“It is believed this home was designed by Charles Montooth”
It is believed that Elvis is still alive and running a Dunkin Donuts in Konxville. It is believed the moon landing was filmed in Stanley Kubrick’s backyard using Gi Joe dolls and acid spiked Tang. It is believed that COVID boosters mixed with 5G technology and seasonal McCormick blend pumpkin spice can alter human DNA thus creating a forthcoming horde of super-human lizard mutants whose pack leader will emerge via a miracle conception involving Neil Young and Daryll Hannah….look…you can’t make this stuff up.
“It is believed” is a slick way of conveying notoriety without confirming notoriety. It is believed this method works. Judging by this home’s 1956 born on date, the block supported porte-cochère, and the prestigious location of this lot….this puppy was likely bred by the Taliesin Fellowship mill. Charles Montooth may have even been involved, he supervised construction on many of the Frank Lloyd Wright projects of that period. The ribbed-for-her-pleasure ceilings, floor to ceiling glass, and angular facia joints drip with Wright’s Taliesin DNA. But the signature characteristic of every Charles Montooth design were his extravagant ceilings, mind-bending geometric anomalies that drew your eye toward the heavens.
This home’s ceiling lines are straighter than an Arkansas family tree.
It is believed…some faith requires imagination.

“ “
A picture says a thousand words, which is convenient considering this listing’s unwritten description reads like an Ethiopian menu. This property has two distinguishing features worthy of mention, which have somehow gone unmentioned:
- The home sits on an irrigated lot, with water rights grandfathered from the days of orchards and apple carts, so you can flood that green grass for the cost of a KFC bucket.
- There’s a basement.
We’re not questioning the wisdom of that combo meal as this basement shows no signs of ever playing the part of indoor pool. Two items you don’t find often, irrigated lot, basement ballroom, existing at the same address, for a price that’ll make you forget the carpet has more dimples than Edward James Olmos bobbing for fries. That’s word worthy!

“Seller does not need 6 months rent back”
Ok. Anything else they DO NOT need?
Seller does not need a reverse mortgage from Tom Selleck.
Seller does not need another Law and Order SVU spinoff.
Seller does not need to see another Olive Garden commercial to understand that Dockers clad yuppies laugh louder than Burt Reynolds slapping Dom Deluise when presented with salads the size of a raked yard and enough breadsticks to bridge the Atlantic. We get it Olive Garden. You’re hilarious.
This property didn’t make the Hot List because of its looks. Charm and cleanliness had scheduling conflicts. If they gave awards for deferred maintenance this place would get a life deed for the top podium spot. Mow the lawn and you’ll unearth five vehicles. You could reassemble a 1972 Datsun 240Z from the parts littering the home’s interior.
What we have here is a near acre lot, irrigated, with a single level block-built home weighing in over 3,000 sq ft. No HOA. That’s solid investment material.
But back to that Does Not Need sentence: **Seller does not need 6 months rent back after the close of escrow with all 6 months rent will be paid upfront through escrow**
It is believed: I’m thinking this Seller DOES need a six-month rent back. I spy a Hoveround and barbells, which are not the ingredients of a quick exit plan.
This opportunity is worth the wait.
WEEKEND TRAFFIC NIGHTMARE FUEL – Lite Edition
EB I-10 – The Stack is CLOSED, 43rd Ave to the I-17. Alternates are: stay home.
WB Loop 101 – CLOSED 7th Street to the I-17. The every weekend parking lot. Deer Valley Rd is the sucker’s alternative as its more torn up than Kanye watching Pete Davidson’s live feed. Bell Road is better, but pack a lunch for the wait at the Bell Rd/I-17 onramps.
That’s it. Get off your butt and come look at some fancy cars in Scottsdale!
