Ultimate Contemporary Home for Sale in Phoenix

Welcome to the perfect example of what makes vintage Contemporary architecture so wonderful, and why you should be excited when you find a such a flawless Contemporary home for sale in Phoenix. An open floor plan (over 2,000 square feet of it in this case) and natural materials that blend the home with its surrounding landscape. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and wood slats (a modern take on the vigas and latillas of Spanish and Santa Fe homes, adding a tidier but no less pleasing textural accent). And best of all, expansive, floor-to-ceiling windows that convey the natural light indoors and frame the spectacular mountain and city views as part of the elegant decor. Not to mention the views of the house itself, both inside and outside, everywhere you look a pleasing composition in a larger, complex but harmonious master work of art.

Designed by the celebrated architect Harold Ekman in 1950, when this was a brand new Contemporary home for sale it was the first one on Camelback Mountain’s western slope. From 1996 to 2005, the current owners have been busy updating, upgrading, and restoring the plumbing, roof, stained concrete flooring, heating and cooling, kitchen, bathrooms, and the lovely geometric pool with multi-level decks.

Three bedrooms and 3 bathrooms make a good-size family home but there’s plenty of room for adding on in the .77-acre lot. And it’s in a cul-de-sac so traffic is truly at a minimum. Other pluses include skylights, a breakfast nook, a stunning kitchen with a pantry and an island, three fireplaces (living room, master bedroom, and patio), a jet tub in the master bathroom, an outdoor dining ramada and two-car garage. And a charm that just gets better and better.

The home is being offered at $1,200,000 as of the date of this post. Click Phoenix contemporary home for sale for the virtual tour, photos and description or call me on 602-620-6267 with questions.
