Rarely does an opportunity arise to own a expansive, park-like sanctuary right in the heart of downtown.

The enchanting backyard serves as your own personal botanical garden, featuring three separate, beautifully laid-out patios and a stunning rock-adorned fountain that fills the air with the tranquil sound of cascading water.

Remarks & Misc

Public Remarks: Rarely does an opportunity arise to own a expansive, park-like sanctuary right in the heart of downtown. Nestled at the end of a quiet, private street, this distinctive 1919 Pioneer home blends timeless historical character with a thoughtful, spacious 1997 addition--but the true crowning jewel of this property is its extraordinary, hidden acreage. Situated on a generous, ultra-private 1.12-acre lot, the grounds are a lush, wooded wonderland that feels worlds away from the desert. Massive, mature trees canopy the estate, offering unparalleled shade, privacy, and a vibrant green backdrop that has taken decades to cultivate. The enchanting backyard serves as your own personal botanical garden, featuring three separate, beautifully laid-out patios and a stunning rock-adorned fountain that fills the air with the tranquil sound of cascading water. Whether you are looking to meticulously restore a piece of local history, move right into a comfortable and highly unique home, or create an unmatched indoor-outdoor estate, this property is a completely blank canvas for your vision. NOTE: The expansive section of the property extending north toward the adjacent townhomes falls within the City Hillside Ordinance and Rockslide Zone, ensuring it remains a permanently protected, natural buffer where no standard building is allowed. However, the city may permit a custom sports court, pickleball court, or further custom landscape integration. PRICE REDUCED OVER $200,000! Bring all offers--opportunities like this massive, wooded downtown lot are practically non-existent!
Directions: The home is on 500 W and Diagonal, street says No Outlet.
