This architecturally-unique contemporary home designed by architects David Clark Mitchell, AIA + Loren Alfred Dickinson, AIA, is beyond compare. Located in the Papago 76 enclave, its distinctive modern elevation has been completely upgraded with smooth stucco, high-end lighting, new garage door, decorative block landscape walls and custom metal side gates.
A welcoming front courtyard offers refined outdoor living space with expanses of Shellock pavers underfoot. The grand modern entry with solid wood door and floor-to-ceiling sidelights welcomes you to this treasured residence. The impressive interiors are enriched with a blend of modern and contemporary elements, clean lines and premium materials. An open floorplan main level includes spacious family and living rooms, formal dining room, remodeled kitchen and updated primary suite. Upstairs there are 2 additional bedrooms that are positioned to offer framed views of Camelback and Papago buttes. The living room overlooks the front courtyard and features soaring vaulted ceilings with an exposed wood beam and a stately wood-burning fireplace. A formal dining room opens up to the cozy entertaining side patio and features vaulted ceilings, an angled clerestory window, and finished concrete floors. The craftsmanship throughout this home is nothing short of extraordinary. The luxe kitchen is appointed with custom walnut cabinetry + millwork, stainless steel appliances, quartz counters with waterfall edge and deep basin sink with a high-end Grohe faucet. Two sets of North-facing, 4-panel sliding glass doors in the family room blur the lines between the inside and outside, letting natural light fill the space, while providing breathtaking views to the new pool and re-designed rear yard, along with a glimpse of Camelback Mountain. The primary suite is located downstairs and features a remodeled ensuite bath (completed in April 2024) with porcelain tiled shower, a floating walnut vanity with quartz counter, and high-end matte black Grohe plumbing fixtures. The hall bath was remodeled with matching features and a deep soaking tub.
