Mucha Casa on the Modern Phoenix Home Tour 2018 in Marion EstatesMarketed as Mucha Casa in its time, this ranch home is a Gold Medallion all-electric home by Ard Hoyt. The owners have made several energy saving modifications, including replacing all windows with double pane glass, and installing a solar water heater. Replacing the windows alone resulted in a 20% reduction in electric bill! The home has always morphed to accommodate a changing family and is now suited to aging in place.
