A recessed wall built-in storage unit for your favorite vinyls right above the hatch top turn table piece is a show stopper. The red brick that stands the test of time still sets the tone. The offset copper door k***s in the center of gleaming walnut doors charm you to enter. The blue cast iron tub & sink set just make you smile. 😊

This 1 acre vacant lot in Arcadia sells for a record-breaking $4.75 million dollars! 😲 It was originally part of the Frank Lloyd Wright family property and boasts great views of Camelback Mountain.

I wonder what type of home will be built...

"In my mind, this is the best lot in all of Arcadia."

What do you get when you combine Ralph Haver + Wendell Burnette + Michele Shelor? Magic ✨

This post-war modern home was recently updated by one of the best desert modern architects we know, FAIA.
Originally built by mid century architect Ralph Haver, this home is located in Marlen Grove, THE quintessential Haver neighborhood in North Central Phoenix.

The architect reorganized the plan, creating an open kitchen, elegant baths, and an even more harmonious relationship to the outdoors. Expansion of the roof line in mimicry of the original offers repetition of form, and the addition of clerestory windows, clear glass and abundant skylights balance the natural light.

The area, Marlen Grove, was just that: a former white grapefruit citrus orchard in which Haver developed just 73 homes. Today, it offers a wonderful North Central Location with access to all. In 2020, this home was featured in a 13 page article published in with landscape planning by Colwell Shelor.

Highest quality architectural details are used judiciously, keeping the spaces uncluttered and open fitting for this exclusive design-oriented neighborhood. The attention to detail in this home makes it a minimalist’s dream come true – we think you will want to call this one home.

Turf wars in Paradise Valley...A homeowner is being fined for installing artificial turf in their front yard by the HOA. The homeowner is saving countless gallons of water, over $1,100 a month in water bills, and feels that the "grass" meets their communities standards.

Do you think the HOA is overstepping on this homeowners rights to conserve water and update their property as they see fit?

There is now a bill in the works to stop HOAs from banning artificial grass. We will see what happens!

What homeowner Sherry Lund thought was a good idea quickly turned into an actual turf war with her HOA.

A sustainable future for ourselves and our industry is very important to me and that is why I am so excited about this earth-sheltered subterranean home! It was designed and built by the engineer owner to create a highly efficient desert home.

A glorious center courtyard, open to the sky, provides abundant natural light and open air access to nearly every room in the home. A perfect setting for casual living and generous entertaining, this courtyard offers cool plantings and a connection to sun and stars. Open to the sky, this courtyard was engineered to accept a variety of green house enclosure options, which would allow this space to become completely sheltered: imagine greenhouse courtyard living all year long!

Did you know I serve as a GREEN designated REALTOR®? We support the US Green Building Council in its efforts to bring more high-performance home education to the real estate industry and consumers. Happy to share more of why this home will stand the test of time and an evolving climate. Ask me anything!

We talked a bit about some questions you need to ask yourself prior to considering moving yesterday, but I wanted to give you greater insight into the market as a whole today.

⭐️ Supply, supply, supply…We talk about the limited supply in the market so much because the supply index and demand index still remain nowhere near one another. Supply is below normal by 74%! This not only drives the prices of homes up, but it also pushes people into the rental market and drives those prices up as well.

⭐️ Most houses are selling within 7-8 days on market and 43% of listings are selling above list price by an average of $10,000 or more depending on price point.

⭐️The appreciation over the last two years has been incredible. In January 2021 through January 2022 homeowners experienced an average appreciation of 26%. For context, an average year is around 5-10%.

I’ll be doing more of these market in a minute updates to quickly give you detailed information about buying and selling in Arizona. Was this helpful for you?

“…In New York it’s Park Avenue…In Billingham it’s “Up The Hill”…In London it’s Buckingham Palace…In Phoenix it’s Executive Towers!”

In 1963, Al Beadle designed a tower of luxury living in the heart of Phoenix creating the tallest building in Arizona at 22 stories. Creating a one-of-a-kind luxury home in the sky above the mountain peaks established Al Beadle as a modern architect of his time.

Thanks to the Phoenix Historic Preservation Commission and being on the National Register of Historic Places, this building has been wonderfully preserved for mid-century modernists to appreciate. The use of mixed materials and curves in the building, artwork in communal areas, the poolside concrete umbrella help take you into the past and know that Beadle was entirely right in the potential Phoenix had to become a modern luxury place of living.

👏 for preserving the original brochures
