Nestled just below the landmark rock outcroppings of Apache Peak and with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, vista views of the valley beyond, city lights and captivating fiery, Arizona sunsets, this classic Santa Fe style home depicts a timelessness in both character and design. Along with the commanding views, it is the quality craftsmanship seen in the many architectural details in and around the home that creates a simple elegance that exudes warmth and intimacy. As you approach the home on the long, gently curved driveway lined with lush desert vegetation, hear the trickling sound of water in the carved stone fountain and meander along the stone covered, winding walkway through the front courtyard to the front door, the tone has been established for the character and intimacy you will find in this home. The very spacious and inviting floor plan allows the common spaces to blend beautifully. From the foyer, enhanced by the stone floor, the tall ceiling with a fine, furniture quality, millwork style box wood ceiling and a wall of glass, you are immediately entranced by the subtilty of the details and the drama of the garden view with its boulder outcroppings. As the foyer opens into the great room, with its additional space for formal dining, the wood floors, ceiling covered in tongue and groove wood planks and with massive wood beams, the fireplace and another wall of glass showcasing the magnificent and dramatic views of the valley, there is an overwhelming need to sit down and simply enjoy the warmth and character of the room and the views beyond. The hearth room, also highlighted by wood floors and a fireplace, blends seamlessly with the gourmet kitchen. The kitchen is showcased with a large working island, walk-in pantry and views of the pool and garden and the valley's vista views beyond. Both spaces blend seamlessly with the intimate and casual dining area, made charming with its curved wall and windows looking on to the gardens. The Master suite, with its fireplace, sitting area and expansive walk-in closet, also offers incredible views through another wall of windows. Two ensuite guest bedrooms with walk-in closets are extremely spacious and separated from each other, allowing guests greater privacy. One offers a private patio and wonderful mountain views and the second overlooks the courtyard garden area. A third guest bedroom is used as a den and offers direct access to another private patio. Wonderful privacy and tranquility make this a unique place to retreat. As a personal retreat, or for entertaining, the outdoor areas of this very distinctive home offer another inspired living space. Designed with a south facing yard that is easily enjoyed year-round, the spacious patio with its pool, spa, built-in BBQ, covered areas and spectacular views make it ideal for entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful setting and privacy it offers.
