One of my favorite pastimes is to drive around charming neighborhoods looking at all of the houses.  I am constantly getting ideas and inspirations for my own home someday.  The Encanto-Palmcroft neighborhood which starts at McDowell and 7th Avenue in Phoenix, Arizona is nearly a century old neighborhood that boasts the most charming homes.  You will find an extremely diverse mix of period revivals that are Mediterranean, Eclectic, Tudor, French cottage, Pueblo, and Ranch.
