A quintessential David Tyson contemporary, with all living spaces on the ground level and a second story loft, represents the simplicity of form and expressive spatial compositions, whilst creating wonderfully functional spaces, offering a unique blend of architectural aesthetic and fluid functionality. Sited on over an acre, with unobstructed city and mountain views, the home was designed to offer both scaled social spaces, ideal for entertaining, as well as the privacy of a desert retreat. Uniquely accessed through a privately gated drive (with remote app capability), guests are led through an entry courtyard and view garden that opens onto the main body of the home, framing the surrounding landscape and visual horizon. The open floor plan complements the soft interior textures and strategically placed wood timbers, classic to the Tyson vernacular, while taking full advantage of filtered natural light, creating the perfect balance of scale and proportion. The main foyer opens onto a sophisticated living room with Travertine floors that float seamlessly throughout the space, into the kitchen providing a subtle contrast to the custom built-in natural wood cabinetry. A gourmet chef's kitchen, with a large center-island, stone countertops, and stainless steel pro series appliances, is complete with top-end fit and finish, where every measurement and detail has been carefully considered. A delicate balance of intimate and public spaces fosters a dynamic living environment, with secondary en-suite bedrooms that are generous and bright and discreetly situated on the East wing of the residence, with a loft/office space sequestered on the upper level. The owner's suite, located on the west end of the property, offers a combination of luxury treatments, two oversized walk-in closets, and access to a private owner's yard, with city light views. Built into a hillside, the site was specifically designed to preserve a generous portion of level ground allocated for outdoor living, opening onto large covered verandas on both the North and West ends of the property, serving as an extension to the interior living rooms. The facing yard features an integrated pool and spa with Pentair remote app, allowing one to manage your pool or spa from almost anywhere, while setting the framework for the commanding Catalina Mountain view corridors, with the capacity to enjoy and entertain being effortless.
