Bright, beautiful, freshly painted 1,536sf English Cottage style home which is fully air conditioned by a new unit, featuring beautiful original wood floors, enhanced with new electrical wiring, a separate laundry room, 2 bedrooms with period closets & modern organizers; an architecturally correct, wood burning fireplace, beautiful architecturally coved ceilings as well as a large exterior patio and cool lower root cellar (basement). A spacious living room and a kitchen with period appliances which appear to have never been used. Whether gardening is your passion or you just like to have a cup of coffee outside in your own private area, large grassy front yard or fenced backyard awaits you. This home was built by Building and Home Finance Association in 1931 for Mr. and Mrs. Glenn and was highlighted in the local newspaper when completed. An article and photograph of the home at the time is on display at the home. Del Norte Place, developed by Dr. James Collier Norton, was opened to the public in 1927. Conceived as an English Cottage style neighborhood, further development of surrounding areas enclosed Del Norte Place on three sides by park greenbelt and historic Encanto Park. The neighborhood represents a range of architectural styles popular between World Wars I and II, and most homes have little or no alterations. Promoted as "a beautiful subdivision" and in "the countryside west of town," the earliest homes were designed in the English Period Revival styles. By the 1940s, the more elaborate French Provincial Ranch appeared, some built by Del Webb. Early Ranch, Bungalows and Spanish-style homes are also represented. The upscale neighborhood was in a highly desirable location for homebuyers of the day, across the road from sprawling Encanto Park. With the addition of the Encanto Golf Course in 1937, Del Norte Place was now surrounded on three sides by a recreational green belt. Homes built after this time were promoted as "in the heart of the park." This is a quiet multigenerational community of young families, singles and older couples with quick access to restaurants, professional baseball and basketball as well as concert venues, the theater, museums, golf and recreational activities and the downtown city energy.
