Property Description
The layout is harmonious with seamless indoor-outdoor transitions and abundant natural light that graces every room. Preserved details in the living spacessuch as a built-in slatted room divider, built-in desk and wood-paneled wallspeak to a level of craftsmanship that you will see throughout the home.
The original post and beam, floor-to-ceiling window wall in the living area is nothing short of art, opening to the home to the completely private rear yard. An exposed slump block wall adds texture and interest to the living space.
The kitchen is where nostalgia takes center stage and every detail sparks delight. It is pure mid-century magic, anchored by a showstopping, fully functional vintage Tappan 400 range that looks like it belongs in a mod-era spacecraft. Featuring a pull-out four-burner gas stove, double-door oven and gleaming aircraft-style switches and knobsit's a true conversation piece that's still in daily use. Original "Pioneer" by American Kitchen steel and birch cabinetry, adorned with copper hardware, echo the era's thoughtful craftsmanship, while cheerful laminate countertops and backsplash lend pops of color and playfulness. A counter-to-ceiling picture window and adjoining double French doors open to a covered poolside patio creating a seamless indoor/outdoor flow and inviting the sun to be your sous chef. It's a kitchen that doesn't just look coolit inspires and feeds the soul. The dining space features a vintage Moe Lighting chandelier and connects seamlessly with the kitchen and living room, offering the ultimate in entertaining spaces.
Looking for a primary suite that welcomes peaceful rest and relaxation?! This beautiful space features exposed block walls, vaulted ceiling, concrete floors, modern ceiling fan, frosted glass + aluminum closet doors and a dual pane sliding glass door with direct access to the pool/spa and rear yard. Both bathrooms offer a blend of vintage preservation with timeless updates. The primary bath includes a creamy white fully-tiled shower, modern Euro vanity and tiled backsplash. The hall bath is pure retro perfection with a speckled aqua tiled shower + matching countertop, original vanity and vaulted ceiling with skylight. Both secondary bedrooms have floor-to-ceiling window walls, concrete floors, vaulted ceilings and ceiling fans.
The rear yard is a sanctuary designed to ground you in the slow rhythm of desert living. Over a decade in the making, this backyard unfolds like a love letter to Arizona. It is lush and serene by design. The custom 2015 California Pools modern rectangular pool and heated spa are ready for parties, but you might want it all to yourself for some prime relaxation. A generous Baja shelf in the pool invites lounging, while 3 arching deck jet fountains stream across the pool. The spa is heated with a gas heater and you'll love the variable speed pool pump. A contemporary steel covered patio offers poolside entertaining space with direct access to the kitchen. There is also a cozy modern cabana for sun lounging. Framing this tranquil scene, the desert-adapted landscape offers easy-care greenery and perfect night-lighting. Block walls with vine-draped steel screens create enhanced privacy.
And then, there's a jewel box poolside surprise: a bespoke, 11' 10" x 10' modern pool house/studio that radiates with MCM charisma. Vaulted ceilings and clerestory windows crown the space, while custom floating oak shelving invite personalization and full French doors open wide to greet the pool and spa view. Whether you envision it as a creative haven, home office or chill spaceit's a detached space that offers so much potential. The expansive vaulted and beamed covered patio is adjacent to the pool. It is accented with a full breeze block wall that feels equal parts art and architecturecreating privacy, texture, and just the right dash of mid-century allure.
