About This Home

As of August 2013

This quintessential ''carefree'' home is perfection personified. From the moment you arrive thru the private courtyard with Saltillo tile, you know this is something special. The bright, airy kitchen with white tile counters and light cabinetry could be featured in Sunset Magazine. All bedrooms are en-suite. Five sets of double French doors beautifully provide visual and functional access to romantic outdoor escapes. Enter the living room to get toasty beside the wood-burning beehive fireplace, while admiring breathtaking sunsets surrounding Black Mountain. The living room features exquisite butted-glass windows providing a panorama of the desert and beyond. Flagstone surrounds the pool and accentuates the lovely lush gardens. This extraordinary casa will captivate your heart and soul.
