Located in the gated enclave adjacent to the Phoenix Country Club, Manor Drive has long been associated with some of the city’s most gracious and established estate homes. This particular residence, designed by noted architect Ed Varney and built in the 1930s, has been carefully preserved and updated, maintaining its timeless character while incorporating thoughtful modern enhancements. It’s now on the market for $3.75M.
Blending historic architecture with refined livability, the home’s layout is both functional and elegant. The main level includes a spacious, remodeled primary suite and a secondary en-suite bedroom, offering comfort and flexibility for guests or multigenerational living.
At the center of the home, a fully remodeled kitchen serves as a gathering space, featuring high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, a walnut-topped island, and abundant natural light that enhances the home’s warm and inviting atmosphere. Formal and informal living spaces are arranged throughout the main floor, including a dining room, a comfortable living room, and a den.
One of the home’s most distinctive features is the conservatory, an entertaining space defined by a striking glass ceiling that brings the outdoors in. Upstairs, two large bedrooms are connected by a spacious Jack-and-Jill bathroom, continuing the home’s emphasis on generous proportions and classic design.
The lower level adds even more functionality with a basement, a large laundry room, and a dedicated potting room, complementing the home’s livable yet sophisticated layout.
Outdoors, the property transforms into a private resort-style retreat. The grounds include a large swimming pool, gazebo, artificial turf lawn, bocce ball court, multiple fountains, and a fire pit, all framed by mature, lush landscaping that enhances both privacy and ambiance. A two-car garage completes the residence.
More than just a historic home, the property represents a blend of architectural significance and modern luxury in one of Phoenix’s most desirable neighborhoods. More details can be found at rocoluxuryhomes.com
