Three Fountains stands as a quintessential example of mid-century modern charm, masterfully designed by the renowned architect Al Beadle in 1963. Nestled within a vibrant community, this 59-unit enclave offers a harmonious blend of urban convenience and neighborly charm.

Located just a stone’s throw away from beloved eateries such as La Grand Orange, Postinos, and Ingo’s, and a short bike ride from culinary hotspots like Chelsea’s Kitchen, North Italia, Gadzooks, and The Vig, residents enjoy unparalleled access to the pulse of the city’s dining scene AND my favorite dentist, Dr. John Pappas and his dedicated team at Arcadia Dental Arts! 🙂

Despite its tall, narrow, and dense layout, Three Fountains exudes a sense of tranquility thanks to lush landscaping and shaded pathways that foster a neighborly atmosphere. Al Beadle’s signature design elements shine through, with colored glass panes adding a vibrant touch to the exterior and dramatic 20-foot frames adorning the rooftops, providing aesthetic appeal and practicality with solar sails.

Inside, Beadle’s ingenuity is evident in the efficient use of space, clean lines, and sharp angles that define the interior spaces. Large expanses of glass invite natural light, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living. Each townhome, spanning 1024 square feet, features a half bathroom downstairs and two bedrooms with a 3/4 bath upstairs, offering comfort and functionality for modern living. While many units have been retrofitted with private laundry facilities, the community also offers two convenient laundry rooms for residents’ use.

The quaint and secluded back patio spaces, surrounded by tall privacy walls, provide a tranquil retreat for residents to unwind amidst the bustling city. With two pools offering a refreshing respite from the desert heat, Three Fountains offers one a cool and convenient lifestyle at an affordable price point, making it an attractive option for those seeking a slice of mid-century modern living in the heart of Phoenix. If you’re in search of a place that marries style, convenience, and affordability, Three Fountains beckons with open arms.
