Historic Dowtown Home. Walk To shops, Restaurants, NAU

The Birch House was built in 1933 and has been beautifully updated throughout the years. This amazing property was once home to Pioneer, Platt Cline (Cline Library, NAU Cline Auditorium). A classic, single story home with a large fenced yard steps from historic downtown. The location is perfect to stroll or bike into town for dinner, shopping or taking part in the many activities on the Square. There are plenty of hiking and cycling trails close by as well as Wheeler and Thorpe Park.

The Birch house is 1300 SQFT and can comfortably sleep 8 people in its 3 bedrooms and Queen sofa sleeper. The master bedroom is spacious and has a King bed with direct access to a private deck. The second bedroom is off of the living room has a Queen bed and walk in closet. The large bunk room off the kitchen holds a set of twin bunk beds with twin trundle, 40" flat screen TV.

The living area is beautifully lit during the day with three sky lights and hosts comfortable seating and a Queen sofa sleeper. The 52" flat screen TV is equipped with DVD player and Apple TV. The dining area has a large table and plenty of seating. The larger of the 2 bathrooms is classically decorated with a rustic barn door closure. The home is equipped with central heating and air conditioning as well as a gas fireplace for your comfort no matter the temperature!

The outdoor areas at The Birch House are spacious and inviting with plenty of trees! There is a small stone patio with a BBQ grill off the kitchen for when you feel like grilling at home. There are 2 additional patios around the side yard with plenty of seating to enjoy a book, meals or just relaxing. The larger of the 2 patios boasts Peak Views and has a fire pit for cool nights and roasting s'mores! The yard is completely fenced to help provide a safe place for well behaved family pets.

You will look forward to returning to the comforts of The Birch House after a long day . . . whether you are exploring the Grand Canyon, water skiing at Lake Powell, Skiing or snowboarding at Snow bowl, catching an NAU sporting event, escaping the heat of the Valley or just escaping to our wonderful little mountain town, you can call The Birch House home while your here!
