Hello world, I’m 418 N Robson and I’ve been around for a long, long time. I remember the big flood of 1946, when “Pepper Square” was a Greyhound Bus Depot and when the Majestic was still a theater. A lot of me is still original however my current family loved me enough to add additional space and I went from a 900sqft home to a 2600sqft. They have been with me for over 13 years and have loved me every second I am very sad to see them go but their family has finally outgrown me. Some think that my lot location is not ideal and that it might be bothersome because University is so much bigger now than it ever used to be but there is soooo much space in between and I’m further north than most people think. My family will be the first to tell you that the location has never been an issue and you cannot hear traffic at night while you are sleeping or from the kitchen while making dinner. My enormous lot has given my family lots of space to play and entertain. My character, history, functionality and charm is ready for another and I can’t wait to make new memories with a new family that will love me just as much. Is that you?
This is it! That perfect blend of history, charm, and location. Mesa’s very own Robson Historic District has quite the significant history! Also known as Pomeroy Place, this neighborhood was platted by Frank T. and S. Dora Pomeroy, early Mesa pioneers. West 2nd Street district, the neighborhood to the East, was home to the most prominent middle to upper class families in the early 1900’s and, because of that, 2nd Street itself was often called, ”Millionaire Row”. On a street with tree lined medians (one of the very few tree lined medians in Mesa), 100 year old trees, and neighbors that have passed their homes from generation to generation lies this gem built in 1936.
The charm begins at the curb and doesn’t stop! The incredible refinished “real” hardwood floors, along with original kitchen and bathroom create the perfect look and feel that you would expect from a historic community.
The oversized lot has a very cool and very old 2 story detached building that has quite a history and offers versatility. The commercial / residential zoning makes it easy to run a business out of this location or make it a great Airbnb rental or primary residence.
This is a walk-able community! The police station is at the end of the street on Robson which is sure to keep things nice and quiet in the neighborhood. On your walk you can visit the “secret garden”, the “hanging tree”, 3 different museums, the MAC (world-renowned arts center), the Mesa Farmers Market (every Friday from 8am to 12pm), and a variety of eclectic shops and restaurants. While you are at it, grab a ride to Tempe or Phoenix on the train but don’t forget to stop at Inside the Bungalow first for an amazing cup of joe. Say hello to Betty for me!
Welcome to the Evergreen Historic District. The wide, tree-lined streets, the gathering of an eclectic variety of home styles, and the quaint, tight knit community of neighbors complete the feel of times passed while incorporating the convenience and amenities that a modern family requires. This 1950 Ranch style home, built by Lester Kuck, is not a common style for this area. J.G. and Doria Allen, a co-owner of Styles and Allen Contractors, were the first owners of this wood board and batten siding mixed with painted concrete masonry units.
The steel single-hung windows and sprawling front facade with low pitch gable roof are characteristics of the ranch style. Historic glass still exists however 2 of the windows were replaced with triple pane. This home has been recently remodeled from floor to ceiling with careful attention to preserving the unique details that make it like no other with tons of historic charm, built-ins and custom touches throughout.
Crisp white plantation shutters with matching crown molding, exposed brick fireplace, and wood flooring are beautifully accompanied by bright white wainscotting, the perfect shade of neutral custom paint and accent wall panels.
Gourmet kitchen boasts gas cook stove, granite counters, bright white cabinets and subway tiles. Stainless appliances and indoor laundry are definitely an added bonus.
The family room is comfortable and spacious! The wood accented ceiling, accent wall panels and beautiful historic glass windows make this room so warm and inviting.
The large master bathroom with double sinks and huge walk in shower with glass surround is a dream! The framed mirror and perfectly laid tile perfect the look.
The bonus room, formerly a covered patio, is fully permitted and was just recently enclosed and finished. Gorgeous built-in bookcases and desks make it a great place to work from home or a homework/media nook for the kids. Tons of natural light pours into the bonus room from the double french doors that open to the extended covered patio.
This little piece of historic paradise sits on an oversized lot with access to city irrigation. The options are endless from large family gatherings to baseball games with the kids on a lot of this size. Enjoy the coming and going of the seasons under the canopy of majestic, mature citrus trees. There is even a pomegranate tree! The vibrant green grass is the perfect back drop to the rose bushes that have been there for decades. This tight knit community feel lends itself beautifully to holiday celebrations such as Halloween and the Christmas season. More than 600 children visit Evergreen during Halloween and the streets are lined with lights and decorations immediately following Thanksgiving to welcome the coming Christmas season. Welcome home!
Huge outdoor storage area under roof and behind bonus room. AC units were replaced in 2013 and 2016.
