Many have heard the former home of John & Cindy McCain is going to be auctioned today, October 24th. The home has been extensivly remodeled and hardly resembles the original residence sold in December of 2006 to Jan Popple.
The auction event has received a lot of press and we think this is a good thing for the Central Phoenix region. Most of the articles have had a positive spin, a rare occurrence in anything real estate these days.
We are equally excited, as agents who work in Central Phoenix, about the exposure this incredible part of town is receiving. The mere fact that a home in the 10+ million range exists outside the Biltmore and Paradise Valley is news to many Phoenicians.
We have long promoted this region of the valley for the many positive aspects of Central Phoenix life. Easy access to the many downtown venues, drive time to the airport is mere minutes, Central Phoenix has a culture and sense of neighborhood unlike any other part of the Valley. Historic estates are prevalent as well as spectacular ranch style homes and simple bungalows. Diverse is the word that comes to mind.
The dining and shopping options are quite special in this part of Phoenix. Many home grown, and operated, businesses are minutes away; The light rail will add mobility; Downtown Phoenix is growing with activities, jobs and culture as has not been seen since the beginning of the 1900's.
So we extend a big thank you to Jane Popple for creating this event and the associated exposure to one of Phoenix's best kept secrets... life in the central corridor.
