This custom-built 3,220 sq. ft. home is more than a style. Contemporary desert vernacular is an architectural language grounded in place, according to local architectural historian R. Brooks Jeffery, respecting the delicate Sonoran Desert environment, and incorporating time-honored design principles with contemporary interpretations that reflect the cultural characteristics unique to Tucson. Situated on 2.17 acres at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the gated Quintana in the Catalina Foothills, this residence offers unmatched city and mountain views and a level of construction quality rarely seen in today's new builds. Designed by renowned architect Michael Franks and brought to life by La Quinta Building Company, this 3-bedroom, 2 ½-bath home is being built to endure featuring masonry construction with mortar-washed brick details and will be completed with steel casement windows and doors with dual-glazed high-efficiency glass. Inside, the finished home's spacious great room will showcase walls of glass, a beamed ceiling, and a carved limestone fireplace, seamlessly blending indoor living with the surrounding desert landscape. Scored, integral-color concrete floors will flow throughout the home, complemented by custom alder wood and glass cabinetry and 8-foot solid wood interior doors, every detail carefully chosen to elevate the home beyond standard finishes. The gourmet kitchen will feature a generous center island, natural quartzite countertops, and a premium appliance suite including Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove. This home offers two primary suites, each with spa-like en-suites, which will feature quartzite tub decks, custom limestone tile and glass shower enclosures, and custom-designed walk-in closets with built-in organization. Additional features will include a fully integrated audio, visual, and security system, state-of-the-art mechanical systems and motorized shades in private areas. Room for a spool. Outdoors, a brick driveway and courtyard entry, hand-forged wrought iron gates and railings, and professionally designed hardscape and landscape will create a striking first impression. The expansive rear porch captures panoramic mountain views. This single-level home exemplifies architectural integrity and enduring quality, designed as an extension of its natural surroundings creating harmony between architecture and nature. Located just minutes from premier golf courses, country clubs, and world-class dining and shopping. Scheduled for completion in 2026.
