| November 10, 2007 | | Is a historic home right for you? | Phoenix has a wonderful mix of historic districts. With more than 35 Historical Districts showcasing more than 20 major architectural styles, if you are in the market for an authentic home, you're in the right place in Phoenix. Historical homes possess a character and a unique sense of history that is not easy to find in contemporary-built homes. Historic homes may echo to a simpler time but most have the modern, high-tech conveniences that homeowners demand today. Most residences can be categorized in four different eras. The Victorian Era-spans from 1885-1905 The Bungalow Era -spans from 1905-1925 The Period Era-spans from 1915-1940 The Ranch Era-spans from 1935-1960 Homes from these different eras reflect the socio-economic environment and national and regional design trends of that time period. Historic homes allow their residents a chance to "step back in time" and to enjoy a sense of history and continuity but keep in mind that historic homes require additional knowledge regarding preservation, rehabilitation, research and diligence as well as special programs available to historic home owners. Luckily the Artur and Joanna Real Estate Team can help you with all of your historical home questions. | | | |
