PHOENIX – A vintage hotel in Jerome is now on the market as a home.
Russ Lyon/Sotheby’s International Realty is listing former “The Little Daisy” Hotel for $6.2 million.
The 3.45-acre, eight-bedroom, seven-bathroom hotel was built in 1919 and Walter Acker and his wife, Lisa, bought it in 1995 for $190,000.
The newly renovated home features 12,000 square-feet of indoor space, a 9,000-square-foot rooftop garden and a 2,600-square-foot garage.
“When Walter and Lisa Acker purchased this historic property, it was a mere shell of a building. Nothing remained. No windows, doors, fixtures, even the roof was removed on the third floor, leaving the building exposed to the elements,” listing agent Donna Chesler said Monday.
“Today, it is a true historic masterpiece.”
More features include an ample wine cellar, a telephone booth, bar and theater/game room. The home has 33 rooms with a spacious living and dining room.
James S. Douglas, who purchased and developed the Little Daisy Mine company in 1912, built the Little Daisy Hotel nearby originally as a home for miners in 1919. Royal Lescher and Leslie J. Mahoney were the architects who designed the original hotel.
The home will be 100 years old on Jan. 1.
