1222 Almeria Rd Phoenix, AZ 85006

Listing details for 1222 Almeria Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85006 : Welcome to 1222 East Almeria Road, a charming and thoughtfully upgraded historic home in the heart of Phoenix that truly has it all: character, modern upgrades, and an unbeatable location backing directly to the beloved Coronado Park. Step outside your rear gate and you're practically at the playground, and large great field space, with the park's full suite of amenities, including lighted tennis courts, basketball courts, a softball field, baseball field, community swimming pool, and open space for soccer and play, all just steps away. Coronado Park is a treasured neighborhood gem with a rich history dating back to the New Deal era, and has received significant city investment over the years to keep it a vibrant, well-maintained community hub for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The charming ranch home is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath beauty that greets you with incredible curb appeal, including a striking red pistachio tree, fragrant tangelo, and graceful willow trees in the front yard. A newer front door (2021) paired with a newly painted front stoop, and combo keypad screen door sets a welcoming and secure tone from the moment you arrive. Two large slab parking spaces in front offer convenient off-street parking, while a double RV gate to the rear yard provides even more flexibility, and gated parking. Step inside and you're immediately greeted by warm original wood flooring that flows throughout the home, elegant crown molding in every room, and gorgeous French doors with glass panes that open to a formal dining room, details that speak to the home's timeless character. Adding to its historic charm are the original milk door, mail slot, and phone nook, the "trifecta" of hisotirc mini-features, all beautifully preserved and complemented by additional built-in details throughout that make this home truly one-of-a-kind. The kitchen is an absolute showstopper, completely remodeled in 2022 with high-end finishes that rival anything you'd find in a higher end remodel. Ceiling-height upgraded soft close cabinetry maximizes every inch of storage, while the champagne penny tile backsplash, white quartz countertops, and rose gold hardware create a cohesive, sophisticated aesthetic. The linen-textured patterned floor tile, floating wood shelving, and champagne penny tile accent wall with a dedicated coffee station are the kinds of details that make you want to linger. The kitchen is also equipped with a newer induction stove, newer Whirlpool refrigerator, and a Bosch dishwasher, along with upgraded electrical, a garbage disposal, and recessed ceiling lighting with a dimmer switch. This kitchen was designed to impress and built to last. The bathroom has been equally transformed in the gorgeous bohemian chic style, featuring an upgraded vanity with a beautiful countertop, brushed gold hardware, upgraded toilet, a large window that floods the space with natural light, and a hidden oversized linen closet that provides the kind of storage you didn't know you needed! The home also offers a dedicated interior laundry room, a pantry, and a brand new gas water heater installed in 2025, ensuring comfort and convenience for years to come. The Ring camera at the front door may convey if desired. Major systems have all been addressed as well. The roof was replaced in 2021, and a new 200-amp electrical panel was installed that same year, giving buyers true peace of mind. Solar was also installed in 2021, and it's a genuine game changer: electrical bills drop to zero for roughly half the year, and even during the peak summer months, the highest bill typically reaches around $100 or less. The balance of the remaining solar loan can be paid off with a very strong offer. Out back, the fully fenced rear yard offers a grassy play area perfect for play, pets, or weekend gatherings, along with a very large, heavy duty lockable storage shed. A newer perimeter block fence adds privacy and polish. The 1 car garage has been thoughtfully finished with drywall, insulation, and paint, making it ready to customize as an art studio, exterior office, hobby space, or anything a buyer envisions; it already has electrical and lighting, and opens to alley access for easy entry. The double RV gate adds even more versatility for parking, toys, or gear. And of course, the crowning feature of this property's location is that rear gate access directly to Coronado Park's playground and green spaces, making it effortless for homeowners to enjoy everything this beloved park has to offer every single day. 1222 East Almeria Road is the rare find that checks every box: historic charm, higher end modern upgrades, energy efficiency, practical amenities, and a location that puts one of Phoenix's most cherished parks right in your backyard. Come see it for yourself, you're going to love it here!
