Feel at home in your little slice of Mesa history! The 3BR 2BA 1919 craftsman style home is complemented by two guesthouses to offer a variety of living or rental arrangements. The spacious lot offers ample parking, an open back yard, and additional spaces such as a chicken enclosure, custom coop, a raised bed garden with watering system, and asparagus patch. Must see to appreciate fully! The interior of the main house features high ceilings, distinctive original painted wood trim, charming and functional built-in storage, a walk-in pantry, large closets, and lots of natural light characteristic of its roots as a bungalow style home. A rare asset in Mesa, the partially finished basement offers ample additional storage. Fireplace with stone facade and granite hearth and mantle create a cozy craftsman-style living area. Both kitchens feature updated stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and tile backsplashes. The larger guesthouse (approx 750 sq ft) has a full galley kitchen, full size bathroom with tub and shower, stackable washer/dryer, huge bedroom, and a dining/seating area. It also has French doors which lead out into the back yard. The smaller guesthouse ("The Cottage") (230 sq ft) features an expanded step-in shower, cabinets, and a niche designed for a small microwave and refrigerator. All interiors freshly painted. New carpet in bedrooms. Fresh gravel in driveway. The tax records state that this property was constructed in 1945; however, we have thorough documentation that it is much older, finished in 1919. This property was built by Harry Ellsworth, who moved to Mesa from Show Low so his son could go to high school. The full narrative as shared personally by Harry's grandson Dean, and supported by historical accounts, can be found in the documents in this listing.
