Designed by renowned architect David Prest, the home features iconic lines and soaring 20-foot ceilings that create a sophisticated, gallery-like volume rarely found in residential properties.
Situated on a generous 20,038 sq. ft. corner lot, the residence offers exceptional privacy with mature landscaping, a wraparound garden, and a private spa retreat.
While the property offers mountain views, the 'peek-a-boo' designation suggests they may be partially obstructed, which could be a drawback for buyers seeking panoramic desert vistas.
