Just listed in the highly coveted Willo Historic District. Known as ''El Padre,'' this iconic 1928 Spanish Mission Revival home-originally built by F.P. Baldi and historically recognized as the Baily & Upshaw Spec House-is a true architectural landmark. Concrete masonry construction, stucco exterior, and a high-pitched clay tile roof with exposed rafters anchor its timeless design, while arched entry details, Talavera tile accents, custom wrought iron, and dramatic windows complete the Spanish electric style. The home's significance is reflected in its multiple magazine features, including three cover appearances since 2016 and recognition by Phoenix Home & Garden. Inside, original character blends seamlessly with thoughtful modern upgrades. Highlights include a grand foyer with hand-hewn beams, Saltillo flooring, and skylights; an elegant ballroom with soaring ceilings and original wood floors; and a beautifully updated kitchen featuring solid surface counters, a nook, & hand-painted Talavera tile, premium appliances, and restored ceilings. The primary suite offers a spa-like bath with heated floors and custom finishes, while the outdoor spaces showcase a heated and chilled saltwater pool (2022), brick pavers, custom ironwork, and updated mechanical systems, preserving historic charm while delivering today's comfort and convenience. You can't beat the location of this home & you have a chance to own a piece of history. It's an amazing neighborhood with quick access to popular restaurants and the Art district.
