From the Agent: "Designed by Blaine Drake in 1964, this remarkable Camelback Mountain–area home offers true midcentury desert modern design. With a wonderfully generous floor plan and incredible mountain and city views, this classic home nestles in the foothills on a gently elevated, one-acre lot. The Hawkins House was designed and built in 1963-1964 and figured prominently in Drake’s 1992 Exhibition "40 Years of Architecture In Arizona," which was presented at ASU. A completely custom luxury home, it includes amenities often unseen in this architectural era."

"The home is nearly original, save for thoughtful and updates and improvements, and  the plan has remained unchanged," notes the agent. "Floor-to-ceiling glass and doors connect the home solidly to the outdoors, yet all are sheltered with generous overhangs."
