Description

This special property has been featured in The New York Times! If you've been searching for a home that feels crafted, not copied — this is it. Set in the foothills of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve, this 1959 home blends character, craftsmanship, and modern comfort. With nearly 2,200 square feet of living space on a nearly 17,000-square-foot lot, it offers sweeping MOUNTAIN VIEWS, NO HOA, and over $400,000 in thoughtful upgrades. The kitchen is a showpiece, featuring a handmade Italian Ilve gas range with rotisserie spit, modern cabinetry with hidden storage, a hands-free trash cabinet, and an in-drawer microwave. Light fills the dining and living areas, where a wood-burning fireplace creates a warm focal point.

Supplements: The primary suite fits a California King and includes a built-in projector, dual sinks, backlit mirrors, and a spa-inspired shower. The walk-out lower level includes a fireplace, laundry, storage, and flexible space for an office and the third bedroom. Outside, enjoy a pebble-tec pool with fountain, shaded patio, and expansive grassy yard. A fully converted 20-foot air-conditioned shipping container with skylights and LVP flooring offers the perfect studio or workspace. Walk to Trail 100 for desert hikes and stunning sunrises. With upgraded electrical, 2018 A/C, and a newer septic tank, this home is both timeless and reliable. Homes like this aren't built anymore. They're crafted, kept, and cherished. Come see what it feels like to live in one.
