About this home

Historic Farmer-Goodwin House is one of Tempe's true architectural treasures. Built in 1883 as ''The grandest house in the Valley'', this rare two-story adobe estate showcases Georgian Revival design, symmetrical floor plan, grand central staircase, lime-plastered walls, and a distinctive hipped roof with ten flush dormers. Live and work in the same home with light commercial zoning. Once home to ASU's first principal, later to prominent rancher James C. Goodwin, this residence is deeply woven into Arizona history. Lovingly restored and thoughtfully revitalized, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a timeless piece of Tempe's heritage. Full of possibilities and flexible spaces, all on a half acre of land with a separate studio. All upstairs bedrooms are plumbed for ensuite bath
