Mid-century Modern Inspired Home with Views on Acre-Plus Hillside LotThe owner-builder translated his knowledge and expertise in building mid-century homes to this contemporary earth-sheltered abode, in collaboration with architect James Scalise.Low-Maintenance and Energy-Efficient Truly ahead of its time in design and features, this low-maintenance, energy efficient, earth-sheltered structure is perfectly sited for views, nestled into the hillside, 18 feet below the crest, yet far, far above the expansive desert wash. The home is oriented to the solstice to bring in bright light through walls of glass that capture outstanding views of Four Peaks, the McDowell Mountains, the north and eastern mountain ranges, the sky and the lush hillside. Energy-efficient due to site orientation, design, construction and materials, the home offers privacy, a pool with swim jets, large patio, flexible living spaces and multiple atria and skylights. One would assume its earth-sheltering would create dark spaces, but with the 100 linear foot expanse of floor-to-ceiling windows and several atria and skylights, it doesn't. A reflective, curving, mirrored hallway wall of aluminum and glass adds to the timeless modern design that sets this home apart from any other. Every room has exposure to the outdoors, and it's easily forgotten that it's earth-sheltered. This home was featured in a book entitled, "Earth-Sheltered Homes."Today's Command-Central, Round KitchenThe kitchen, fitted by the owner in his professional millwork shop, is as in vogue and stylish today as it was when built. The frameless cabinets, with simple full-overlay doors, follow the radius curve of the room and are finished in multiple layers of paint covered with a 1/8" clear acrylic surface that makes them impervious to fingerprints or scratches. They have unique, German-made handles with sprinkles of color. The dust-proof doors open to lighted interiors with built-in, pullout storage. A door design in colorful stain on birds' eye maple brings art into the space, breaking up the expanse of white cabinetry. The kitchen was updated in 2016 with stainless steel, built-in, high-end appliances, and your purchase includes a Sub-Zero refrigerator with custom matched acrylic door panels fitted seamlessly into the cabinetry. The owner's kitchen design was featured in Architectural Digest Magazine. Sleek Contemporary DesignThe home is reminiscent of sleek, streamlined airline design, reflecting the owner-builder's taste and his passion, as he's also a pilot. The kitchen design details include a ceiling light fixture with recessed lights that is modern art itself. A Corian sink is integrated into the white and black accented Corian countertop and is surrounded by depressed areas that drain water. The range hood cabinetry integrates storage, lighting and venting in a stepped design reminiscent of art deco. Clean Lines and Clutter-Free SpacesThe home's design details adhere to mid-century modern's clean lines' and clutter-free spaces mantra. A toaster and can opener don't sit on the counter, but instead are built-in to the Corian backsplash and pop out for use with just a light touch of a finger.
