Your Moroccan oasis in the city...
1142 West Willetta St., Phoenix, AZ 85007

The style is Spanish Eclectic, but the details come straight from Marrakech. In the midst of the brutal Phoenix summer, you've found a refuge that is... cool, shady, refreshing. From the lush gardens front and back to the interplay of light and shadow in the 1935 residence, from the luxury of the Kitchen, Master Suite and Guest House to the simple understated elegance of the Living Room and Formal Dining Room, from the travertine and hardwood floors to the Moroccan arches, this is a home like no other. Find your respite from the desert heat in this Story Historic District retreat.

(Here's a map to help you find the home.)

The gifts of the Moors...

When you push past that gorgeous hand-crafted hardwood door, it's like stepping back in time. The walls are thick, and the rooms seem to whisper echoes of the past. Sunlight and shadow battle to a draw on the hardwood and travertine floors, their lines sharply defined. The rooms are divided by Moorish and Spanish arches, harkening back to a time when quality mattered, when taking the extra time to create lasting beauty was simply a matter of course...

It's no accident that the architecture of Morocco and Spain and Historic Phoenix are so much alike. We share a common enemy, after all, the brutal afternoon sun. In old features and new, this home speaks to the intelligence of design first mastered by the Moors. Stoutness of construction. Inviting in the light while repelling the heat. The use of gardens and shade structures to create of a cooling comfort. And an ebullient ornament to express a joyous defiance of the summer's heat.
