| This
north facing private courtyard is accented
with a
soothing water fountain, perfectly centered
to the front door. A radius entry is framed
with buttresses on either side, in keeping
with the architectural theme of this Pueblo
Adobe style hacienda. The exposed wood beams
above the entry and the solid wood vertical-grain
fir front door punctuate the southwestern sonoran
spirit of this structure, as the rolling parapets
and rounded corners give a preview to the open
flowing design to be encountered inside. |

As you step into
the home, the floorplan immediately opens up into
a “Great Room” design,
with 8’ windows to the floor spanning 12’ opposite
the front door. You’ll notice the radius entry
with ‘bancos’ on either side; a cozy
place to sit and chat.
To the left you’ll find the family/living area, with a built-in TV in the entertainment center, (with surround-sound wiring & speakers) accented by a custom cabinet face and niche door with hand-painted salt cedar sticks, and a ‘hand-mudded’ masonry fireplace in the corner. Again, you’ll find the soft flowing structural design in the built-in bancos and rounded corners, as well as at the top of the entertainment center.
To
the right, you’ll find the fully equipped
gourmet kitchen with a large island, granite countertops,
a commercial grade vent nestled in a custom made
hanging hood with matching hand beaten copper trim
and bar face. Included are a double refrigerator/freezer,
double wall Dacor convection ovens, a 48” – 6
burner gas Dacor cooktop, ASKO dishwasher, and microwave
oven. Custom cabinetry incorporates individually
hand-painted salt cedar sticks from Santa Fe, New
Mexico, and roll-out shelves. Convenient pantry access
from the kitchen and hallway. To the south of the
kitchen is the radius dining room, with interior
wood frame hand-distressed windows along the entire
radius.
Extra wide passage way to Master Suite, with
large skylight over entry.
Master Suite features trip-tec windows with views
of Pinnacle Peak, vega columns and fireplace (not
shown)
Master suite bath has a fully enclosed shower,
with 6 shower heads, and a separate jetted tub. Separate
his/hers vanities ("Hers" to the left; shown in reflection
of chosed-edged mirror, and below, and "His"
behind the camera’s
position ~ not visible)
Bedroom 2/office has double solid fir wood doors,
interior wood casement windows, radius corners & courtyard
views.
Bedroom 3 is a
suite, with walk-in closet, separate vanity & shower/toilet
room, interior wood casement windows, radius corners & courtyard
views.
Bedroom 4 is also a suite, with a walk-in
closet (door to right of vanity; skylight above)
and a separate
shower/toilet room (to the left of the vanity) that
serves as the ‘pool
bath’ with a door leading out to the backyard & pool
from the shower/toilet room. (door is to left of
shower)
Backyard features a PebbleTec free-form pool with
a waterfall over a cave. Grassy area under large
mesquite (to the right) provides a shady place to
play. Barbeque is conveniently located under the
patio. Flagstone flooring flows from the house out
into the back patio & pool
area continuing the understated elegance from the
home
into the outdoors.
Having an affinity
for the southwest’s “pre-settled” history
lends itself to an appreciation for the architecture
and details of this home; even though it’s
not built of adobe brocks and mud, it still has the
energy conservation quality that the adobe would
~ all the exterior walls are completely insulated
with blown-in blanket insulating foam… (it’s
not just ‘sticks’, plywood, sheetrock & stucco)
keeping it cooler in the summer & retaining the
warmth in the winter.
