An authentic Mud Adobe located in the highly sought after Adobes Del Bosque community within the historic Ft. Lowell District, meticulously hand-built, using craftsman techniques and materials, with all the modern conveniences of today. Enter through the private courtyard into a high design interior space that complements and reflects this regional vernacular, utilizing a delicate balance of tones, textures, and finishes, providing the ideal backdrop for the individual design sensibility. Constructed of stabilized Mud Adobe, this mass wall system offers substance, as well as thermal properties, perfectly suited for our desert climate. 2,604 square feet (2,136 Main + 468 Casita) of interior living space, consisting of 4 Bedrooms and 3 Bathrooms, with an attached 2 car garage and 4 car covered carport, accessed through its own private motorized gate. Upon entry one is greeted with archetypal wood beamed ceilings, specific to the vernacular, and stretching the length of the great room, with proportions that provide volume of scale and space, while also retaining a welcoming sense of intimacy. Sited on an ideal North/South axis and beyond the home's traditional Territorial reveal, one is greeted with authentic, hand trawled integral colored plaster textures, complimenting the exquisite attention to detail, providing both a visual and tactile experience. Exposed concrete floors, juxtaposed against plastered and exposed Mud Adobe walls, enhances the visceral feel of the natural materials from which this home was constructed. The kitchen's disciplined design features are set off by the Viking stainless steel professional series appliances, with custom alder wood cabinetry, wrapped in concrete countertops and set against traditional Talavera tile backsplash, overlooking the great room living spaces. A sumptuous owner's suite is privately sequestered on the West wing of the residence and is ideal for those in search of a split bedroom floor plan. A series of exterior doors and windows open onto the grounds, filling the room with soft, natural light, providing a reintroduction to the home's effortless blend of laissez-faire. Maximizing the dramatic relationship between interior and exterior spaces is achieved through careful design and placement of the structure with connectivity to the surrounding desert landscape. Layers of covered patios are perfectly suited to enjoy year round, with views stretching out over the thoughtfully curated yardscape, creating the perfect framework for the sun drenched pool and elevated spa, acting as the centerpiece of this classic courtyard vernacular home.
