A charming Saltillo tile walkway, a wooden privacy gate, and scalloped walls guide you to the front courtyard with a gracious fountain that creates an ambiance you can only find in far-off places. The heavy wooden front door expresses solidity with a dramatic stone surround that sets it apart from other facade openings and is protected with covered patios supported by traditional carved wood posts. The heavy rustic wooden front door is surrounded by reclaimed stone and welcomes you to a hexagonal foyer with soaring ceilings with faux medallion, a gorgeous iron chandelier, and decorative iron clerestory windows. The reclaimed French roof tile flooring flows throughout most of the house and even into the attached garage.

The foyer opens to a spacious great room with clerestory windows, a large front window framed with incredible saguaro rib shutters, a stone surround fireplace, and beautiful double doors that open to a large, covered patio boast distinctive hardware and custom wooden screen doors so you can enjoy the fresh air all year long.

Flanking the casita is a 75-foot, tiled, salt-water lap pool and spa intentionally designed so that no individual tiles were cut. Eight pillared spillways with ceramic tile, massive agaves, and planted urns adorn the lap pool. The backyard is complete under the watchful eye of the lion carved into the low wall separating the lap pool from the ramada.

The dining room vaulted tongue and grove wood beamed ceiling continue the spacious feel of the great room while a faux-finished scallop shell motif niche adds a touch of Spanish influence to the home. Two large windows with saguaro rib shutters overlook the front courtyard.
