537 W VIRGINIA Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85003

Welcome to a beautifully updated 1938 home in the heart of historic Willo, with timeless vintage charm and wonderful modern updates and gorgeous detached casita! Main home 1,217 sqft, Guest 324 sqft. The elegant living room sets the tone with original scored concrete flooring, beautiful coved ceilings, and charming picture molding–an inviting introduction that immediately reflects the home’s architectural heritage. From there, the space flows seamlessly into a thoughtfully refreshed kitchen, where vintage-inspired design meets modern convenience. A classic-style range offers a nod to the past, complemented by updated stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher, built-in microwave, and refrigerator. Continuing through the home, you’ll find two well-appointed bedrooms and a flexible family room/den, each enhanced with custom roller shades, updated ceiling fans, and restored flooring. The bathroom remains true to the home’s origins, featuring black-and-white tiled flooring, a cast iron tub, and vintage pedestal sink. The original hallway cabinetry and phone niche add layers of preserved charm.
Stepping outside, the spacious backyard offers a versatile setting designed for easy, low-water living, while still providing a blank canvas for future landscaping or garden design. At the rear of the property, the detached guest house extends the home’s functionality with a fully updated studio layout, complete with an open kitchen, living and sleeping space, quartz countertops, and a ¾ bath with tile flooring- ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or a private workspace.
Behind the scenes, key improvements- including dual-pane windows, a new roof (2021), HVAC (2023), and exterior paint (2021)- bring modern comfort and efficiency. Leased solar system provides savings on energy bills and low monthly payments!
A home that offers a cohesive blend of historic character and modern updates, thoughtfully connected from front to back in one of Phoenix’s most beloved neighborhoods.
