The 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 striking Georgian Revival design, a symmetrical floor plan, grand central staircase, lime-plastered walls, and a distinctive hipped roof with ten flush dormers. Once home to ASU's first principal and later to prominent rancher James C. Goodwin, this residence is deeply woven into Arizona history. Lovingly restored and thoughtfully revitalized, this landmark property offers a rare opportunity to own a timeless piece of Tempe's heritage. This home is full of possibilities and flexible spaces, all on a half acre of land with a separate studio. All 4 bedrooms upstairs have plumbing for ensuite baths.
