Property Description
The Original Rancho Solano - An Architectural Landmark in North Central Phoenix. Homes in this community rarely become available. Positioned within the iconic horseshoe of Rancho Solano, one of the area's original architectural residences, and a true architectural gem of North Central Phoenix. Designed around artful light, intimacy, and seamless indoor-outdoor living, the home is defined by floor-to-ceiling multi slide glass doors, expansive skylights, and a thoughtful connection to its expansive .62-acre grounds. Mature, professionally designed landscaping by Arizona landscape architect Bill Tonnesen frames the property with sculptural greenery and privacy, creating a setting that feels both curated and serene.
