As you step through the contemporary arched entrance into this true mid-century modern home, exquisitely designed by the world famous architect John Rattenbury, Frank Lloyd Wright apprentice and Taliesin Architects cofounder, you will feel the natural light bathe each space through purposefully placed skylights and windows throughout the home. The beautiful desertscape can be seen from all rooms and the pool and various sitting areas across the almost acre grounds invite you outside. A statement stone fireplace in the family room, gorgeous red oak hardwood floors throughout with spaces for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying a meal together. This quiet Paradise Valley neighborhood is just a few short minutes to hiking and biking in one direction groceries and restaurants in the other. Mr. Rattenbury designed the home for the Jacuzzi family. Mr. Jacuzzi, due to a childhood illness had rheumatoid arthritis and the only thing that would provide relief was swirling water, hence the jacuzzi jet was borne. He asked Mr. Rattenbury to design the 4 bedroom home to be wheelchair accessible, wider hallways and doorways, including jacuzzi jets in the pool. Mrs. Jacuzzi was an avid gardener and horticulturalist, always planting and tending to the raised bed gardens and yard. This is a wonderful home, designed to truly live and appreciate our beautiful Sonoran desert.
