Iconic Post War Era Home in Paradise Valley

Mid-century modern enthusiasts will fall in love with this iconic 1960's post war era home. The pitched roof line, floor to ceiling windows with split beam architecture, and off-set fireplace remind us of a time of exceptional design. The original 1960's home was designed by architect Ralph Wyatt, who is known for his design of commercial buildings in the Phoenix area. Ralph Wyatt had a unique eye for proportion and interesting use of masonry as we see in his horizontal planning atop a mountain hillside.

Doug Sydnor, FAIA later in 1986 enhanced the natural beauty of the home by bringing more outdoor elements in through clerestory windows in the art gallery space to draw the light in and full walls of glass to bring in desert landscape and mountain views.

The property sits on 1.2 acres in pristine Paradise Valley, overlooking Camelback Mountain and Praying Monk. With the remarkable views drawing you outside, the homeowners recently added a luxurious outdoor kitchen featuring top of the line appliances, fireplaces, and a water feature wall. There are no shortage of places to enjoy the sunsets with two additional outdoor fireplaces and open air pergolas creating gathering spaces poolside and mountainside.

The sellers have begun interior updates and have made stunning design choices paying tribute to the original design of the home. Through the renovation process, real terrazzo floors were uncovered and restored in the laundry room, with more expected to be found throughout the kitchen and home.

They've embraced the mix of clean lines and natural elements in the kitchen renovation that has begun. The kitchen features a waterfall quartz island, gas and induction Miele cooktops, and two Sub Zero wine fridges. The layout is also ideal as it opens into the great room that features one of the five fireplaces on property. The kitchen is an entertainers dream.

Additional updates have been made in 2 of the 3.5 bathrooms of the home. The guest bathroom continues to carry the tradition of bringing the outdoors in with floor to ceiling windows overlooking a rock garden. The glass door to the shower draws your eye out and makes the space feel inviting. White stone countertops, custom natural floating cabinetry, and cool tile flooring further enhance the clean design.

While interior updates have begun, this home offers a rare opportunity for someone looking to further enhance their lifestyle through authentic mid-century modern design in the best and most luxurious zip code in the Phoenix area. With the amount of acreage available, there is availability for expanding the property as well.

This home is being offered at $1,700,000.00.
