Property Description
Some homes have been remodeled. Others have been preserved. This authentic adobe residence in Historic Medlock Place has a story all its own. Originally built by renowned Arizona author Oren Arnold, the home reflects a quiet appreciation for craftsmanship and Arizona heritage that is difficult to recreate today. Set beneath mature shade trees on a nearly one-half-acre irrigated lot, the 2,505-square-foot property includes a 1,934-square-foot main residence, a separate upstairs guest house, and a detached 231-square-foot studio, offering flexibility for guests, a private office, or creative pursuits. Inside three wood-burning beehive fireplaces and flagstone floors and soaring 10-foot wood-beamed ceilings in the family room offer rich architectural details. The grounds are equally special, with expansive green lawns, established landscaping, and a fenced play pool creating a setting that feels worlds away while remaining in the heart of North Central Phoenix. Recent improvements include a new foam roof completed in 2024 and a block perimeter wall built in 2008. Just minutes from Uptown Plaza, residents can walk or bike to favorite neighborhood restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and local gathering spots before returning home to one of the area’s most distinctive properties. Homes of this caliber are purchased as much for their character and setting as they are for their square footage making this a special address for those who appreciate authenticity and the enduring appeal of Medlock Place.
