About this home

Meticulously remodeled by the current owner while remaining true to its architectural roots, this classic Midcentury residence was designed by famed architect Richard A. Harrison, whose work is closely associated with the clean lines, thoughtful proportions, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow that define Desert Modernism. In the main house, the primary en-suite features a custom bookcase wall, a large closet, mountain views, and direct access to the backyard.

Generously sized, the second bedroom offers mountain views, ample closet space, and its own HVAC system, with convenient access to the secondary bath. Preserving much of its original character, the guest bath is elevated with curated designer details that honor the integrity of the era, while a separate door allows the bedroom and bath to be closed off together, creating a fully private guest suite.An attached casita, updated and refreshed, serves as the third bedroom and bath and includes a kitchenette, making it an ideal space for guests, extended stays, or a private retreat. Completely remodeled, the kitchen is a standout design element, showcasing custom cabinetry, distinctive Midcentury tiled walls, and newer appliances that blend timeless style with modern function. Generous in scale, the great room features modern walnut paneling, a restored fireplace upgraded to gas, and expansive views overlooking the pool and outdoor living areas.
