Property Description
Own a piece of Phoenix history AND a revenue stream! This beautifully preserved 1941 French Provincial in Willo comes with a guest house / ADU and 50% property tax reduction for owner-occupants, making this home an extraordinary opportunity for an income-producing short-term or long-term rental. The chic 400 square foot casita offers 1 bedroom, 1 bath and a full kitchen, all finished with the same elevated craftsmanship found throughout the main residence. The historic c.1941 George and Vallie Cornforth main residence is an exquisite example of French Provincial Period Revival architecture set in the heart of the beloved Willo Historic District featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with a split floorplan. The home’s architectural integrity remains beautifully intact with a distinctive mint -hued brick façade, bold vintage front door and classic casement windows. Brand new flooring and baseboards were just installed in May 2026. Timeless interiors feature a renovated kitchen with white shaker cabinetry, solid surface countertops and a full appliance suite, a generous split primary suite with dual walk-in closets and a luxe bath with herringbone marble accents. Substantial infrastructure upgrades include new supply plumbing, new HVAC in 2025 and a new roof in 2016. The private rear yard features sprawling lawns, mature fruit trees and a pergola with alley RV gate access. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this is preservation and modern living done right. Minutes from downtown Phoenix, Sky Harbor Airport and beloved neighborhood favorites. A truly irreplaceable piece of Phoenix’s architectural heritage.
