Historic Gem with Pool in the heart of Downtown!
Summary:
Discover a rare gem in the prestigious Willo Historic District—this beautifully remodeled 4-bedroom, 4-bath home (including a 1-bed, 1-bath guest house) offers an exceptional stay in downtown Phoenix. Enjoy a spacious layout with a custom kitchen, two inviting living rooms, and a backyard oasis featuring a pool, mini pickleball, and cornhole. Minutes from downtown’s arts scene, sports venues, top restaurants, and nightlife, it blends comfort with prime city access.
Guest Access:
Guests will be provided a unique code to unlock the doors prior to check-in.
The Neighborhood:
The Willo Historic District is one of Phoenix’s most cherished neighborhoods, known for its tree-lined streets, vintage charm, and beautifully preserved historic homes dating back to the early 20th century. Located in the heart of downtown Phoenix, Willow offers a perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility. Visitors can explore eclectic shops, cafes, and local art galleries just minutes away, as well as Roosevelt Row’s renowned arts district and the Phoenix Art Museum. Sports fans can catch games at nearby Footprint Center or Chase Field, while foodies will appreciate the array of top-rated restaurants, craft breweries, and lively nightlife options. Willow’s unique character and proximity to downtown attractions make it a prime spot for those seeking a memorable Phoenix experience.
Getting Around:
Getting around downtown Phoenix is easy, with several convenient options to explore the area:
Valley Metro Light Rail: The light rail is one of the best ways to navigate downtown and beyond. It connects major spots like Roosevelt Row, ASU's downtown campus, the Phoenix Art Museum, and sports venues, with stops every few blocks.
Biking and Scooters: Phoenix has bike-share programs and rentable e-scooters located throughout downtown, allowing quick, eco-friendly travel between neighborhoods, restaurants, and attractions.
Walking: Downtown Phoenix is pedestrian-friendly, with sidewalks, crosswalks, and plenty of shade structures. Many of the area’s best attractions, cafes, and bars are within walking distance from one another.
Rideshares and Taxis: Uber and Lyft are widely available throughout the city, providing quick rides with easy pick-up and drop-off spots near popular venues.
Dash and Free Local Shuttles: The Downtown Area Shuttle (DASH) is a free bus loop that circulates through popular downtown sites, making it easy to reach places like the Arizona Center and Heritage Square.
Rental Cars: If you're planning to explore beyond downtown, Phoenix has ample rental car options. Street and garage parking are widely available throughout downtown, and major highways are easily accessible for day trips around the Valley.

Beautiful house! Plenty of space in a very nice, quiet neighborhood. Really nice layout for individual privacy (including bathrooms) which was perfect for a larger group. And a great backyard with a nice pool and lounging area!
