Creek Dam. In 1928 the Governor was Geo. W.P. Hunt and Phoenix Mayor was Frank A. Jefferson. F.Q. Story was a middle class neighborhood where there was "something for everyone". The area was at first considered to be too far from the center of town to be suitable for the development. The increasing use of the automobile and growing population made development more feasible. The first homes built in the neighborhood were located between 7th and 11th Avenues, south of Moreland. At that time, the Phoenix city limits extended only as far as 15th Ave. Early residents in the Story Neighborhood included several prominent Phoenix citizens such as: James H. Kerby, Democratic leader and Secretary of State for several terms, R.E. Farley, district representative of the Anti-Saloon League, and Frank Snell, a prominent attorney who built his $12,000 home at 920 Lynwood. Call soon before this one gets away.
