Lescher & Mahoney – 407 W Osborn Rd

A once in a lifetime opportunity to own an iconic, architectural wonder embedded deep into the history of Phoenix. Originally designed by architecture firm Lescher & Mahoney and used as their own studio and office, it remains today as one of the most iconic mid century modern buildings in Phoenix with masterfully designed interior and exterior spaces, built on a concrete shell with precast concrete wall panels forming the exterior walls of the upper story, and deep overhangs protecting the windows from direct sun helping with energy efficiency. Three wings of the building with a split level floor plan are centered around a square courtyard serving as the main entrance with covered gateway.
