High desert meets high style in Nichols Hills. It’s big luxury living in a one-level, right-sized, lock-and-leave home with front gardens inspired by the rugged beauty of the Arizona foothills. A wisteria-vine espalier over the garage will gently perfume the grounds. The wide front porch, natural flagstone exterior and built-in planters are both transformative and deliciously familiar. Inside, take in the burnished original wood floors, stacked stone gas fireplace and easy floorplan. Fun transition from living to dining – its large-scale chandelier is dramatic and a little whimsical. The screened, covered side porch has been refurbished with new framing, screens, fixtures and paint. It’s spacious enough for separate seating and dining areas. Cool in the warm months and cozy when autumn’s chill is in the air, this is where you’ll take a favorite book. Pretend you’re going to read and nap instead. Kitchen and great room are quite large, with a relaxed vibe and classic European style. French green walls and cloud-colored cabinetry in the kitchen. Chic marble counters, island and backsplash. Delicate, Degas-inspired pendant lighting above the island. In the powder, more vintage-style French fixtures and a gray-and-white harlequin marble floor. A second stacked stone gas fireplace anchors the far wall. Well-placed windows splash light into the room and give excellent views of new, mature landscaping. Plantings have been undertaken with low-water ease and plenty of pollinator friendly beauty in mind. Three large bedrooms. One is perfect for guests – it’s large enough for a king bed and it’s directly across the hall from a full bath with joyful, chinoiserie-like wallpaper. We love a moody primary suite, and this one is lined with custom European closets and Kelly Wearstler chandelier. Its cool Retreat green is immediately soothing and the en suite contains a soaking tub adorned with gold fixtures. Ooh la la! Dozens of improvements since 2023. You’re going to love it here!
