This architecturally striking home, a mid-century modern original from the famed Arizona architect Al Beadle, is offered to the discerning buyer who desires to live outside the box of ordinary! Beadle meticulously sited the home, capturing breathtaking sunrises and sunsets through his signature floor-to-ceiling windows, some of which present below grade to flow seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. This home beautifully showcases Al Beadle's unmistakable perspective, brimming with his iconic signature style. The entire property exemplifies pride of ownership with decades of quality updates, renovations, and upgrades that carefully adhere to the original design. Luxury features have been added, like an exterior 50 amp charging station, whole-house smart home features and surround sound audio, home security systems, automatic sunshades, and upgraded, app-controlled equipment for the pebble sheen pool. Also added is a sizeable haven for your pet, built above and below ground for protection from the wild ones. The property is also ideal for the car enthusiast, with an extended 3-car garage sporting industrial glass doors and a generous enclosed storage room. Step inside this thoughtful split-floor plan with a kitchen and living room made for hosting, whether you entertain around the modern stone fireplace or cozy up in the breakfast nook with views of the surrounding desert scene. The well-appointed kitchen includes copious storage, upgraded appliances, a pantry, backlit lower cabinets, stainless steel backsplash, and framed, ground-level windows. There are three wings to the home, with two master suites that include private patios, en suite baths, sitting areas, walk-in closets, beautiful soaking tubs, and sunshades for privacy. The primary master is designed to be the homeowner's retreat, including its en suite bath which is a retreat unto itself. In the third wing of this extraordinary home, you'll find a bedroom perfect for an office or a guest suite, offering meditative views of the pristine pool and the surrounding desert. Sunlight flows beautifully and reflects off the subtle, metallic sheen found throughout the home. The theme of this property is elegant design that blends beautifully with the Sonoran Desert, perfect for the wildlife enthusiast looking for sophisticated, modern living. You feel the serenity immediately as you approach the circular driveaway under the vibrant, tensile shade. Nestled on over two acres, this secluded property offers beautiful views of Sunrise Mountain. Convenient access to hiking and biking trails with opportunities awaiting at the Legend Trail Golf Course and an array of shopping and dining options in Cave Creek, Carefree, and Scottsdale.
