*Phoenix Home and Garden dubbed it “The Jewel of the Desert”. Designed and built by famed Philadelphia Architect Adolph deRoy Mark as his own personal residence, this home is a salute to the Sonoran Desert! Perched on a knoll with sweeping views, this enchanting home will captivate you. An array of patios and balconies capture an Arizona sunset as it washes the mountains with purple, or greet the sunrise with mule deer and elf owls.
Outside the stucco walls, the 3.1 Acre lot boasts of lush, natural desert vegetation that includes 32 majestic Saguaros. Enter the antique iron gate, flanked by a quaint bell tower, and it’s as if you’ve entered a secret garden. Each vignette tells a story with water features, fireplaces, grapevine arbors, brick courtyards, organic vegetable garden and carved stone reliefs embedded on stucco walls. An expansive grass area provides cool relief while the pool overlooks a desert wash where sightings of wildlife are an everyday occurrence. All serve as a backdrop for a home as unique as its setting. Massive carved doors from a church in Mexico give a hint to visitors that this home is unlike any other. Details inside complete the feeling of Old World charm from Saltillo floors and custom cabinetry, to built-in niches and antique doors. The circular living room with its massive fireplace and spectacular views is the heart of this special home. Step out of the mundane, and enter an environment that will inspire and challenge you to re-think your lifestyle.
