Welcome Your Neighbors with Arcadia Front Porch Makeover
Greg Woods • June 14, 2024
The Arcadia neighborhood in Phoenix is heavily characterized by the large presence of welcoming front porches, decks, and patios. We think Arcadia does it right by creating an unmistakable sense of community by greeting neighbors and passers-by and inevitably creating a close knit neighborhood. This simple yet elegant renovation gives the homeowner a relaxation/entertainment space featuring a low enclosure fence that is defining yet welcoming. By adding a fireplace feature and some iconic Arcadia colors and lighting, a homeowner can experience a surge in property value, connect with their community and enjoy the outdoor living Phoenix has become famous for. As we travel, we see this popular renovation giving a significant facelift to traditional style homes in other areas of the country as well. Although this is technically not adding square footage, it will feel like it when you are hosting guests.
Comps are only part of your housing valuation. In this market curb appeal has a significant impact on what your house can resale for. Be sure your landscaper has a portfolio of night time lighting pics so you can get this kind of result. This pleasant but not overpowering illuminating effect requires skill so choose your lighting installer carefully. This project is days from completion.

We are thrilled to be part of this large scale renovation project in McCormick Ranch. The homes in this sought after neighborhood are all unique and have loads of character. This beautiful ranch is no exception. Working with the long time owners of this home has been an absolute pleasure. After much thoughtful contemplation they decided to maintain the structural shell with a few layout changes, but essentially to remodel a large majority of the home. The yard and location are enviable to say the least. More updates to come...
Great architecture is about more than space planning and curb appeal. It is also about ensuring the home complements and fits into its surroundings. This home respects the lot shape and the natural vegetation ensuring the home owners will feel the securing embrace of nature surrounding their beautiful new home from the moment they move in. Minimizing disturbance of trees and ensuring the natural environment is respected has long been part of excellent architecture. Thank you to this wonderful couple for this great picture and for the opportunity to be part of their home project. It is always exciting to see our designs come to life!
