Thornwood Remodel


Those of us who live in Villa Monterey's historic neighborhood know what a gem the community is. 20th-mid-century homes have not only survived, they have ignored the passage of time and provide a perfect spot to enjoy our retirement years. That view has now been shared through Phoenix Home & Garden (PH&G) magazine's article about a recent property renovation. 


With a desire to create a "home to grow old in", VM III's Thornwood resident, Gregg Hodson, utilized his interior design expertise to transform his newly acquired property into a beautiful and functional home that met those goals.
