Some houses are built. This one is curated. Tucked into a cul-de-sac on the Mesa this 1937 home has been thoughtfully restored and reinvented over the last five years. The result is a blend of period-respectful craftsmanship and modern comfort-original character meets intentional design. Step onto the new Craftsman-style front porch and take in mountain views before walking inside a home where nearly everything has a story. Light fixtures were hand-selected—many sourced from Europe. Colors were chosen, not defaulted. Woodwork was custom-built, and vintage bathroom fixtures were brought in rather than taken out. The kitchen is a centerpiece: custom white oak cabinets, a full-size fridge and separate freezer, retro stove, and butler’s pantry wrapped in rich mahogany. Original hardwood floors have been carefully refinished and new red oak floors bring the character of the home into the later additions. Downstairs cork flooring, wool-carpeted bedrooms, a built-in homework station, and egress windows make the basement feel like true living space. This home was gutted, reframed, reinforced with new beams, rewired (goodbye knob-and-tube), and fitted with solid-core doors, custom stairs and fresh wood paneling. But it is not all about design! For the car lover or RV owner: the oversized 6-car garage with car lift is a dream setup—paired with a new concrete driveway, newer roofs, and fresh stucco, what else would you need? Oh wait, there is another 2 car garage and a barn, garden beds, a well for watering, and half a water share for your irrigation ditch! Young apple trees line the front yard and a privacy fence creates a quiet side garden including mature apricot and mulberry trees. Modern systems round out the romance: Two furnaces and water heaters, radon mitigation, renewed septic, and more. This isn’t a flip. It’s a passion project looking for someone who loves design, appreciates craftsmanship, and maybe needs space for cars, horses or other hobbies!
