Architecturally Significant Homes
The Phoenix Metropolitan area has a long history of great architecture. From Post World War I bungalows, Mid Century Modern ranches and striking new contemporary homes, there are beautiful examples of architecturally significant homes everywhere you look in Paradise Valley, Scottsdale and Phoenix.
