About This Home

Some homes are built for the market. This one was built for the land. The owner designed and built this home in 2005 with one goal: a home that blends into the North Phoenix desert. Twenty years later, it's on the market for the first time. The construction is the story. Double-wall adobe block forms the exterior and several interior walls, giving the home real thermal mass in the Arizona heat. Where there is drywall, it sits on steel framing. A metal roof sits overhead, and reclaimed wood finishes the eaves. The single wrought iron entry door, with intricate hand-forged scrollwork over a glass panel, sets the tone before you step inside. This is durable, low-maintenance construction chosen for longevity. Inside, barrel-vaulted ceilings open up the living areas.
