The house
Some homes have been flipped three times. This one has been waiting since 1961.
The 8637 is a true original: solid block construction, diamond-grille windows, a kidney-shaped pool, and the kitchen it was built with. It needs work, and that's the opportunity. Buy it now and make it yours, or let us finish it for you.
Pull out of the driveway and Camelback Mountain fills the windshield. That view doesn't need a renovation.

The good bones
Hallcraft “Sophisticate” plan
Hallcraft Homes was one of the first Valley builders to mass-produce houses after the war. This 1,622 sq ft “Sophisticate” layout is one of their originals.
Solid block walls
Masonry construction with the period diamond-grille windows. Quiet, sturdy, built for Arizona summers.
The pool
A classic kidney-shaped pool off a covered patio, ready for a refresh or for a swim.
Arizona room
An enclosed patio permitted by the City of Scottsdale in 1970, already counted in the home’s square footage.
Camelback views
The mountain sits right in front of you on the drive out of the neighborhood.

History
Built for the Scottsdale boom
In the years after World War II, Hallcraft Homes helped turn Valley farmland into neighborhoods, building block homes at a scale few builders had tried. The 8637 is one of them, and much of what made it modern in 1961 is still here.
