Perched on a quiet street above the Forest Park Communities, the home offers striking southern and western valley views framed by expansive walls of glass and warm, natural surroundings.Remodeled to the studs in 2017 with close attention to design and detail, the residence features an open floor plan and floor-to-ceiling windows, anchored by a sleek chef’s kitchen complete with a 10-foot quartz waterfall island, and Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele appliances. The adjacent dining solarium and wet bar alcove create the feeling of dining outdoors.Vaulted ceilings, clean lines, and minimalist finishes carry the design ethos throughout. The primary suite is a private retreat with southwest views, a fireplace, and radiant heated bath floors. The flexible layout includes three additional bedrooms—each with private entries—a gym/media room, and a spacious separate studio perfect for creative work or guest quarters. Recent updates include a new laundry room on the lower level, a pergola over the front patio, gutter guards, and a modern fireplace in the great room.With thoughtful smart wiring, artisan touches, and an unbeatable location just minutes from downtown, Nike, and Intel, this is a rare opportunity to own an iconic home reimagined for modern life.
