Property Description
In the heart of the Alvarado Historic District, one of Central Phoenix's most quietly rare communities with just 33 homes, this red brick bungalow captures something increasingly difficult to find: history, architecture, and a genuine sense of neighborhood, all in the center of the city. A brand-new roof has just been completed, along with new doors on the detached casita and garage, adding to an already substantial list of improvements that includes a new HVAC system in 2023, beautifully remodeled kitchen and bathrooms in 2023, and updated plumbing beneath the home in 2024.

Supplements
Inside, the character is unmistakable. Coved plaster walls and original hardwood floors carry the home's history forward, while two inviting living spaces, a beautiful dining room, abundant natural light, and a fireplace create a home that feels warm, layered, and lived in. The kitchen brings old and new together with a large butcher block island, crisp white cabinetry, bright granite countertops, Saltillo tile flooring, high-end stainless appliances, and a gas range.
Beyond the main house, the detached private casita with its own restroom creates an entirely separate space for an office, studio, creative retreat, or whatever life asks of it. A detached two-car garage adds another layer of functionality and rarity.
Outside, a private grassy backyard unfolds beneath mature shade trees, creating the kind of outdoor space that feels increasingly special in the heart of Phoenix.
But perhaps what makes this home most remarkable is everything that surrounds it. Alvarado is a neighborhood where people know one another, where the cul-de-sac becomes a gathering place, and where community isn't an amenity, it's part of everyday life. Walk to Oven + Vine, explore what's emerging along McDowell, hop onto the bike lanes on 3rd Avenue, and experience what it means to live connected to the city rather than simply near it.
Welcome to 130 E Alvarado Road. Historic without being frozen in time. Updated without losing its soul. And ready for its next chapter.
