37 E Foothill Dr., Phoenix, AZ 85020

This kind of home only comes around every few years. The ''Atrium House'' has had three lives. First as a modest block construction ranch home. Then in the early 90's with an architectural remodel and steel breezeway/large concrete block addition, and finally since 2007 an ongoing and complete revamp by local Designer and famous Concrete Artisan Cody Carpenter. This painstaking 10 year remodel retained all Bruder details but took the home to a new level. The impeccable details and quality of construction is not seen in homes under $1.5 million anywhere in the Valley as this kind of construction costs $400 a foot. All block walls are heavily insulated with vermiculite and all Corten and Galvalume siding stands off the house by 3/4 inches with foam panels between to eliminate heat transfer. The blend of Corten and Galvalume is a sight to see. This home has magnificent mountain views and offers the feeling that you are completely surrounded by nature. Pools in this area are rare because of the heavy jackhammering needed to get beneath the surface. Home features include: Exposed block construction, Italian glazed porcelain tile flooring, apprx $150k worth of custom steel work around the home and another $100k worth of concrete work, Commercial glass (with pricey awning and casement style windows) Atrium/ Courtyard walls, Gas heaters, range and water heater, all new AC units and rigid ductwork throughout, a private and serene rooftop deck with architectural staircase, All custom kitchen and wet bar and bathrooms. GE Monogram fridge and Verona duel fuel oven/ range. LED landscape accent lighting, Dark walnut cabinetry with custom steel details and built ins and concrete counters. Showers are concrete with an unparalleled level of design and craftsmanship and functional thought. Floating vanities/ wall mounted sinks, Toto, Kohler and Grohe fixtures. Insulated interior walls for sound dampening. Hard trowel/ polished finish on all exterior concrete work. Sliding Corten perf steel Barn doors for outside atrium privacy or openness. Two car covered parking doubles as an entertaining area. Cat 5 wiring throughout home. Too many custom details to list like steel bucket windows and built n wardrobes and nooks and Walnut barn doors. An entertaining couples' dream home... With a serene night time desert ambiance you'd have to experience to understand.
