Located at 119 W Keim Drive in Phoenix's coveted Palmer Estates neighborhood, this remarkable residence combines architectural character, thoughtful design, and more than 50 years of pride in ownership.

4 Beds | 4 Baths | 4,283 Sq Ft | 18,247 Sq Ft Corner Lot 

 

A HOME DESIGNED TO STAND THE TEST OF TIME 

In a world of quick renovations and short-term ownership, homes like this are increasingly rare. For more than five decades, the property remained in the care of one family, a testament to both its design and livability. 

Situated on a lush interior corner lot in the coveted Palmer Estates neighborhood, the home's clean architectural lines, expansive glass walls, and seamless indoor-outdoor connection create a living experience that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. 

Natural light pours through the home, highlighting Aspen and redwood-paneled walls, Saltillo tile flooring, and thoughtfully designed living spaces that have remained relevant and timeless through the years. 

 

CONTEMPORARY DESIGN MEETS EVERYDAY COMFORT 

The main living areas were designed for gathering. 

Expansive living and dining spaces flow effortlessly together, creating the ideal setting for entertaining family and friends while maintaining a comfortable atmosphere for everyday living. 

At the center of the home, the kitchen offers generous preparation space and easy access to the surrounding living areas, making hosting both intimate dinners and large celebrations effortless. 

Throughout the residence, walls of glass frame beautiful views of the surrounding landscape and blur the line between indoors and out. 

 

A PRIVATE PRIMARY RETREAT 

The primary suite serves as a true sanctuary within the home. 

Wood-beamed vaulted ceilings add warmth and architectural interest, while a gas fireplace creates an inviting atmosphere. Direct access to the backyard allows for quiet mornings overlooking the lush grounds and peaceful Arizona evenings beneath the stars. 

Wine enthusiasts will appreciate one of the home's most unique features: a cedar-finished wine cellar with approximately 2,000-bottle capacity tucked away on the lower level.  

 

RESORT-STYLE BACKYARD LIVING 

Arizona living is at its best outdoors, and this property delivers. 

The backyard has been thoughtfully designed as a private retreat featuring a heated diving pool and spa, fire pit, built-in natural gas barbecue, mature landscaping, and an expansive covered patio highlighted by dramatic cantilevered ceilings. 

Whether entertaining guests, enjoying family gatherings, or simply relaxing poolside, the outdoor spaces offer year-round enjoyment. 

 

 

THE BEST OF NORTH CENTRAL PHOENIX 

One of Palmer Estates' greatest advantages is its exceptional location. 

Residents enjoy convenient access to the Murphy Bridle Path, Uptown Farmers Market, Phoenix Mountain Preserve, Brophy College Preparatory, Xavier College Preparatory, Madison Simis Elementary School, The Meadows School, and some of the Valley's most beloved restaurants and local businesses. 

Downtown Phoenix, Uptown Phoenix, and major employment centers are all just minutes away.
