Mountain Preserve House – Rothwell Architecture

Taking full advantage of its location near the Phoenix Mountain Preserve, this architect-designed home is one of a kind. Designed by Susanne Rothwell and built by John Schultz of Schultz Development, this home incorporates steel and block construction. Soaring ceilings and full height glass windows gather views from every setting.

Built to last, this design speaks of quality construction and timeless architecture. Split-face block anchors the design of this home to allow a soaring metal roof to sweep over the center of the home in an arc of glass and wood, all assembled with structural steel which was custom-formed due to its size and unique specifications. Hardwood and stone floors make for lasting luxury, while open steel stairs and soaring spaces keep it contemporary and spacious. The finishes are simple and classic: travertine, granite and maple.

This split-floor plan home includes generous bedrooms, den/office and en-suite access connecting baths. The generous master suite offers soft natural light and dual walk-in closets. Get ready to relax in the full sized wood sauna, shower or free-standing tub. A private outdoor shower connects you to the elements.

The glorious Euro-style kitchen is open to the large family room for the perfect balance of interconnection with guests, friends and family. Featuring double ovens and dishwashers, this kitchen is a cook’s dream. The sit-up island makes it a perfect place to cook, chat and visit. The adjacent family room’s wood burning fire feature does double duty working as both a heating element as well as a built in pizza oven!

The upper loft is not to be missed. It has a birds-nest view that comes complete with full bar and walk out patio. Enjoy sunset vistas from the upper roof deck which is covered for a break from the sun. Downstairs, a double-deep patio is evaporatively cooled for outdoor living all summer long.

The 1.3 acre lot offers room to roam complete with pool, above-ground spa and natural grass lawn. A built-in BBQ and fire-pit will let you live your outdoor life to the fullest.

The oversized 4-car garage clocks in at nearly 1,600 sf and provides ample storage for the collector or hobbyist.

You’ll enjoy the solitude of a Paradise Valley Area location with the convenience of easy access to SR-51 and the Shea Corridor. A trip to the airport typically takes less than 20 minutes. The nearby Phoenix Mountain Preserve will have you hiking, biking and possibly even wanting to explore the famous “Trail 100”. You’ll find popular Paradise Valley Schools too! With over 5,600 sf of contemporary design, this home has it all…
