8001 N 5th Ave Phoenix, AZ 85021

Sitting on nearly half an acre in the heart of the North Central Corridor with NO HOA, this property offers something rarely found in this area: a fully self contained attached casita. Complete with its own kitchen, living room, bedroom, washer and dryer, screened in porch, and private entrance, it opens the door to true multigenerational living, a long term rental, a private guest suite, or even a separate home office space. The home was originally built in 1949 but has been extensively updated over time with meaningful improvements that make it live far more like a newer home. The layout connects the main living spaces with a family room centered around a wood burning fireplace, creating a natural gathering place for evenings at home or time spent with friends and family. Bathrooms and the primary bedroom have been remodeled, and many of the core systems have already been replaced, including plumbing, sewer lines, and water systems (a complete list of improvements is available). Outside, the property really sets itself apart. The backyard features a sparkling saltwater pool with a waterfall, a large covered patio with lights & fans, and a gazebo that is ideal for weekend get togethers, parties, or slow afternoons in the sun. Running through the yard is a small creek that serves a functional irrigation purpose while adding a peaceful and unexpected element rarely found on Phoenix properties. An Arizona room attached to the main house allows for peaceful and quiet mornings to enjoy the serene backdrop. The oversized lot also creates opportunities you simply do not get in most North Central homes. There is room for up to ten cars including the garage, or space to create a full basketball setup out front. Inside, handmade barn doors crafted by family members add a layer of character and story you will not find in typical builder finishes. This is a home that has been deeply cared for and thoughtfully improved over the years. Located in the highly sought after Sunnyslope High School district, just minutes from downtown, shopping, dining, art galleries, sporting events, and major freeways, properties that combine this much land, a true casita, and this level of investment rarely become available in the North Central Corridor.
