8540 N Central Ave Unit 5, Phoenix, AZ, 85020

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Murphy Bridle Path is steps from your front door! Whether you walk, hike, bike, run, fish or feed the ducks, you will not be bored here! Dining options are diverse and abundant with access to light rail going to Sky Harbor nearby. The main floor is a spacious living area with the original fireplace, a powder room with a large storage closet, a coat closet in the foyer and, best of all- is the only two story unit that doesn't share the walkway/breezeway! A mature ficus and landscaped entrance provides shade and privacy as the somewhat larger loft units have of the two floor plans in the 31 unit community. This unit is said to have been designed for the architects mother but that has not been confirmed. This location boasts one of the best school districts in Phoenix, so, families with two children willing to share the large second bedroom with a full bath, double sink and walk in closet, it's perfect as a starter or a sound investment. On the second floor the two bedrooms have a laundry area conveniently between them at the landing and a linen closet adjacent. The huge master rooms feature skylights in the bathrooms, as well as at the top of both staircase landings. Enjoy your favorite beverage on the master patio with beautiful mountain views or Friday night lights sounds from the high school band nearby! The flowering Queen's Wreath on the cozy back patio provides shade and seclusion to the space and a nice view from the second suite. Vibrant yet quiet, this neighborhood is one of the most sought after in the North Central corridor. Heavily tree lined, along the canal, public transportation at the end of the U shaped drive and surrounded by public and private investment projects. The unit has been well maintained without making significant trendy upgrades so it's a blank slate for the right buyer!
