A conveted Ralph Haver home in the Marlen Grove neighborhood - a central Phoenix-area recently ranked as a ''top ten best neighborhood'' by the Phoenix New Times. As described, the small cluster of Haver homes is ''basically a drive-thru museum of Midcentury Modern architecture.'' Desired for their flexible designs and creative design-conscious neighbors, ''Haver's'' exude a classic contemporary vibe. This home features an oversized master and separate entrance to guest quarters. 3 bdrm, 3.25 bath with large dining area, Great Room and office niche. It was restored by Valley architect John Douglas in 2008. Its award-winning design boasts Haver spatial qualities, bright colors and custom touches. Small additions to the back promote livability, which includes a spectacular mosaic glass-tiled master bath and wall-sized windows. If you like outdoor-living, this is a must-see. With wood and metal exteriors, its major visual statement was reserved for the outdoor living spaces. Dramatic translucent walls made of colored resin create a wonderland of light reflecting on the pool surface. A steel ramada provides outside shelter, augmented by cooling fans, reading lights and an outdoor shower, and surrounded by desert-sensitive landscaping. You may feel more like you are an upscale resort than a house
