Wonderfully charming 1938 adobe by renowned architect Josiah Joesler on prime 1.28 acre with incredible views and fantastic privacy

Casually elegant living room with majestic views perfectly framed as art by an oversized picture window; vaulted plank and beam wood ceilings

Dramatic perspective of the living room & views from the dining room

As with all of Joesler's masterpieces, the home is perfected sited to capture magnificent views from every corridor

Unique details throughout; art niches, wood beams, recently refinished gleaming concrete floors, open design allows for a view of the rear yard from the pass through foyer

Flooded with natural light with the original integrity of design preserved as seen in the pass through to the kitchen. Window on the right frames Catalina Mountain views to the North, while the opening on the left provides a view of the back yard through a wall of windows

Wall of windows and glass exterior door provides beautiful views to the south. The wood plan and beam vaulted ceiling provides a sense of warmth and spaciousness. Note the smooth continuation of the glossy concrete floors, and a peek at the lovely rear outdoor space

With the wall of windows framing the rear yard views, and open plan to the left providing mountain views, this perspective provides an additional look at the glass door entryway that leads to the interior (but is tucked inside the wood gated courtyard and provides complete privacy)

Gleaming stainless appliances and custom wood cabinetry

A view of the private and lush entry courtyard is seen from the window over the kitchen sink, with charming open shelving and rich wood cabinetry

Windows line the kitchen walls and (not pictured) a windowed door leads to the North facing patio where more of the spectacular mountain views can be enjoyed

Just outside the kitchen accessed is this lovely patio that is often shaded in the afternoon and graced by beautiful blooming rose bushes. Overlooking natural desert vegetation, it offers incredible mountain views and an outdoor dining opportunity. Lots of space for additional parking is just out of this frame

This romantic escape is set away from the rest of the residence in a magnificent split plan. The fireplace is one of three at the property, and the generous proportions of space provide for a charming sitting area

As seen from the bed, a wall of windows and glass exit door lead to a lush and private rear exterior, allowinf for easy access to the pool, hot sauna and cold plunge (plus city views from the beautiful yard)

Dual sinks, generous space, custom lighting and ample custom cabinets in clean lines

A luxurious jetted soaking tub and oversized walk in shower

Spacious custom closet with ample storage

Delightful family room/den can also serve as the 4th bedroom. Note the original artist rendered tile work on the fireplace surround, just one of so many charming details in this historic Joesler-designed gem

The bonus room is currently used as a music studio, but would also serve beautifully as guest quarters, a home office or gym.

This charming guest bedroom continues the Joesler theme of generous view windows, and enjoys a charming ensuite bath.

Vintage tile provides a sunny design for the ensuite bath of guest bedroom #1

More magnificant mountain views are enjoyed from guest room 32

Vintage tile and mountain views from the hall bath

The pool is enhanced by a charming flagstone seating area complete with a woodburning fireplace and city views below.

This view from above captures the city perspective as well as the thoughtfully planned flagstone seating area and fireplace (a portion of the hot sauna is shown as well)

Just beyond the far wall (to the east) is a non-buildable wash, ensuring privacy and natural desert space surrounding the property

A hot sauna and cold plunge for your wellness routine

This birds-eye view of the rear of the property gives perspective to the grassy play area, and Joesler's thoughtful site location to maximize the beautiful Catalina Mountain views

Tucked away from the street and neighbors, a custom wood gate is the entry to the front courtyard where you will find a beautiful fountain, seating area with fireplace and a pathway to the front door lined with lush vegetation and beautiful hardscape. Property is adjacent to the wash and this photo illustrates that the 1.28 acres have an additional generous buffer zone

Here you see the circular drive that leads to the north side of the home, where the garage is tucked away. guests enter the custom wood gate of the courtyard, moving past the trickling fountain to the lovely glass front door.

Currently a 2-car garage as one space has been converted to a bonus room/studio - would be an easy conversion back if desired

Just adjacent to the wash (up on a hillside lot above it), the greenhouse/shed is right by the walking path into the wash - perfect for a walk or run - or bike ride!
