Sedona, AZ 86336

Nestled amongst red rocks, junipers and pines, this tasteful Santa Fe style home offers breathtaking views of nearby Elephant Rock, with imposing Cathedral Rock, front and center. On the distant horizon stand Arizona's imposing Black Hills. In winter, their caps frequently dusted by overnight snows.

The walled entry gate, opens to reveal a tastefully refinished interior courtyard of river rock, red rock and chipped flagstone. A freestanding red rock fireplace stands along the perimeter wall. The house's principle living areas, designer kitchen and master suite, feature natural hardwood floors and exceptionally high ceilings. The unimpeded space, augmented by a wide open, contemporary floor plan, belie the home's modest footprint. Energy efficient casement windows abound, bathing the rooms in natural light. An imposing central fireplace, open on 3 sides, serves as a focal point. The architecture reflects the creativity and passion of the husband and wife team who built this home. He was a custom kitchen designer, she a professional chef. It can comfortably coddle a couple as effortlessly as a spirited gathering of twenty.

The spacious kitchen is highly functional, with an abundance of desirable features and a large pantry. A thoughtfully designed host bar is located near a discreet service door, accessing the front deck and courtyard. An inviting master suite, with a wood burning Kachina fireplace, walk-in closet and custom bath, take up the entire rear of the house. All have functional, custom wood cabinetry. The master bath features dual sinks, glass enclosed shower, slate floors, a toilet closet and a soaking tub with air jets.
